Prielipp was looking decent for the first couple of innings.  Seems like he is falling apart as the CWS are forcing him to come in the zone and he does not have the swing and miss stuff in zone.

Could it be he's a RP being asked to fill in as a SP

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey   we r  allowed to string hits together also  !!!!!!!

[Patzky]

Eventually we will quit playing good teams.. but l don't know if the results will change.

How many more home runs does Culpepper have to hit to get him called up,

I honestly think it's more that he needs more seasoning in St Paul and we have no choice but to have him up here at the moment.  This was why I was advocating the Mlodzinski thread earlier today that he could provide both short- and long-term assistance to the team.  At least he seems to be able to face major league pitching at the moment.

3.  No 4.

[hitterscount]

Bunt, he’s going to strikeout anyway

The answer is much more than you want him to since he is not on the 40-man.  If he was, he likely would have been up here already.  Something about an impending work stoppage has got everyone scared?

I can give you about 10 candidates that can be removed from the 40 man roster.  Gray is not a major league shortstop and obviously they have no faith in Kreidler.

[hitterscount]

Nice AB Buck…

[Parfigliano]

Base path Action Jackson strikes.

[Hunter4848]

Buck is incredibly overrated 

[SS MagicMark]

We got a point!

[karcherd]

I just discovered it is legal to throw out a runner trying to steal, Cardenas just did in St. Paul.

[Patzky]

Trusty ol Brooks.

I don't disagree with you there.  It's more of a reality statement that, since he is not on the 40-man, they do not have to rush him up here no matter how many hits or home runs he gets in St. Paul.

[mrtwinsfan]

swing at zero strikes--  geez

It's a rule TC is testing out in AAA to see if they want to implement in MLB.

[hitterscount]

Martin is good enough…. swinging at some of these pitches just makes it so much easier for him.

Yet other teams have been calling up their younger players whether on the 40 man or not.  They need to put the best team out there and right now that means Culpepper at short.  I am not giving any slack to the Twins for this non move, it is starting to be management malfeasance.

They brought back the Protest rule just to protest the game on that play.  May have to wait until the league looks at it.
