No dont think we will,   But Rocco has Farmer starting at s.s.  tonight,   can anyone in any world tell me that is the best option ?   Lee at this point is twice the Player Kyle is, remember b4 the year all the depth we thought we had at S.S.  C.C.- ROYCE- CASTRO- LEE,  Comical how he figures out line-ups  GO TWINS

Lee is an absolute lousy fielder.

Usual suspects not in the lineup--Lee and Castro--as well as Margot's presumed replacement (Helman). I am wondering about injury issues with Lee, just off the IL and he was on the bench on Thursday and perhaps for Castro who corralled a sinking liner by blocking it with his uhh midsection the other day. Besides that, Willi has really struggled as a right handed hitter. Rocco would rather have Wallner and Larnach in the lineup than Helman versus a lefty?

Castro had to get a day or two off. He's hitting under .200 for the last month, under .100 for the two weeks. I hope he's out for 2 of these 3 games. He's gassed. Lee hasn't looked great in the field, either. 

I am glad to see Wallner and Larnach get some run in the corners against LH pitching. I would like to see Helman get some ABS but it's more important for us to see if Wallner and Larnach can be every day players.  Those 2 are the starting corner OFs in 2025, Helman maybe a 5th OF or utility guy.

Have to agree. Lee hasn't really shown that he can handle SS at an MLB level. He's also not really hitting. I'm not a big fan of Farmer but we may be seeing a Farmer/Castro platoon at SS for awhile. especially since Castro can't hit water if he fell out of a boat RH.

Comical in a tragic sense.

People have decided Lee isn't good after how many games? People think Farmer is better? That he'll get to balls? Speechless. Truly..

Does seem like a two inning role is his best fit.

I'd take Lee at SS over Farmer.. What about Martin though? Looks like he was going to be a SS during the minors,

It's fine with me.

I think they're on Fox tomorrow, but I could be wrong...

Actually never mind, looks like when he got to AAA they decided SS wasn't for him 🤔

I have sacrificed my principles and accepted a 2 month free trial of AppleTV.

I feel dirty.

But I'll be able to watch tonight's game. 

 

...

 

And the new Vince Vaughn show.

 

But I won't enjoy it.

So much great tv on Apple....

Probably the highest quality of the streamers.

Yes, he will need to some neck pain relief from having to snap that head around so much. Time off good, maybe 1 out relief.

Nothing quite says contender like "batting 5th, Kyle Farmer."

[exeoud]

Farmer batting 5th has to be a joke, right?

Nope. It’s like an abusive relationship we can’t get out of in watching Farmer batting 5th. Rally killer

Nice start, Zebulon.

Farmer, Martin, Vasquez 5/6/7 is brutal. If you're gonna throw a game Rocco, might want to do it against a non-divisional opponent who we're not fighting for playoff seeding.
