Urquidy  , pitching against the Saints  is a old timer with alot of exp in the bigs and throws alot of  off speed ,   good test for Lewis and Wallner ,   Royce -pop out and a k - wallner D.P.    Good test !!!!!

Much had been made about the quality of AAA pitching.. it's a good barometer, agree.

[mnfireman]

Brooks Lee giving his dad credit for his offensive turn-around probably won't sit too well with the team...

'Brooks Lee's Dad' can be the answer to any of Audra's questions on a winning night and even Shelty will chuckle. 

 

Nobody calls him Shelty anymore since we started sucking again.

If Royce and/or Wally still can't hit off-speed stuff, then what have we gained from this exercise?

My answer is, not much worthwhile.

 probably think they can do it again with S.W.R. and Topa ---  i WISH THEM WELL !!!!!!

I do too, mainly because of their pitching coach.  He's from my home town, I used to umpire when he was in Little League and Babe Ruth league (13-15) and he married a friend of my sister.

(ignore the Oklahoma in my profile; that's just where the military dropped me off after 20+ years.)

[Patzky]

Lol and they're off.

only way there gonna learn ,  hitting A.A.A  Fastballs served up on the plate  might look great ,   but thats it

some things never change ,  comical AGAIN

We better hope the delay screwed up Wacha because Zebby ain't got it 

[Western SD Fan]

This inning in St Paul has been a test of Royce's defensive chops at 1st.  Tested with a bunt single to him that he fielded properly, but Funderburk didn't get over to 1st to cover the bag.  Next play was a hot smash to him.  He fielded it, fed it to 2nd for the double play.  Culpepper bounced the relay throw back to Lewis and he couldn't corral it allowing the run to score.  Some tough plays and there is some more footwork to do.

They're trying to use up all our challenges in the top of the 1st 😂😂😂

Apple announcer -

The Twins especially are versatile defensively.

 

Translation - no one can nail a position down.

Sounds like Zebby is back to throwing batting practice again
