I just saw Acuna of Atlanta hit a homer and stand and admire it.  When I was a kid, watching Gibson, Drysdale, Ryan, etc, I wonder what they would do if that kid did that to one of them?

Did we bring an umbrella or a sacred banging stick?

I believe that Donaldson brought his sacred banging stick. And it came through!

They'd probably get a nice tattoo during the next at bat

Bring him a Gatorade to make sure that he was properly hydrated for when he finally decided to round the bases?

Not even maeda is immune to whatever parasite has been affecting this team

Yeah, he's not been nearly as sharp as he was last season.

If Bremer mentions our 5-2 start one more time, I'm flying to Minnesota, track him down, and shove one of Hrbek's walleye sandwiches down his throat!

Who are these guys that they keep calling up? Tomas Tellis? Luke Farrell? JT Riddle? Brandon Waddell? Shaun Anderson? I think this is the most frustrating part with the covid stuff and the losing streak. 

 

These guys are bums. Never were's. Never gonna be's. AAAA players.

 

Where is Nick Gordon? Why even have him on the 40 man if you're not going to call him up? Why not try some of the younger arms? Stashak was that bad that Smeltzer is a better option?

Stashak was sent to the minors, so he has to stay there for 10 days (I think). This was done to get a fresh arm in the bullpen. I know there was conversation about lengthening the minimum time a player has to stay in the minors, but I think the number is still ten days. I'm pretty confident when Stashak's required time is up, he will replace someone, probably Smeltzer or Farrell.

 

Bremer just said that all of the members of the taxi squad have been brought up while the Twins were on this road trip. When the team gets home I'm very confident that there will be more roster moves most likely including Kirilloff, especially with the nagging injury to Sanó.

A tie game is one thing, being down 2-1 is a death sentence.

 

Maeda getting ahead of weak hitters at the bottom of the lineup and then giving up hits. Not good.

Why was Oakland playing "Like a Virgin" just now?

It's the walk up song for that guy.

Kenta is broken 

Not pitching great, but 1-1 with a 3.07 ERA coming into today doesn't say "broken". Heck if you're pitching like that on a good team you're 3-0 right now.
