Topa with men on is usually not a good recipe.

Will we ever have a game filled with Acton.

I hope so, Topa gives me the willies

[Patzky]

Geez don't let them back in

[Aggies7]

I wonder how many times a guy closed a game and then entered the very next one in the 6th inning 

[Aggies7]

This is not going well is it

I like some of the things Shelton does.  Going to Topa as much as humanly possible is not one of those things

Dodged a bullet

[Patzky]

Warm up someone else Topa is gassed.

When you're lucky it's groovy.

This was just about the 7 to 5 ball game. He tagged that ball lucky Martin got to it.

The ball is finding Martin tonight. Not just the HBP. Good thing Larnach is not out there bless his soul

What are your guys thoughts on Christian Encarnacion-Strand? He's available and would provide great power potential at first base. His numbers aren't great though. I should have wrote an article on him.

[Patzky]

Buck will be really back when he gets the truck going.

[Patzky]

Can always use a little more.

Absolutely not. Too much swing and miss in the bat and he's a defensive liability. Also, we have like three first basemen already

No to CES in majors, maybe on stashed at St Paul in case of injury.

I agree. Have seen a lot of local people talking about him.

[Patzky]

Cmon get him in.

[jaimedude]

Speaking of missing Ex-Twins I miss ,Louie Smash and the Hulk music. Wish Twins could bring Varland back from Toronto. Should have kept him.

CES seems to be another player in the same thread as Sabato, Larnach, or some of the other players Falvey drafted in the early part of his era.  A big bat that they could try to develop quickly and use him as trade bait.  Although the trade didn't work out as Mahle got hurt, it did clear out players that now appear like they have hit their ceiling, similar to a Larnach, Sabato, or Lee.
