They need the 40 man space for someone. 

 

Any Chance we made a trade for Jose Fernandez and AJ Ramos? 

[Danchat]

Hughes has done pretty well so far... too bad there's no offense to back him up.

Man I hate replay

Man I hate replay

Just needs to be timed.  If the review takes more than two minutes, the play stands.  Seems obvious.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

On an unrelated note, the Twins DFA'd C John Hicks and he was claimed by the Tigers. That leaves a 40 man roster spot open, but they only have 2 catchers on it. 

 

Are they bringing David Murphy up? Or finding a new 3rd catcher?

List of players Twins could clear off their 25 man roster right now:

 

Buxton

Dozier

Escobar

Arcia

Gibson

Nolasco

Milone

Fien

Jepsen

Mauer needs to homer or this game is well done.

Nothing going right today.

 

Except Sano at third!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Nolasco?

I will keep him around a couple more starts, just for you

You forgot the other 16? 

[Aggies7]

Is there anyway we can still be contracted? 17 ks. Maybe next year we can construct a roster that doesn't rely 80% on unproven prospects.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

H.F.S.

[HitInAPinch]

Oh, nice play Sano!

[Riverbrian]

Anybody who just saw Sano make that play at 3B is going to be pissed about him playing RF. 

 

Except me of course.

Is there a particular reason Park did not hit for Rosario? I could understand Buxton last night, a chance for a shot of confidence, but I thought today was odd? And this is. Coming from someone who is not sold on Park?

[Riverbrian]

We will need Park in the 9th? 

 

or 10th? 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Plouffe probably makes that play too, but Sano makes it look so..explosive

I think Einstein said something about moving a lot of mass creates an explosion....

The more initials, and the more decimal points, the higher the importance to stat heads! .

it's too bad Einstein couldn't hit, we have an opening on the 40 man.
