[Patzky]

Much easier to pitch without the leadoff guy(s) on base. For both pitchers.

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.

Wonder how many a Sox fans are pulling for Gonzalez to sit. Watch he'll nail one here.

[Patzky]

Tigers flipped a switch. So did Tampa 

[Western SD Fan]

Nice bounce back inning by Prielipp.  He may make 5 innings tonight.

[Patzky]

Lot of these noisy outs like at the Rate.

[mrtwinsfan]

It’s hard to believe Morneau was a MLB player…. and a damn good one… however some of his takes on defensive plays, swings at pitches above the shoulders are absurd.

The optimist in me says that they are working out a contract similar to Konnor Griffin, McGonigle in Detroit, or some of the others that have signed earlier this season.  The pessimist just says, no matter what, that they will stick to their tried-and-true method of service time manipulation regardless of the damage it may do to the current team or his career.  If you consider the upcoming labor negotiations, the players not on the 40-man still have to report to the minors.  But if you are on the 40-man, you get locked out.

Keep it up Mr Gray

Buck is incredibly overrated 

Yeah, being by far the best hitter on his team (with Jeffers sidelined) is SOOO out of style.

[Patzky]

Could it be that deciding between Gray and Kriedler and giving regular playing time to one of them has its benefits.

[Vanimal46]

Do we get the bronze to chisel a Tristan Gray statue now? Or… a couple of days from now?

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

liking it

[Cris E]

Is Grey still leading the team in RBI? OK, ha ha, no, but...

Lessee, more RBI than hits, that's unusual.  

[Patzky]

Gray Shift!

[Linus]

Great baserunning by the Twins this inning. Don’t say that too often. 

[Patzky]

Jackson! Five!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Let's go boys!

[ashbury]

Tristan Gray demonstrates that you don't have to hit only grand slams to register RBIs.  Royce, are you taking notes?

[mrtwinsfan]

CMON BUCK

That's another factor to me that goes into the Culpepper equation.  As long as Gray and Kreidler are performing above expectations, they get to continue to push him back.  We all know who they are long-term, but sometimes it's nice to ride the hot streak.
