Can they shift Buck to OF if they do that? Because they could have Ph for Martin too. But then your defense is shot for the rest of the game.

Buck could move to the outfield it would mean losing the DH.  Outman's defense is overrated, I don't think he is a has to be out there late innings type.

[Patzky]

Buck might not appreciate the DH day off as much as Rocco likes to offer him one

He got an AB last night.

Missed that one, thank you.  Be nice for him to get a start or else bring up Sabato, it makes more sense from positional needs.

[Chembry]

Bradley pitched reasonably well today.

Not good news on Festa.  Specialist he saw in Dallas thinks he is suffering from neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome.  Good article on mlbtr about it.

TC stopping the 0 for forever RISP ABs would greatly help.

Highlight D by Outman.  Can't hit can't field.  

Wasn't it Martin?

[Blyleven2011]

The twins have had ample opportunities to score , let blow the doors off like detroit did to the yankees yesterday  , it could happen  , BUT its the twins ...

As always that's the heart of the matter. It's just not as visible as the pitcher giving up a run.

Outman's the one who ended up without a mitt.

[tony&rodney]

On the triple, Martin had to retrieve the ball in right center field. Looking at the replay, Larnach just sat and watched the play and then jogged a few strides after the ball hits the wall. I have never seen that play before and the batter was right handed, although being played straight away.

The whole organization needs to be cleansed by fire.

Outman missed ball it wall.  Martin played the rebound.  Wallner watched.

[Parfigliano]

Time to watch NYM hopefully not embarrass themselves in Philly again.

Agreed.   Joe Pohlad won't do it.   

It is time to defund Joe Pohlad!!!  I haven't been to Target Field since 2016.   I refuse to subscribe MLB.tv and Twins souvenirs.

Wallner watched from the dugout. Larnach watched from RF.

So many people doing nothing it's hard to keep track of them all

Does the Twins broadcast team read TD?  The other day I mentioned that I can't tell Outman and Fitzgerald apart at the plate.  That's the topic of discussion in the top of the fourth.

Maybe my observation was just that obvious and everyone sees it.

Or maybe, just maybe, my life has not been in vain.

I think they also mentioned it a few weeks ago too?

 

Sorry just catching up on the thread.

Didn't know you'd take it so hard!

 

Also it was probably a different they, as different folk narrate the radio and tv for different games?

 

Personally i'm waiting for them to do the ol' switcheroo at their hall of fame induction ceremony.

Can we all accept that Royce is an average (at best) hitter now?  I keep hearing folks say how he's improving (which he is from his .550 OPS) but all these time spans hover right around .700 OPS.  I like the kid, but he ain't the cavalry.

With his swing he is always going to be pitched on the outside corner…. he might run into something once in a while, but he’s not going to be consistent

Keaschall actually shows more of a future than Lewis, Lee, and Wallner at this point in time.

Robert William Stephenson should be writing poetry not throwing HR balls to Buxton.

Yeah Patz...the famous Robert "William" Stevenson. Love it!

You saw Larnach try to score in the first inning? It's hard for me to tell when he's jogging.
