Not enamored with what they got back for Polanco. I think the 2024 team is better with Polanco than it is with Kepler and that would've been my motivation. But, admittedly, there were different motivations (financial) at play...

Not disagreeing at all....I just don't think you would've gotten anything more than a Juggs machine for Kepler.....

That should give Jeffer impetus for a while.

Thankfully there’s a pill for that nowadays

Good for Jeffers!

Man....that smile on his face as he rounded first was a look of pure joy/relief.......can't imagine what he's been going through.

Perfect timing.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Please someone explain to me why Stewart in the 7th???  Who's our 8th inning guy if Jax is closing?  I just don't understand Rocco's moves.....

We're going to need you to stay at the bar, even if it means missing your flight.

Uh. No. Love you all, but no

[stringer bell]

Nothing but heat so far from Stewart.

I like this one actually. It would be deflating if the Twins let the Brewers back in the game after last inning.

[jkcarew]

I’m reminded…

2-out 3-run homers are good.

I think he'll go with the lefty for the eighth, if the score stands.

But you've got 8-9-1 coming up for the Brewers and you still have to get 9 outs.....not seeing the rationale to bring in your quasi-closer in the 7th????

Every other half inning.

[USAFChief]

Nasty 2-2 pitch from Stewart to finally end that AB. 

[Robert Floren]

why so dark and shadowy at Milwaukee stadium?

Two reasons. One, if it had been a quick inning, Stewart could have gone out for a second inning. Two, the Twins have a chance to put this one out of reach if the bats stay hot in the 8th.

Can't let Milwaukee catch back up this half inning.

[USAFChief]

I've decided to take up meditation. It's better than sitting on my *** doing nothing.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I dislike Rocco (obviously) but I'm not going to freak out over Stewart coming in for the 7th.

[Aggies7]

Funderburk for the 8th or Jax ?

*forgot Okert

[RpR]

Correa may get a gold glove.

[UpstateNewYorker]

Great catch.

[USAFChief]

That catch from Correa is why I'm not a major league shortstop.

...

Well, It's ONE reason I'm not a major league shortstop.

Probably saving Okert for Yelich

Stud...no other way to describe him. When healthy, no one I'd rather have at shortstop. 

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Wow....what a freaking play by Correa.....played a ton of 1st Base in my life and that type of catch running away from the infield is so difficult.....
