Wallner has to be on his way out. I really hoped he would be better but this isn’t working.

Morneau - when he gets hot he can carry this offense. Has that ever happened in Wallner's career?

Moneau would be one who at a funeral would say - Boy that is a nice casket!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The reality of Wallner has never matched up with what he could be in theory.

Never had Kepler's glove ability and never even hit as well as Kepler could, but for years all the blabber was about getting Kepler gone and Wallner in.

[Patzky]

Well surely Buck will hit a solo jack next inning.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nothing to be gained by Wallner being in the line-up. His confidence is gone. He's not going to suddenly run into a hot streak. Send him down, let him get right (hopefully) against minor league pitching and re-evaluate in a couple of weeks.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Well, I will give him props because that was a really good catch.

[RpR]

Ah, Lewis is right on the Mendoza line; time to change name to the Lewis Line?

[Patzky]

Outta here. Stay focused... Tough pitch and good hitting.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Gopher ball starting to re-emerge as a problem for Taj.

[Chris Hove]

He just golfed that one out.

Need to dig deep and get a win

Well, the leadoff hitter did hit a solo jack the following inning ...

This has been a consistent problem in Twins development and roster construction.  We gave up on Rooker because Larnach was going to be the next power hitter.  We gave up on Larnach because Wallner was the next great power hitter.  We let Kepler walk because Wallner was going to take over his position and his production.  Now there are calls to see the next shiny toy in the box (Rodriguez, Jenkins, Gonzalez, Fedko, take your pick).  I think Wallner needs to get sent down.  I don't want it to be so reactionary that we are desperate to see the next shiny toy in the box.

Guess a weak single will have to do 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Welp, that fizzled out in a hurry.

Ball was practically on the ground.. but you're right.

[RpR]

The RARE moment sliding into First would have been a good idea.

We can't RISP but lead the league in FOIH.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Well, at least Royce didn't throw it away - nice job by Clemens.

[Western SD Fan]

Lewis got lucky that Clemens picked the ball.  He should have ate it as he had no chance of getting an out there.

[jaimedude]

Putrid hitting so far by Twins

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Naylor is really annoying.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Seattle's lineup will eventually start to hit and their pitching is as good as anyone's in the AL. Might be this year's version of the Blue Jays.

We are forecast to be better in 2027, assuming no strike.

[wavedog]

At the risk of jinxing him - Bradley pitching has been a nice development for the Twins this March & April - it has been a pleasure to watch him pitch hope it continues to at least give us something to look forward to watching the team.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Bell stays cold. Every swing looks the same with him.

[Chris Hove]

That split-finger Taj has is one of the best pitches in the game. He's only given up three hits while throwing his split finger and has an over 42% Whiff rate. Good to see him throwing it so well right now.

[Patzky]

Our once an inning hit. 🙏

[Patzky]

Cmon Kody make a noise.
