They got that other guy, Welker, Junkins, I forget his name. 

Spin the Wheel ?  Gotta be a speed thing ?   with Larnach in L.F.  I.D.K.

Marco Raya is going on the 15-day IL because of a right shoulder impingement.

It's his throwing shoulder so I know it's not good, but how bad of an injury is this? Pretty vague, so too soon to tell? I wonder if Raya was going to be sent down anyway when Bailey came up. Or Adams, I suppose. 

Next man up!

Excited to see Kreidler in the 9 slot - his elite on base abilities are wasted when the people after him immediately strike out...

No Gray!

[Western SD Fan]

My concern with Keaschall isn't his ability to play CF.  My concern is that he is still learning RF and now they are wanting him to do CF where he will be in charge of the OF's.  His decision making has been suspect at times out there.  That is just attributed to being new and he has made some great catches out there.  We all question based on the worst that can happen and he will probably do fine!

It’s a really big ask to move him to one of the most difficult positions in the field after what appears to be 1 practice session. Hope it works out… 

[Church of Kreidler]

Very excited to cement the series tonight! Absolute no need to have a rubber game tomorrow, because we're going to lock that win in approximately 3 hours!

[Western SD Fan]

It appears for game 2 that they did learn a lesson from last night.  Plouffe is reporting from LF and Span is reporting from RF tonight, which leaves Morneau and Perkins in the booth.  I'm not sure if any of you caught Bert Blyleven stirring the pot congratulating the concept of the all-analyst broadcast last night after the game.

[Vanimal46]

As I’m watching the Phillies game on ESPN, and see JT Realmuto batting the Bob Uecker line with a .600 OPS, why wouldn’t they be interested in Jeffers at the deadline?

[Church of Kreidler]

Dang, already seriously unimpressed by this ump

[Western SD Fan]

One batter in and the home plate umpire made a bad call and then a make up bad call.

[The Great Hambino]

Plouffe seems really impressed by the straightness of the foul line.  They're really making the most of this announcing setup

Good opening inning from Prielipp

[MMMordabito]

Woof ... Angie Craig

I’d keep Paredes up and send Adams down. 

Isn't Paredes on the list to start on Thursday?

Was he circled?

[Danchat]

Geez, I don't want to jinx it but this Cleveland lineup stinks. I'm not sure how they're going to score runs.

I believe it has been announced that Ober will come of the IL to make the Thursday start.

No circles were harmed in the making of Bert's post.

I wonder if they will ever attempt to play Lewis in the outfield again. He has now played all of the Infield positions.

Yep.  You are right..it was Paredes listed as of yesterday. Good that Ober will be back

[Tlaker]

JFC…….

[Peter]

Not good

[mnfireman]

So, not only did Lee not score on Clemens double, he get's picked off third. Really???

[MMMordabito]

JFC ... Brooks

[Western SD Fan]

Maybe this is Lee's favorite band.  When I was growing up, this band seemed to be the house band for Austin City Limits on PBS.

[Twindy]

Lee owes the team a run

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Just brutal. I don't care what excuses the booth wanted to make, i.e., the Twins like the contact play and Lee's momentum carried him too far. Nonsense. You can't make a mistake like that.

HE also owes Cody who has a .808 OPS

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

CP is dealing through two...

[USAFChief]

Well that was suboptimal.

Heard that Buxton played football in HS. ...wonder what Twin would be the most likely to succeed in a Dion Sanders/Bo Jackson scenario
