Unbelievable how well they are this year ...

They had a plan and it seems to be working ...

What a IDEA !!!

[karcherd]

Is Zoll even awake or anyone in the Twins offices.  Culpepper needs to be pulled from the game now and put on a plane.  I know there are question marks about some of the other players we would like to see up here, but what are you going to lose.  Trying to fit Clemens into your lineup batting third, that has us 8 games below .500,  Let's do something to show that we have a plan and are serious about trying to develop a winning team.

Put the tarp on and leave it there til April 2028

And Keaschall lobs a pop up over to first. What is wrong with these guys.!

It’s difficult to watch.

[Vanimal46]

If this is the beginning of Joe Ryan’s patented 2nd half slide, then let’s make a trade happen sooner than later. 

[h2oface]

Caratini can’t hit, but sure can do a nice half bat flip to opposite hand. You know, important stuff.  
 

They don’t make Cards throw enough pitches to even give Ryan a needed break. Playing like yesterday never ended.

I was hoping for Joe Ryan Experience tomorrow when me and the family are going, but Prielipp is a nice consolation prize. Also, fingers crossed they actually call up Kaelen Culpepper any day…

Mrs Chief and I will be at TF tomorrow. 

[karcherd]

Culpepper with a single, triple, two RBI's and a stolen base.  But hey we get Tristan Gray, that is why we buy tickets.

[hitterscount]

You might get get me to make the drive over with 4 tickets for $40 and 16 beer tickets.

If there’s any west direction of that rain I will be entering my house with wet floors. Had my windows open all day

Gray two grand slams; but maybe he stood to close too Lewis and if infected him.

Of course you would find a way to blame Lewis when Gray makes an 8th grade mistake.

Saints are having so much fun .

A better experience that inning but is it too late.

I think the Twins wanted Kaelen Culpepper to play 75-80 games at AAA but it looks like he is ready. The defense is solid, he is a good base runner, and the patience has improved month to month. The bat has pop, both gap and over the fence.

Do you really have that much faith that our aging “young “ guys would be able to perform? Sure, we’d like to think that, but look at our track record. Oft injured….. 1/2 season wonders….. Maybe. 

[Vanimal46]

Rain delay likely on the way. Just got home and the wind is blowing like crazy with heavy rain. Windows are closed now

I have little doubt he will not be up by July, but Sabato is the glove and bat that should be up.

[h2oface]

Don’t even think about Gray’s 2 grand slams ……

So is the solution never bring anyone up from St. Paul again.  Keep playing AAAA players and past their prime vets like Bell and Caratini.  At some point you have to promote if the players are earning and there are a few that are earning a shot based on what is in front of them.

[Patzky]

Like cmon Luke.. sigh.

To some here, any one is better, regardless of how poor they are when they hit the Big League.

Isn’t he almost 40 by now, after all those horrible years in the lower minors? 😇

A plan is nice, but sometimes the situation dictates you adjust.  And by moving Lee to third and trying to play Gray at short, it is time to adjust.

You try so hard, but I am sure Keaschall hitting into a double play after Gray's single makes you feel better.
