He has a very short timeline to show something.  Right now he is profiling to be a fourth outfielder at best.

Would be pretty dumb to give him no actual chance after trading an all star reliever for him, but that’s Twins baseball 

 

65 PAs and Twins fans are all “that’s enough, bring up a 21 year old and start his clock quicker so he can be a Yankee sooner”

If we change the daylight savings time law does that mean we can start every game at 5:40 CT?  If so they have my vote

GREAT throw by Kwan. We could use a little of that!

[Aggies7]

Damn too bad we didn’t score 2 more. Would be in line for Jackson to close

Varland was not an all star at the time of the trade.  And acquiring made no sense especially after they acquired Outman.  

He has had 200 ab's in the major leagues with a batting avg of .191 and OPS of .544, what screams he needs to be playing ahead of players like Keaschall or Jenkins.

I don't understand this fascination with Roden, he will be 27 before next season and Toronto basically came to the conclusion that he was not a major league player.  He has had three different stints in the major leagues and just has not done anything.  Someone in his position needs to produce quickly or he is not going to get another opportunity and that point should be coming soon.

And leave the bases loaded. ……

Larnach  looks the part -  but his arm ?

Kreidler, what was that.

Eastern is the worst time zone for sports watching in the USA. Watching NFL Sundays on Pacific time is an absolute treat.

Kreidler shows the result of  a slump , desperation swings.

Too cocky., Morris.
 

 Pretty wimpy jump there , Roden. 

[wesnewy]

tough for Morris -- that scoreless streak was a bright spot for this bullpen

[mrmpls]

Better now than a close game ,  i guess !

Is it safe to say you will not be starting the ChurchofRoden?

Or is he showing why he had only 200 AB's coming into the season.  Right now we need his defense until Culpepper is healthy but he is not the answer as the every day shortstop.  He needs to be the utility guy for the rest of the season, get Culpepper healthy.

So Culpepper can imitate Roden?

I’m pretty confident Roden will figure it out.  Tonight he scored 2 runs.   Trading Varland was the necessary evil to get the #3 pick. Garlands can be acquired or developed (ie Morris) Lackeys cannot.  Rojas and Roden can still provide good value for the Twins.

And you can predict this, can you tell me the Lotto numbers as well.

Culpepper  can bat .199  as long as the Defense plays for the rest of this year  fine with me

Can you predict he will not, Roden , Fedko, Outman put the odds in my favor.
