Gasper can’t catch a cold 

Vazquez couldn't hit your pitches.

There was a poster here years ago that described Mitch Garver using a cast iron pan as a glove and I’ll never forget it. I hope he’s doing alright

Trevor has found a new gear lately. Something motivating him perhaps.

Great cook now on camping trips

The real issue isn't Vazquez getting playing time. Who GAF? Gaspar has less business getting ABs than Vazquez.

The real issue is Falvine putting the Twins in a position of Vazquez being their 2nd best C option and ZERO depth in the minors. Not having ANYone more deserving right now of playing time.

They have been exceptionally lucky not to have suffered any injuries at C for basically forever.

It could be so much worse if god forbid Jeffers was injured. It’s never a good sign when the team releases both catchers in AAA right before the deadline. 

That catcher we picked up from LA, former top 20 prospect in the game I may add, was absolutely dreadful for us. 

[SS MagicMark]

Wallner has seen 19 pitches in 3 ABs. 

 

Will they call that an error on the Tigers CF?

you both make excellent points.

[notoriousgod71]

That was just a terrible slide.

[Vanimal46]

That was a brutal slide at home plate for Wallner btw

Keaschall fails, Keaschall's fault.

I agree- just dont want rocco and the coaches moving him to several positions and see him getting hurt  -Happened to Royce- even Martin he was always a S.S. . -2nd b- Sano also , leave him at 2b

But those 18 year old catchers we got in trades are totally gonna work out…

[notoriousgod71]

I will say I'd love to watch wallner truck a catcher... Perhaps torii on Jamie Burke style.

[Blyleven2011]

Jeffers credited with a double , Vanimal46 didn't  make the call

As have so many of the TC catching prospects over the years

[notoriousgod71]

Funderburk? Time to top off the Scotch.

[Patzky]

Keaschall.. wow he's a real spark.

[Aggies7]

We are so ****ing back

I saw this phrase on the Cleveland board.. laughed a bit and a bit later.. 

'Funderburk and found out.'

[SS MagicMark]

The L Train keeps rolling. 

[David HK]

Geez Louise, what a close play at the plate!  Wallner the very definition of "lumbering" around the bases! 😅

But wow, between Martin and Vierling, they're putting on a real clinic of outstanding centerfield play. 😂🤣😂

He is too good, needs to be traded while we have team control.

[Mike Sixel]

Lewis and Lee making me wonder if there is any one ready to start on the left side next year.....
