Game Thread: Twins (Ryan) v Angels (Detmers), 5/19 @ 8:38pm

[Squirrel]

Even though I don't work in the morning, I still might miss this ... I'm old and it's late ... but GO TWINS!

 

 

 

[Squirrel]

Well, hmmmmm ... no Gallo or Polanco (any updates there?) and no Kirilloff. The rest of them better get it done for Joe, but for some reason, the Twins have been pretty good at giving him run support. I know ... it's a lefty ... 

[stringer bell]

I guess we don’t know about availability for those not starting. Frustrating to have players unavailable, but still on the roster. 

[stringer bell]

BTW, game time is 8:38 Central.

Trout had a day off in Cleveland, too. 

[D.C Twins]

Just my daily check in to see if Buck has been released into CF yet, but nope, sanity has not won out yet....

Lol .., you went from not knowing the availability to players being unavailable …

Not fair! I’m asking about availability and stating that it is frustrating if players are unavailable but on the active roster.

Julien replaced in the fourth inning of St. Paul’s game. Plane to catch?

If I’m going to bat only one lefty, Larnach is NOT my first or second choice.

Kirilloff (about 5th), Gallo (about 7th) before Larnach at any spot. But I suppose both Larnach and Gallo currently have health concerns that Larnach doesn’t.

Hope it is a Plane instead of Injury

Interesting. And I hate it if that's the case and he's not already in LA. That'd be the 2nd time they've decided to make a move right before a game, and forced themselves to play a man short. If Julien really is on his way to LA because (I assume) Polanco or Gallo are going to hit the IL they needed to make that decisions at the latest by this morning and had Julien in uniform tonight. Self inflicted wound if they're playing a man short when they're about to IL somebody.

I think that is what it is. It appears that Polanco is questionable to play for several days. BTW, Gallo is okay. Rocco said that he doesn’t experience pain like normal humans (paraphrased)

Fwiw, it hurts more against a right-handed starter where we have decent left handed bats as an alternative at DH. Against lefties, it’s not like we have an extra dangerous right handed bat to DH if Buxton was to go to center (Rocco has Jeffers but won’t use him with only 2 guys that can catch active.)
