[Recognize]

Surprise surprise Royce strikes out with a high pitch

[Sjoski]

Lewis has swung at 12 of 13 pitches today....forget St. Paul....send him to the pysch ward.

Says a lot that Gasser has only two strikeouts, both of them being Royce.

Yep, Royce is a blackhole at the bat.

I am hoping that if/when they decide to send Lewis down, they will also instruct him to pick up a 1B glove and take some reps over there.  Provided Culpepper sticks, that will likely be his one spot to stay on the team and maybe develop a little more trade value as he can play multiple positions if the Twins do end up writing him off.

I’m not sure if there’s any other levers to pull to get Lewis out of this slump in MLB

Sending Wallner and him to AAA is taking away opportunities from someone that deserves to be there.

There's enough injuries to our AAA players that this shouldn't be a problem.

Lewis might need the total system reset like Sano did and get sent down to Ft Myers. If/when he’s sent down to the minors, a week of good hitting isn’t solving this situation.

Just checking in, looks like a busy game and busy thread guys. Anyone else check the forum before they checked the actual score? I do. And saw all I needed to about 23.

[Danchat]

Clemens really is a feast or famine hitter. Through May 9th, he was hitting .184 with .637 OPS and 3 HRs and 4 2Bs, through the 10th to the 17th he is hitting .523 with 2 HRs and 5 2Bs with an OPS of somewhere around 1.500!

[Patzky]

Hold the fort, got a couple hours of family fun scheduled today ☺️ . Maybe my absence will nab a victory!

It is interesting to compare the TB trade between Bradley (He is starting today for St. Paul) and Jax from last year. My feeling is that it was a good one based on what has taken place this year.

I agree that anytime you can get at least a serviceable starting arm for a reliever it's a victory.  Before the injury, Bradley was definitely trending towards being a better than serviceable starter.  On a separate note, the Rays are working on turning Jax back into a starter.  He has made 4 starts this season and getting farther into the game each time with his last start going 5 innings.

Three runs isn't winning this game.

ask shelton - most here agree

[Western SD Fan]

Nice play by Lewis in the field.

[hitterscount]

What do you know a little defense.... maybe Royce's glove will ignite the bat.

because he’s dealing with upper back tightness.

Perhaps he should bunt or try not swinging a few times. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Bailey ,  think they got ya figured out,    gotta give it to the pen  or does Shelty gamble here ?  tough call with this Pen,   Overall  good job Mr Ober

No, I'm watching the Twins on big screen and switching between Saints and Kernels on small screen. 

Yasser Mercedes with 3 run bomb. Winokur with 4 RBIs. 

Defense matters. Two great plays means a solo shot.

[mnfireman]

Nice answer by Jeffers...

It will be interesting to watch Jax. He pitched 5 scoreless innings on the 13th after a poor outing the previous time. I do believe that the conflict between him and Rocco made him happy to be traded.

[S Bart]

Jeffers deserves an all-star nod if he continues at this ....but he will not receive the votes due to being an unknown. It would have to be a manager's nod.

[krink]

Luke looking good at bat today - hopefully trending upwards!

He was able to hit a home run yesterday with the tightness.  This is completely a Shelton bad decision, don't let him off the hook.
