So today is not the day Margot finally gets a pinch hit...

Peter, I’ve lived in Chicago for more than 24 yrs now, 21 of those downtown. It’s fine. Of course, I’m the one committing all the crimes, so I’m good

Hopefully Festa can go 5+ innings tonight.

Hopefully the Twins keep winning; as much as people here dissed Chicago, the Twins against the Mets looked a LOT like Chicago for 2 games.

The Cubs are not the same caliber team the Mets are. Still, gotta play good to win, so hoping for the best.

Do the Twins send Dobber back to St. Paul and call up a fresh arm for tonight? Ideally, you have someone that can go 2 innings (or so) as a bridge from Festa.

He faced 5 hitters yesterday and threw 25 pitches. As a starter, that's nothing. Not sure how the Twins plan to use him, but I'd think Dobnak would be available if they wanted him to pitch again.

We are going to need a starter for the double header. Are thy going to keep Dobnak for that day?

Dunno about that. He's been a starter and completely unfamiliar with pitching on back-to-back days.

But I doubt the Twins care about usage. He's not going to be around long.

That lineup is not close our best, but  . . . still is not terrible. As compared to yesterday's lineup, we're replacing Vazquez, Miranda and Buxton with Jeffers, Santana and Margot.  Which is marginally worse but not falling off a cliff or anything.  It's a testament to the team's depth.

Still, I'd sure like to see Castro-Miranda-Correa-Lewis-Buxton-Kepler-Santana-Wallnach-Jeffers sometime.

Wallnach's my favorite.

 

(Sorry, i couldn't help myself. Larnach and Wallner fused in a transport accident, i imagine. Take up two roster spots... super two in arbitration (is that still a thing with the newer agreement?))

Bummer for Okert! I hope he and his family are ok.

Agree, I always feel bad about a family going through the grieving process.

Winder up? That's not a name I thought I'd see in MN again.

Just because he's called up doesn't mean you'll see him.

Like Falvine, but on the 40 man roster
