I'd hope the same tomorrow...either Gallo is in the lineup or on the IL.

I don't think it is nearly as easy of a call. First of all, the only position player not on the 40-man is Julien and the position opening is first base. Julien hasn't played first base much and not at all in the last two years or in spring training. I doubt he will be an asset in the field, maybe not even passable. If Buxton is locked in at DH, there really isn't a convenient place for Julien to play. 

I'm not keen on seeing Solano be an everyday first baseman, but unless the team moves a lot of people around, Gallo makes the most sense there unless he's going to be out another week.

[Parfigliano]

Im going to enjoy Garcia not being to be able to rock back and forth and side to side in his delivery.  I think its really going to effect him.

Gallo is day to day.

Hanging out at the computer today. Just 10 days left to complete my father-in-law's taxes.*

Life is good either way … it’s just a game. No more bugged by that than getting sent to jail in Monopoly 🙂

Still good to get doubles rather than pay $50 in monopoly money...

For injury? Mostly true. You have any evidence anyone did anything wrong?

Not for the injury, for the communication or lack there of. One click off from the hockey upper body injury.  I can live with that as long they keep them coming back healthy.

Abreu with the strikeout not looking.*

I'd say the position open is "LH hitter." 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hey, we aren't behind yet.

 

I approve.

What would change for you, or any fan, if they changed communication?

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Is Dick Bremer OK? I hope so. He is a good man and a good announcer. I enjoy watching games with him.

[Parfigliano]

Ryan K's the side. Swinging, looking, and timer.  Pitchers cycle.

For sure!  Look at today's lineup against the RHP

[twins_89]

That was some impressive control for Ryan over the first 2 innings. He's thrown 74% of his pitches for strikes with most of them located on the edges.

Is there any pastry discussion today?

 

I saw a picture of a wedding cake what was taller than it was wide earlier today...

That's not ...........right.

3-0.

 

Not bad.

[IndianaTwin]

[Dave Borton]

I think Farmer wants to file his taxes in Minnesota.

Yeah... Singular noun, plural verb form.

 

Either Donut thinks or donuts think.

 

Smart donuts are the future.

Bud lives in Houston. I saw one Houston game last year and asked him, "Who is that RockABaby pitcher? He is driving me nuts!"

[Brock Beauchamp]

I bought myself a Correa home white jersey, need to manufacture a reason to buy the TC cream jersey now.

Maybe for my wife? I think I could sell that move.

[RickOShea]

Call a priest, correa needs an exorcism.
