Phillies (Wheeler) v Twins (Woods-Richardson); 7/23 @ 6:40pm CT

[CRF]

Really can't ask for more than SWR is giving us tonight. He's been very solid. It's going to the pen pretty soon, and hopefully we can somehow get a run or two across the plate.

Couple hard hit balls and almost 90 pitches. I'd say well done and call it a day.

To be fair I said I’m afraid to believe (in any young guy showing promise). As a MN sports fan I know better

Ever since I was very high and then disappointed in Kennys Vargas and Danny Santana when they were first called up, I try not to get my hopes up too high about rookie honeymoon periods.

[Aggies7]

SWR missed a few spots that last inning. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him out

Seems they are protecting him this year, next year for sure he gets another inning.

[Aggies7]

Old fashioned pitcher’s duel

Old fashioned SWR still in the game

Another Castro brain fart at short.  But let's just keep the youngster at 3rd.

[Aggies7]

Man Castro is so bad at short lol

[Parfigliano]

Willi throw only 12 ft wide off target

It's been long enough that I find the Danny Santana story more uplifting than frustrating. He was really fun that year.

[Peter]

Let’s get some runs and win this!!! Go twins!!!

[mnfireman]

Castro at 3B and Lee at SS is better defense, Lee is learning 3B at the MLB level and Castro is more suited for 3B, but it's Rocco's team...

[TwinsCD]

3 straight backwards K's for Julien.  That would be an automatic return to the minors for me.  He's not ready for this level this season.

[Parfigliano]

WTF Julien

You should probably do most prospect evaluation when you are sober.

I’m usually high while evaluating our talent as well 😂

[wabene]

Wallner just needs to swap the 9.0 driver for the 10.5

3 ab… 3 looking kos. He is garbage. To the bin good sir

[mnfireman]

I was prepared for Lee to be sent back to AAA with Miranda and Lewis starting rehab assignments given his recent struggles, but Julien continuing to not swing and get called out on strike 3 is my bet to go back to AAA. What a waste of talent.

[wabene]

I thought Wheeler was on some kinda pitch count?

He’s up to 106 at the moment 😉

Yeah. The source was Phillies Daily 

[mnfireman]

So much for Wheeler going 80 - 85 pitches tonight... 107 and 7 shut out innings.

 

[Aggies7]

A home run is going to win this game. Let’s hope it’s us

Yea Lee hasn’t been lighting it up but at least has a chance and can play a couple positions.

That's what I read.

Apparently Phillies Daily isn't to be trusted in all cases, unlike Twins Daily.
