But not while batting, please.

 

Do they even allow mirrors on the field?

If they do, we could shine them in the pitcher’s eyes. Every little bit helps.

Julien has looked completely overmatched outside of the first inning Thursday.

Likely going back down once Farmer or Polo is ready, whichever one is first.

I guess it didn't change the end result that Lemahpew hit a 340ft is only a HR in 1 of 30 ballparks to make it 2-0. Bummer dude.

Virtual certainty now (Polanco, with Farmer IMO still weeks away).  Meanwhile I'd expect Gordon, .100 BA and all, to start at 2B Tuesday versus Boston, assuming it's Kluber's turn in their rotation.

I think the front office needs to look in the mirror and assess the offense they assembled.

Prolly, unless the magic mirror first works some magic on the players.

If Kepler is flailing away for a couple more weeks they should just put him on waivers and hope someone claims him and his salary. Enough is enough.

He definitely needs more time in AAA.

I've been a Kepler supporter but it's time to move on. He can't hit anymore. They've got too many good outfielders in the system for Kepler to keep grounding weakly to 2nd.

He is doing no worse than Buxton, Correa, Larnach and Miranda, only he is at least hitting the ball not wiffing at bat, after at bat, after at bat.

In two weeks, then one can, same with the young rookies, make  remarks out of reality not dislike or frustration about who has a serious problem.

If Twins go back to their winning ways, player flailing could still be an option with the current manager.

Kepler is, in fact, doing much worse than all four of them.

Give me the numbers, where Keplers 6 whole games back that statement up.
