Larnach should’ve peeled off, and I think Gray would’ve had that ball. He dropped it because he thought he was gonna run in to Larnach. Larnach started to veer away, and then veered back in his path.

Just saw the clip, yeah that brought back Buck-Correa memories from last year

I'm at high-school sectional play game and enjoying it  ....

Only comment i will have today is ,

, is SWR  a starting pitcher or a bullpen arm ??? ...

He didn't fair well again as a starter and we really don't know if he will handle the bullpen transition ...

SWR is a bulk guy, like they want everyone to be.

I'm saying it again, I do not want to play these guys again in a week...

I knew they're pretty good, I'm pretty sure their pitching and hitting is better than the Guardians. They don't have the secret spice.

White Sox are an annoying team so the last two games sting more than they would have otherwise. Hoping some revenge next week...

We got basically 10 free wins each year from them from 23-24. They want paybacks.

For me, I'm not worried so much about the Twins rushing prospects (or not) as I am about the constant injuries in AAA. For Rodriguez and Jenkins, it seems like they have spent more time being hurt than they have playing. As we've seen with Lewis and Buxton, that can follow a player for a long time.

I'm excited for Mendez but he's only 22 with 80 plate appearances in AAA. Calling him up now probably does more harm than good.

The Twins have clearly thought about clearing a spot for Culpepper with Lee permanently moving to SS. That move will happen sooner rather than later.

So I guess that leaves Gonzalez. Could argue that with Kreidler and even Clemens (!!!) getting some run in centerfield, you can jettison Outman and give the young guy a chance. 

But otherwise, there's really no one banging on the door in St. Paul or Wichita.

I do think the Twins have been more willing to get the young arms up to the majors and two of them (Abel / Rojas) are already dealing with injuries.

Fundy coming back?

It would have to be Fundy, Klein would be the only other 40 man option and he threw 60 pitchers on Tuesday.

Kind of weird for Morris to only throw 29 pitches though. With the way the injury luck or bad luck is going - I'm waiting to hear that he was pulled because of some type of 'discomfort'.

Morris is supposed to be a one inning guy, not a long relief, so do you want him available Saturday or Sunday in Pittsburgh, you pull him now.

Morris is pissed. At least thats something.

Morris is not (yet) a strike out pitcher and he induces a ton of weak/broken bat contact. Defense matters in this case and we see it too often. 

Brooks Lee to third base was a good move for defensive reasons. He is way better there and better than the previous occupants. Shortstop remains tough and Buck being a DH puts the team in a rough spot in CF.
