Finally caught up on the thread...

 

I can answer my own question. Yes. We won yet another game.

 

And the phrase not hitting on all cylinders just means some of that bats have not been igniting, right?

 

Clean off them spark plugs! Mind the gap. We should be hitting on all cylinders soon!

Feel kind of sorry for De Jong but dude you have to throw strikes. Walking people is a recipe disaster just ask Gibson. As far as Gibson goes I don't feel sorry for him at all. He needs to quit being such a knucklehead. Not sure why he was so worried about the guy on second base. Worry about the guy in the batter box. The guy on second isn't going anywhere the out you want is the guy with the bat in his hand so throw strikes! I hope De Jong is able to recover from this. He's going to have to spend a couple extra years in the minors to recover from this.

I have to say something about Roco. I haven't always agreed with some of his decisions but he always ends up being right. Great hire by the front office he's a really good manager. Our squad made De Gram look human.

Here is something to think about. If we keep playing and winning like this how bad do we want to see Sano back in the lineup? We have some chemistry right now and adding him to the lineup just because we're supposed to may not be the best idea.

My guess is De Jong gets sent down tomorrow with Duffey or Vasquez coming up. I'm also guessing De Jong is at the front of the line to get dropped if the Twins need to make a 40 man roster move.

 

I can't imagine it will be Duffey, he already got replaced by Ryne Harper. It would seem silly to have two curveball-only pitchers in the pen.

 

Heck, it seems silly to have even one.
