Wallner ...

When the going gets tough , wallner makes it tougher , he is definitely no making adjustments on how the pitchers are pitching him ...

I can see a scenario where Wallner gets sent down to St. Paul when Keaschall comes back.

I can see a Julien scenario before that time

I think that may depend more on what they do with France.  If France is traded or released to try to sign on with a contending team, they may bring up Julien as well to play 2B and have Clemens play 1B.  Otherwise, if you send Wallner down, Clemens is likely seeing more time in RF.

[Patzky]

It's mentally exhausting to wait for this inning to end 

[Bracky]

At this point I have more faith in Clemens to perform compared the Wallner and Castro.

I don't necessity want to fall in love with Clemens as to keep him on the roster at the expense of a prospect.  But if he is willing to sign a $1M-ish 1-yr contract for next year, I definitely would keep him on the roster past this year.

EDIT:  Maybe he can be the answer at 1B while we wait for a more permanent solution.

EDIT #2:  If I would have done 1 minute of research, I would have realized that he's a Pre-Arb player that may attain Super 2 status in the offseason so he will be with the Twins as long as they don't release him.

Buck just isn't gonna stop hitting. Hope the HR festivities don't mess up his sweet work at the plate.

[Blyleven2011]

Buxton should have 1 more at bat for the cycle  ...

Go buck ...

Mariners all over Detroit again today.

I've seen alot of players regress after a Allstars appearance  , I to hope the derby doesn't mess with the swing  ...

[Patzky]

Wallner has to make the decision tougher.. of course 91 mph middle FB

 

 

[tony&rodney]

Does Pittsburgh have an interest in Wallner? That line drive bomb might have piqued their interest.

[Blyleven2011]

Wallners homerun still doesn't impress me , his lack of contact is disturbing  ...

He's not  being productive  , 10 homers and what , less than 20 rbi's ...

Not gonna happen. When Waller hits one they leave in a hurry.

[Patzky]

Cmon Misiewicz. These AAA guys awful finicky with throwing strikes with a huge lead.

[thelanges5]

Mitch Keller tomorrow. Twins should put a package together for him.

He's good at hitting solo homers and not much else worthwhile.

So we're going to keep him up just to wait for an occasional solo homer?  I think not!

Exactly.  When the ball finally finds his bat in his swing wheelhouse, he can hit something.  Otherwise, he can't hit a beach ball.

Just read that our recent old friend Joey Wentz was picked up by the Braves.

I see he pitched today. 3 innings, no hits, no runs, one walk, six strikeouts.

[Blyleven2011]

Some insurance would be nice , topa coming in for eighth  ....

Is a 10 -3 lead enough ???

Go figure.

Buxton does it ... cycle

[mrtwinsfan]

Buck !

[The Great Hambino]

I guess this means the hand is feeling good

[Blyleven2011]

What a day for buxton , 5 for 5 , hits for the cycle  , reminiscent of a Kirby pucket ...

[MMMordabito]

That is awesome! He's so locked.
