MadLibs time. Everyone, suggest a suitable substitution.

 

I'll go with "editor", just to get the proceedings off on a low-hanging-fruit note.

Ladies and gentlemen, you can tell your grandchildren: you were there to witness a Willians Astudillo strikeout.

Haha, #3.

 

Yet, he got his batting average over .350 at the moment.

 

With one catcher coming off a season-long injury, and another off a concussion, it would be criminal for the Twins not to keep this versatile guy around, despite his comedic factor.

[Han Joelo]

Wow! That game thread opener almost made me feel like the Twins still had a sot at the playoffs. Whoops-Freudian spellcheck there. Anyway, nicely done.

 

In Math news, Stephen Gonsalves would've needed 205 pitches plus a time machine in order to have pitched a complete game tonight.

[Danchat]

Didn't think I lived in the timeline where Astudillo hits .361 at some point...

[ashbury]

Haha, #3.

I appreciate your new avatar, by the way.

[Mike Sixel]

Gonsalves gets the W, and people still think Wins is a good stat...hahahahahahahaha.

At least Astudillo seems to have cemented his place at catcher next year, and I do think Austin is the 1B. Now they need Buxton and Sano to play like stars.....

[Mike Sixel]

With Garver's head issues, I'd put him at 1B and DH and maybe RF next year, as the third catcher.
