Whatever happened to Karinchek?

Hasn't pitched this season. He is currently on a rehab assignment. 

[RpR]

Kwan has the throwing arm Twins rookie fielders are lacking.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I don't know.

 

Larnach has been known to make a throw... from time to time.

I think there are 2 out.

[bighat]

Bux seems to be a bad pinch hitter. He really presses in these type of ABs when he's coming in cold off the bench.

[stringer bell]

Both left fielders are 3-4, but our guy has a double and homer.

Now there are 3 out.

 

I had hoped he could beat the throw.

 

But perhaps that was asking too much.

[tony&rodney]

These two teams are really close and play fun baseball. There are the usual mistakes but tons of tough pitches and some good solid baseball.

He has not had much success.

 

But here's to hoping he can learn.

 

Wouldn't it be something on his days off to be able to insert him like an inverse closer?

As per usual, an interesting lineup. That said, one thing about this year's team is that they have major leaguers across the board. It wouldn't surprise me if the Twins tallied five or more runs tonight. Run suppression on the other hand, well Dylan Bundy and the bullpen will have to convince me that they can hold Cleveland to four or less runs.

BTW, the betting on this game is even, but ESPN gives the home team a 62 percent chance of winning. What do they know?

What do they know? Buxton and CC are riding pine tonight.

If Duran gets through the ninth, who pitches the 10th?
