Article: Game Thread: Twins v Brewers, 5/18 @ 7:10pm CT

[jun]

Only Rosario, Escobar and Kepler have been contributing offensively these days.

It probably is.

 

I just want more from first base, than some walks and a few soft singles to left. Along with the need for time off every third or fourth game. For 23 million.

yup, a good fielding first baseman vs a league average fielding first baseman saves you a few runs per year. Gotta mash to play first Edited May 19, 2018 by Sconnie

Just wasn't our night, i guess.

Just tuned in to see if that kid that strikes out 60% of the batters he faces was gonna throw for the brewers.

 

Mauer out with neck tightness

 

23 

 

million 

 

 

for that

Say what you will about Mauer, but is he not allowed to get injured due to his massive salary? There are plenty of things to be mad about today, but I don't think this should be one of them. 

 

He's getting old and these kind of injuries are going to happen. I wouldn't want to mess with a neck ailment. Now, if we're talking about extending his contract... yeah, this would be a problem.

[Platoon]

And just to prove my point, we traded minor leaguer Ramos for proven major league talent Matt Capps.

 

Need I provide further examples of the certainty of my plan?

 

//hides head in shame

I always admire a man who admits his plan is not foolproof. because none are.

They have no long man now. Mind. Boggling.

My idea was to bring Trevor May up to be the long man when he is ready to come off of the DL. I don't know if they are trying to stretch him out as a starter, but a multi-inning bullpen arm seems to be a logical role for him at this point, given the logjam in the rotation that will exist when Ervin Santana comes back around the same time.

[ashbury]

I'll take that as a compliment...I think...

That's not the interpretation I would have recommended.
