Twins need to take care of business tonight. Have to bank wins against the Reds and Marlins. 

Yup.  Beat the weaklings up.

If/when Kepler comes back he should only be in a D replacement role.

So my memory is wrong. Again. This getting old isn't for sissys.

Cincinnati is no pushover. 

They're only 6 games under .500 and have actually scored 15 more runs than they're allowed. 

Tonight's starter, however, is about as easy an opponent as you'll get in the big leagues. 

[USAFChief]

KC up 6-0 top 2 in Pittsburgh.

Also, the Red Sox are giving the Yankees fits tonight 

 

[CRF]

He is #6!

Should we send Mathews down or put him in the bullpen and call Corey Lewis up?

No time.  They have the rookies sandwiching Pablo for maximum bullpen availability.   It's two rotation turns remaining and it's all setup as well as possible.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So the Detroit Tigers run out a opener/primary, and have a perfecto going against the O’s through six.

I don’t have Tigers Perfect Game on my 2024 Bingo card, but I do have ‘Twins finish 4th place in the Central’ on a corner square, so curious to see how this all turns out

…. not that I’m cheering for that. but who knew it might be an outside possibility heading into the final two weeks.

 

 

[Parfigliano]

These uni's are hideously ugly

[Shaitan]

Since we're normally questioning the Twins' conditioning, I'd just like to say second half Ober 2024 is much better than second half Ober 2023.

[Parfigliano]

Nice D Lewis

[USAFChief]

That was pretty nifty.

And they're out of SP arms. I think the logic is Zebby can give you so-so 3IP. It's possibly more than Dobnak or Boushley or whatever is left. Then essentially have bullpen games.

I thought they might give old friend Rich Hill another shot. Which I think would be about the same level of effectiveness.

Umm, offense is great and those two can help there. But always, it’s good old fashion solid pitching and D that matters. Defense could improve, but the pitching….? 🤢

[karcherd]

Nice play by Lewis.  One example of why you keep him there, let him get comfortable and he will make more plays like that.

[Parfigliano]

Steer has 86 RBI.  Does TC have anyone with 66?

[mrmpls]

Bailey,  yes it happened ,   hold it at 1 for awhile

Santana 63, Jeffers 61 lead the Twins.

Only one other with as many as 50.

[USAFChief]

Larnach lucky to beat that out...jogged out of the box.

[Parfigliano]

Does Larnach hit balls that arent 100+ off the bat

[RpR]

Larnach chugging down the line, fortune was on his side as he is slow.

[mrmpls]

Slow down Larnach,   Geez

Larnach vs Miranda 30 yd dash for charity.

[USAFChief]

This no talent nobody isn't really gonna shut down this offense, is he?
