Kepler would NEVER have done that last season!

When Sanchez fights it he really fights it

So if the Twins steal a game  while sitting Correa and Buxton, I guess you could say it’s a brilliant move.  I’m not sure it’s a good idea to sit a player who’s red hot though.

So if I get hammered, drive home without death or destruction, I guess you could say it's a brilliant move.

Man, Celestino hitting nearly .300 w RISP is just wild

Would that be considered “road management”?

[USAFChief]

Thats...suboptimal.

Yeah, but if it means you're rested and ready for a good drive tomorrow, I'm sure the nice police officer tonight will understand.

Duran can’t get anybody out anymore

Just because of his full name

Deserves a haiku.

Meh, he was due for a stinker. Let’s hope he got it out of his system against the Yankees. One person who absolutely cannot fall back to earth is Duran, though. Would be catastrophic

Yes

[USAFChief]

I'd kill for a 6-4-3 right now.

Riddle me this, caped crusader: now who gets the ninth?

How the hell does Ramirez get the bat on that high fb?

I’m assuming him If he doesn’t throw a bunch of pitches here. Unfortunate we have to keep asking one guy to get two innings. Otherwise you might see pagan or jax

[USAFChief]

Gordon just cannot be your SS.

Arraez adding power?

Opposing pitchers' scary thought

Could use a third line...

[Aggies7]

If Duran is NOT in the plans for the 9th inning, you’d have to wonder why they’d bring him in for the 8th to face 5-7

[ashbury]

Nor center fielder.

Not enough bat for corner.

So, now what, Rocco?

[LVTwinsfan]

For a second there I thought Kepler would let that one drop

Concur.  Pagan and Jax both pitched yesterday, reducing the chances they bring them in (or that they would be better).

If they bring in Duffey, watch me lose my ****.  Along with everyone else, presumably.
