They could also add him, and not option him back to AAA, would do the same

I think there is also something about use in September as the (now only) 2 extras that doesn't activate the option year, also. So maybe he could stay up the rest of the month and not have used an option year. I'd have to look it all up again to be absolutely sure, especially now that I have Partzheimer's, and only remember parts of things.

Skol

Garlick   wtf    

[h2oface]

If this was Cleveland, they would have stolen second, and had two runners in scoring position. 

[h2oface]

Sanchez is gone after this year. Free agent. Want him?

[AceWrigley]

But it's the Twins, and they leave all runners on to end the inning. Drat.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hate to give up,  but cant handle it anymore,  SKOL Time

[h2oface]

We need to hold and get 3 runs, especially with Lopez probably being called upon.

[tony&rodney]

If Francona had 1st and 3rd with nobody out, infield playing back .... first guy hits ground ball and game is tied or second batter scores run on safety squeeze. These two teams have different philosophies.

[h2oface]

We now probably have the worst bench in the league. Not exaggerating......

And we even get 2 extra right now,

Maybe it just needs a coat of paint

Only if Cole sands it down, first.

OK. This is the inning. These are the guys you want up. These are the guys you have to count on. This is basically a playoff game, and soon facing elimination.

[Kummel]

Tough to watch -- when your team is one run down and it feels like an impossible hill to climb.

[h2oface]

Lopez has no circle of awareness. He keeps not letting his infielders do their job and deflecting the ball and creating hits that were outs. Against the Yankees. And again here.

Slow learner to add to his undesireable behaviors.

[mrtwinsfan]

Lose today and we are 1-9  in last ten games,   not much else to say is there ??????????

[h2oface]

Kwan will steal second

[h2oface]

Lopez. Just what we needed. Wrong choice again by the "pitching gurus."

[h2oface]

Gotta walk Ramirez.....

 

[h2oface]

Time for Lopez to loose his temper again....... 

[notoriousgod71]

Palacios should never see the field again. 

 

He makes nishioka look like a Gold glover.

[glunn]

I am personally forfeiting the rest of this season. Without Buxton, I see no chance of the Twins succeeding. 

[h2oface]

Baldelli had to put the rookie in. Great bench,

no

How many years do we have to have Lopez? Seems he has a bunch of control left.

Bad team, bad results.  Not sure anyone could realistically expect anything else. 23 games left, 8 or 9 wins is all I can see.

[mrtwinsfan]

  Been a fun year only in that the Team kept us in it till Labor day, which compared to last year we were out of it on Memorial day,  Twins need more than a couple players, Need a new Direction on Fundamentals, Speed and Common sense baseball, Yes injuries are part of it , but please make some Changes, Roccos 2019 just wait for Home runs does not work anymore and he seems to not be able to adjust,   will always have Hope, But Reality is REAL !!! 

[h2oface]

Except when the Twins bring in their late inning guys, Morneau, with the exception of Duran. Our late inning guys are almost guaranteed to give up runs.

[William K Johnson]

Biggest at bat of the season and we have Kyle Garlick at the plate.   Wonder how that turned out!!!
