I won't be able to participate in the game thread tonight, so I'm leaving it up to everyone else to see that we get a win. Go Twins!

[MABB1959]

Okay, time for Lopez to show us what we got for Arraez!

[Craig Arko]

Nice to see Lewis is back in.

[USAFChief]

I'd like to see Siri wear one in the ribs.

Maybe use an opener if Pablo Lopez struggles to get through the first inning.

[Winston Smith]

Kepler got a hit he'll be in the lineup for another couple weeks.

[Marcos]

That’s a beautiful look at pitch right down the middle.

So... to extrapolate, he'll get a hit in each of the next 14 odd games? I can live with that.

What a inspirational at bat  by the #3  hitter again,IDK whats gonna happen 1st, either Correa gets going ? or Rocco moves him to at least 5-6 ,  Who runs this team ?  Just seems like different people in charge every game , 

[umterp23]

Correa must have included a clause in his contract that he bats 2nd or 3rd no matter how bad he sucks

[Mortimerkenny21]

Nice work getting out of that jam!

He supposedly is the big bat i the lineup for this team.  With that being said, do you remember other  big bats who were struggling, who were moved to the bottom of the lineup?  I don't remember Killebrew batting 8th, or Reggie Jackson batting 9 for the A's.

Definitely nice work.  What a different game Rays play when you have guys in the lineup that know how to hit and run and put pressure on opposing teams defense.  

 

[USAFChief]

The word you're looking for is "periphery," Trevor. 

Not "peripheral."

Myself i would lose all respect for any Team to allow a player to Dictate a managers job,  Its turned into what Politics now  is, Only tell the folks what they need to know,   lets hope it gets better!!

[USAFChief]

The smugness of Siri is infuriating.

Said 5-6 , and thats just to show whos in charge, w/o hurting the players feelings,  

[RickOShea]

Bremer says he gets calls from Carew.  The only way that happens is if Carew butt dials him.

[RickOShea]

Bremer revels in playing the town oaf,

[Fornasiere-ite]

I can't stand the K-zone or whatever its called not working. Forgot what it was like watching a game without it

 

[RickOShea]

Even TB's ballboy outfields our third baseman.
