Struggling is putting it nicely.  He is horrible and they need to at least try letting him be Buxton.   He hasn’t stayed off the IL so that experiment needs to end.  I hope he is seeing a sports therapist and put on the IL until he gets mentally healthy.   

A lot of assumptions in there …

Come on Twins, unleash your mighty bats,

We're talking about Jorge Lopez, the RP, not Pablo, the starter, right?

[CRF]

I just heard Cory say something about the Twins putting Lopez on the 15IL with a "mental health" designation. No other info at this time. Something definitely going on with him. Hope he's going to be ok.

It's too soon don't want to be too quick on the trigger. That's how accidents happen. Hopefully in the next few innings the Holy mackerel will be gracious and grant blessings to our ball club.

Sure hope those in charge realize that Morneau , who i do like , is twice the broadcaster when Paired up with guys like Perkins and Plouffe, as when its him and Richard alone, . Justin has never had a Dominating, Personality , and when asked to carry the show, its just not who he is to much Lo-tone and extended thoughts  For me anyway, ,But when with other Players , It Works,  G o Twins

That was my initial thought, but didn’t want speculate. Trevor May was in the IL earlier this season for mental health reasons

Kepler AB's now to positive comments from Dick when he hits foul ball stage.  Sad.

[Robert Floren]

Tonights entree features rib-eye and shrimp.

[Squirrel]

Well, **** … gotta get those runs back. He had him 0-2, too

[CRF]

Louie really needs to get better at keeping the ball in the yard.

Don’t think Varland is going to make it through the inning

[rwilfong86]

 Meh. Early exit for Varland.

Allowed 14 HR I think they just said

Going to lose 3 of 4 to Detroit at home, something different needs to done, because the status quo is not working....

Lolich 376 innings pitched in 1971.  Now with better training, conditioning, nutrition, facilities, everything guys throw 180 and they are celebrated as physical freaks of nature. Its crazy.

See what happens when you cut out the cigarettes and beer.

[Kummel]

More muscle mass and less flexibility seems to result in more injuries.  

[Squirrel]

They really needed him to go 5 .,, not to be

Seems like most are on 0-2 counts or with 2 outs or both.
