Fair enough, I'd take Pham over Margot for left and pinch-hitting. 

I personally would rather see Wallner out there every day regardless of who is pitching.

That is what I said none of them do, I was including Margot.

Yep, big difference between really playing a position versus standing at a position.

I don't fully trust my memory, but doesn't Pham have a reputation of being a club house cancer?

[Brandon]

At least Cleveland and KC both lost or are losing today at this time.

Yep, and add it to the 3-4 losses because of managerial screw ups and here late in the season….. a team finds itself outside looking in. Pffffffttttt

[gregens]

Nice catch by Wagner, someone tell him not to do that anymore against the Twins.

Yeah, he slapped a teammate over fantasy football and has the clubhouse cancer rep. He also gave up an AB in the World Series so a teammate who was also a journeyman and never had a WS AB could have one. Likely the rep has a reason but is more nuanced in reality

[Patzky]

Schneider won't live that one down

Thanks for the info.   I kind of feel like a hypocrite about what I'm going to write, but a player would need to be an amazing talent for me to want the Twins to have a player totally lacking in personal integrity.

Red Sox are 3-7 in their last 10. Cleveland is 4-6 in their last 10, and KC is 5-5 in their last 10. The Twins still hold a 4 game lead on the Sox, and are still 3.5 back on Cleveland.

[gregens]

Position players pitching is not very fun to watch.   It doesn't seem major league to me.

Fat thumbs, and inadequate editorial oversight on my behalf. And of course it has been quoted so it doesn't matter that i fixed it eventually, but at least my reason for edit is longer than my original post. Mission Accomplished.

They'd still fall 1 run short.

All of that suggests that if TC hadn’t played like crap lately…..they would likely be in a much better position, thus my post is not wrong?

Book it!

[gregens]

Well I guess the Twins lost another close one.  But, I'm hoping Ober pitches like 2024 Ober tomorrow.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Thank god, it’s over!

I'm at the game... Feeling kinda embarrassed....there seems to be more Toronto fans than Twins fans here. 😒

I hope you go to multiple games per year so that you don't experience this for your 1 game of the year.

Predict Louie comes up tomorrow along with Buck getting activated? Maybe Kiersey otherwise

I'll predict Varland and Lee.

[thelanges5]

Okert for St. Paul tonight. 

Okert - .1 inning, 4 hits, 2 walks. 3 earned runs

Varland back up tomorrow  

Lee was out of the lineup so maybe in his way back to Mpls. 

Margot going for MRI on his groin - maybe Keirsey?

Yah, buck stubbed his toe tripping on  candy wrapper. Will need 2 weeks to recuperate. It’s all good.
