Larnach moved down to 8th, Gordon in center.

No regular tv today?

Buonasera from Florence, Italy. Haven’t watched a second of Twins baseball in the last week, but I’ll be back in the motherland in mid May to watch them again.

Nope. I tried giving my TV a laxative, but it just gave up reality shows. Must be the writer’s strike.

Larnach optioned to AAA, and Kirilloff called up, so I'd assume the lineup is different.

[PseudoSABR]

How replaces Caleb?

Buonasera Castle? Never heard of it but it looks beautiful.

Dereck Rodríguez.  Horrible contact picture for AK too.

Apple TV? What is with this crap? Heads up. Apparently you can go on Best Buy and add a 3 month free Apple TV Plus subscription to your cart and just check out. I did this and will let you know if it works.

I already pay for MLB.tv; this is whack. Sigh.

That's a pretty bold assumption, chpettit!

[stringer bell]

Donnie Barrels gets another start against a right hander and plays first base. Yea. 

[wsnydes]

Lineup updated after Larnach sent down.

Can someone please show "Donnie Barrels" where the barrel is?

You'll have to let me know if you see Enzio around while you're in Florence!

Same here, WTF man!?!?! 

I can see them pulling this on a Wednesday afternoon get-away-day game, but on a Friday night broadcast? That's just evil.

Maybe he just needs to breathe from the other eyelid?

I like to live a bold life and give hot takes!

Does anybody know if Kirilloff is at the ballpark and available? I'd hope so otherwise I don't know why they wouldn't wait til tomorrow to send Larnach packing.

[bighat]

On another note, thrilled to see the Twins send Larnach down and bring up Kirilloff. Trevor was in a world of hurt, he's shown flashes but honestly I think many of us see the writing on the wall. His been given chances that guys like Mark Contreras could only dream of getting, and at this point you have to think he may only get one more serious audition before he becomes the dreaded "organizational depth". 

Pulling hard for AK on his return.

apple tv

[wabene]

Easy peasy. Went to Best Buy, added Apple TV Plus to my cart, checked out, opened an email that arrived, and basically signed in with an Apple ID I apparently had and am now watching the pre-game show.

The Saints are in the middle of a home stand so I don't see a reason why not, unless traffic on I-94 is bad.

I buy MLB.tv and now there's a hoop to jump through?  I may be on a wildcat strike tonight.

[CoastiePilot08]

Why is Solano starting against a RHP if AK is on the team now?
