We need some changes on the Twins. This losing stretch with same dudes over and over again is getting old.

You really think they'll send him out to DFA land  ...

I had figured based on how the game was shaking out, he was going to be the reliever for Banda...

That was Keaschall's fault.

[Irishman]

Before this game started, Twins bullpen era was 5.81 and ranked 29 out of 30 teams.   Twins bullpen is horrible.   Very embarrassing

Bright side.....only 3 ER

Well that’s gonna be the Twins for a vast majority of this season. 100 losses is in our grasp.

Bell, Caratini, Clemens, Lewis, Wallner: their average, average = .194.

A fielder who is making a play on a batted ball is "protected" from interference by a base runner. In other words, the fielder gets the right-of-way in cases where a base runner converges on a fielder who is making a play on a batted ball. The fielder's protection begins the moment the ball is put in play and the fielder goes in motion to make a play on the ball. The protection continues until the fielder makes a play or makes a throw after fielding the ball. From beginning to end of this sequence, the fielder has the right of way and runners must avoid impeding the fielder.

If it was a reviewable play it would have been overturned.

Clemens and Wallner have had so many rbi opportunity's this season and both are not hitting a lick. Not sure why Clemens has so much equity, poor contact hitter, strikes out a lot and he isn't a great defender. Been a Twins less than a year and he is old. Wallner looks lost and has been force fed opportunity for 3 seasons now without really improving much. Stubbornness of keeping these two on roster by Twins is baffling to me. Neither of these two guys will help Twins turn the corner or get better. Neither Wallner or Clemens is going to be a solution to improving the Twins. But keep giving them opportunity's they are not earning.

Keaschall could have avoided hitting the runner with his throwing hand, his fault for hitting him with an empty hand, which is just how the umpires saw it.

All the moaning is silly.
