Schoop, Grossman and Baddoo are killing the Twins!   They are ex-twin players.   They must have grudges against Twins for letting them go.

So Barnes goes 4.2 and gives up 1 in his first career start... and Maeda has already given up 3 by the 2nd inning. Maeda has been beyond disappointing... and I would be open to giving Barnes more chances, even if he looked only decent against a middling lineup.

I can't get upset losing to the Tigers after sweeping them in a 4 game series, but they could really start a calamitous fall if they fail to get things done this weekend and then get pounded to dust by the White Sox in another 4 game series.

I doubt that Baddoo has any grudges. He went from being 7 or 8 on the OF depth earning peanuts to being on MLB roster making MLB minimum with all the benefits of being in the majors.

Corey and Dan are talking about Caves return. If he takes any ABs from Larnach or Kiriloff I will have a stroke.

I think he will probably take Celestino's and Gordon's OF ABs, but I think he will certainly be behind Kirilloff and Larnach in the pecking order.

Please don't have a stroke.

 

Unless of course you're talking about golf, although even then they are undseired...

Donaldson is the last guy you want up in RISP situations... his OPS drops by over 200 points and he simply chokes when we need him to come through. ?

Proven correct again tonight. Sigh…

Freebie there. Baddoo was right. Maeda "walk" in the second was a strike, and touched the zone, and he didn't get the call, and there would have been three outs and Baddoo never would have come to the plate.

Two close wrong calls have totally affected the game tonight. 

Until Rogers can't come through anyway.

Too easy. Tie game. 

We really deserved our run..... and that strikeout, though, eh?
