Wallner hits left handed pitching at a .249 clip. Garlick hits .250 so Garlick is clearly the best option.

Math.  

[Nine of twelve]

I’ll save everyone the trouble of looking it up:  6’5”, 165 lb. 

[CoastiePilot08]

If you like offense, you’re probably going to be disappointed today. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Wow. One-man bench. Yikes. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Didn’t realize Kepler was batting below .200

Can’t wait for them to move on. 

[PDX Twin]

Gee. Don't you wish it were Buxton, Gallo, and Correa striking out instead of today's lineup?

[mrtwinsfan]

Any insight on why Garlick is up vice Wallner?

Have not seen anything. 

Someone made a point in a thread saying that Larnach will be ready soon and instead of using another call up for Wallner, used Garlick instead. You can only send someone down so many times before risking losing them so for just a couple of games, use Garlick instead.

Wallner and Larnach are both forcing the issue. Can’t keep both of them down unless Kep steps up his game, and significantly.

Hey, that’s one more hit every 1,000 at-bats. Great!

[Parfigliano]

"High blast" doesnt even make the track.

Hitting the ball.  20th century thinking.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Nice working that count Solano.

[RickOShea]

Man, you gotta go after some of those pitches.

[rwilfong86]

Sparse day for base runners

[CoastiePilot08]

Right. Down. The. Middle. 

[rwilfong86]

 8 K's through 4 innings. 😵‍💫

[RickOShea]

Remember in Little League or even T-Ball when your coach would come out during your at bat, to say something to help you or your swing out? Twins needs one of their 3 hitting coaches to try that.

Jeffers should have put that pitch in the seats …. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Come on offense. Let’s get a couple for Joe.
