Wondering if Buxton got sick from the heat.

I think they’ve only won one game in their last nine and the Twins have gained no ground on them.  Awesome job fellas 

Guards lost to KC in game 1. Clase choke. Some of these trade prospects might be feeling the pressure.

Alex Call is from Burnsville . . . so.

He's evil? Pure and simple from the 8th dimension?

Still better than the putrid level that Matt Wallner is hitting at. Why is Wallner getting a free pass from the front office. Two other Twins were demoted for the at bat's Wallner is having. 

[OvertheHill]

Wallner’s at bats just aren’t even “competitive “ most of time. Tonight: strikes out 3 pitches, 2 pop outs in the infield. Sure, occasionally connects but is apparently only looking for one thing. If that one pitch in that one location isn’t there, he’s completely neutralized. 
Why does this kind of stuff continue to happen with this team?

But as has been noted on this board before, Gallo had a run as a decent all around player before the version we got on the Twins. But agreed, got to be able to drive guys in. 

Joey's glove as was as good as Wallner's is not good.

[thelanges5]

Getting blown out at home by the Nationals. With Abrams and Woods a combined one for seven. Great effort, Twins!

Agreed Wallner is slow and plays putrid defense. Wallner deserves to be demoted to St Paul. Not sure what is keeping him with the Twins. Just not having competitive at bats right now. Larnach isn't doing much either. When is Keaschall coming back or when will Martin get a chance? 

[Patzky]

Trevor.. been a few days I guess.

[OvertheHill]

I really miss the Nelson Cruz days. When you put a guy in the DH position in the batting order because, you know, he was a decent hitter.

Thats really the $64000 question.

Why can't the Twins develop major league hitters?

[RpR]

Twins Texas Leaguer hit, wait, another rare occurrence.

Time to check the GIDP leaderboard…

[Patzky]

That out by Correa will prompt Rocco to invoke the Atom Ball Reason in the post game presser

[h2oface]

Correa's power is gone. 

[Patzky]

The Funder rolls. The lightning is sure to strike.

Enquiring minds want to know.

We need Wallner. Let him play every day for the rest of the season. 

This team isn't going anywhere. Lets try to figure out next year or the year after.

....but, but, but...... exit velocity!

Putrid. Derived from the name of the mythical creature Putrificus, known to be full of brown stuff and probably responsible for the birth of advertising.

[The Great Hambino]

That wasn't Bader's finest moment

Yep. He’s broken this year. The only thing he can provide consistently is defense. Hopefully there’s some sort of surgery or recovery to resurrect his career like Buxton.

 Yep, as West Sacramento Athletics NIck Kurtz just had a 4 home run game

Can't evaluate the " talent".  Can't coach.

[h2oface]

Good to see Funderburk back, eh, Span? 

Right. It just means we really suck and are throwing in the towel.

[AceWrigley]

Screwed by the shift on that one.
