Things Rocco Doesn't Pay Attention To (Phillies Series Recap, 7/22-7/24)
Hosting the team with the best record in the Majors, the Minnesota Twins took two of three at Target Field to win a series over the Philadelphia Phillies, and Dan and Hoges can hardly believe it. But they agree: Considering how many players are missing from the Twins' roster, this was an impressive series win in which Minnesota played the better brand of baseball. Still, they have many critiques for Rocco Baldelli, largely surrounding his pinch hitting tendencies and his propensity to ignore reverse splits. They also look ahead to next week's trade deadline and wonder whether players like Eddy Julien, Trevor Larnach or Matt Wallner will be with this team into August. They are hopeful about the impending returns of Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda heading into this weekend's road trip that begins in Detroit. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!
