Give Keaschall a real chance to develop.  Fire Rocco.

Wallner with his OPS over 800, and his wrc+ over 120.....are people still saying he sucks? Like, really?

[Mike Sixel]

If Gasper is never going to catch, how the bleep is he on this roster at this point?

Good Q

[Mike Sixel]

I'd hoped that Martin would OPS around 725 or so in this audition, and play better D and steal a base or ten.....so far, not so much (TINY sample size alert).

It’s amazing what power does for the old OPS. Doesn’t take long at all for a guy like Wallner to right the ship when he finds his stroke.

[Fatbat]

So much for stashing LK in AAA and developing him correctly. Lets just let Rocco wreck him while watching him hit DONGs. 🤣

[Patzky]

Zebby using up a lot of pitches in the early going.

[SS MagicMark]

Can the offense stake us to a bullpen proof lead?

I think there’s probably no such thing as a bullpen proof lead currently.

During one of the recent games, the announcer said his glove has improved as the told him he has to get his lard butt moving faster to make a play, and are helping him do so.

[Mike Sixel]

Way too many pitches.....

I should have bet on Detroit, then the Twins would win.

[Parfigliano]

E-8

[Vanimal46]

Martin come on man that hit you right in the glove

Same reason Julien is up, because they can.

[David HK]

For God's sake.

Clank.

Most Twins way to give up an unecessary run.

Sigh. I love how mlb.cm gives me replays of popouts, but not those....good thing they had Martin at SS because "you can always move down the spectrum" or some such BS.

[Parfigliano]

Hit my @ss

[USAFChief]

Yeah I dont understand where this idea comes from that Martin can play OF. He was awful before.

[notoriousgod71]

Hit lol.

[jkcarew]

Nice visit by Vasquez…”you’re ahead 0-2…let’s nibble and then throw a fastball down the middle of the plate on 3-2”.

Pure DH. We all hope he hits.

[Tlaker]

What is up with official scorers anymore? How is that a hit an any game at any level?!
