Play some clean baseball and bounce back from last night! Going to be a late night, anyone staying up?

Go Twins!!

[thelanges5]

Let’s hope that defense doesn’t show up again tonight. 
 

Bobby N:
The Twins rank 29th among 30 teams in defensive runs saved (negative-27), according to Sports Info Solutions.

StatCast grades the Twins’ defense at negative-11 runs prevented, sixth worst in MLB.

Pitiful.

I see Kreidler is starting at short tonight. Thank you!

[SteveLV]

Notwithstanding his 2 GS's, I think Mr. Gray is on thin ice at this point.  When Culpepper returns to health, that might be the end for him on the MLB roster.....

[Patzky]

Identical lineup save Kriedler bats ninth at SS. Caratini plays again but who can complain at this point.. run Buck run. Pitch Taj pitch.

[Parfigliano]

Can't watch because I'm considered in AZ local area (750 miles away) or AZ won't play nice with MLB DirecTV Ticket thing.  Dont know which it is.  Can't even get it via TMobile phone deal.

Either way no TC on TV for me.

Not letting Luke of the hook here ,   but him and Kreidler  seem to work better together , Grays 4ft  pitch to Luke was what caused a rushed throw and high, Kueschell got plenty of his own to worry about, ,  working alot together can only help the younger guys out,  S.S. musical  chairs dont help anyone  Culpepper  were all waiting !,  S.S. IS  V.I.P.  # 1 Position !!!!!  Correa  spoiled us on Defense !!!!!

Watching the Saints game.  Wallner just hit a home run and is batting 2nd in the lineup.  His hitting has been getting better lately.  Having him hit higher in the lineup may be a sign that they are looking at seeing what he can do for the big league club in the near future.

Not a usable OF but a passable DH? Bell at 1B? Hmmm.. I expect Roden up first

I don't care if it is a west coast game or not; 10:10 EDT is way too late for a baseball game, especially on a Saturday.

Bad news on the injury front, Abel had a setback and will be getting an MRI. Most seemed to expect him being activated and starting tomorrow.

That is not good news , his 2 rehab starts were good , sounds kinda like Mahle after we acquired him and that didn't turn out well ...

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Go Twins!

Leadoff starts with, as does Larnach.

So the lineup starting with Larnach is only natural.

Ah, geez. Was looking forward to Abel starting tomorrow. Also, that means Lawrence will still be with the team tomorrow.

 

[krink]

Excited to see Kreidler in the lineup - as it should be.

Since my threats have worn off, I will now move onto the next stage: bargaining! If the Twins win tonight, I will help fund Joe Ryan’s extension! Follow up question: do you think they’ll take IOUs?

[mrtwinsfan]

?  wondering ? hoping ?  asked about ?  Byron and his  1st inning BOBO , I think of Buck as a guy who would bring it up himself  in locker room ,   curious ? 

[SS MagicMark]

That is some lousy luck for Bell.

[krink]

Bell!!! Anita Ward would be proud!

[lecroy24fan]

How on earth did that happen? A ball that's never more than a few inches off the ground should never go over the wall.

 

Also the umps should have used discretion and let Larnach score. He was at 3B when the ball went over.

[mrtwinsfan]

Patience here Brooks

[lecroy24fan]

Turns out the lack of discretion from the umps didn't hurt.
