Jeffers should be 1a I think, and Vazquez 1b.

For being the size of a 1980 NFL offensive tackle, Gallo runs well.

[stringer bell]

Slightly bigger version of Bob Allison. 

[USAFChief]

Double digit runs.

 

See, all we needed was to move Buxton out of the DH spot.

[Parfigliano]

Throw strikes

Us old timers all remember the Hype for Sano and Buxton,  Would like to see Alex and Royce become the face of this team for 5-6 years, Talent is there,  Just need some Luck with Injuries,

48 pitches, 5 walks…

Trying to figure out what's wrong with Sands. Seems to be centered at the set, but I notice he puts his hand in the glove at waist level. This causes him to do a down-to-up arm loop for his delivery. If Sands put his hands together at chest level, just at the bottom of the Twins logo, then he could keep his delivery a bit more elevated, maybe get a more direct delivery. 

[Parfigliano]

Does Sands not want to be on the MLB club?  Throw strikes.

[stringer bell]

Sands can’t be winning friends in the dugout with this performance. Very similar to his outing in another blowout. 

[Schmoeman5]

How does a relief pitcher walk 5 batters in 2 innings and still have a job? Yeah it's 11-1 but that's about as low keverage as it gets

[Parfigliano]

Winner winner baby backs on the smoker dinner.

[LewFordLives]

Winning is so much more fun than losing.

[Nine of twelve]

Happiness. This is how I think every game should go. That's not too unreasonable, is it?

[MMMordabito]

Sands helped his ERA.

I like Solano or any bench players getting some at bats but Kirilloff needs to see left handers too. So, a little conflicted but no big deal. I just don't see Solano on the team after the All Star break.

It is a big deal,  these are the situations we want the Younger talent , How can Rocco ??  , ill get warned if i put in writing ,  Oh well Good game Team!!!

In a blowout game, no, it’s not a big deal. Solano is going to be gone soon. We all talk ‘if Kirilloff stays healthy …’, then so be it. While I would have liked to see Kirilloff get another at bat, it’s really not an offensive move.

I like afternoon games because the DQ is still open … time for a winner Blizzard!
