Well, the “lockout” aspect is undeniable. That will happen in December. That doesn’t stop an individual player from going to the lab to improve themselves. 

But I have been told multiple times this week that Jenkins and Culpepper will not be called up for this exact reason and to think otherwise is foolish.

will probs get resolved by February/march  the game is in too good of a place right now to miss any games. Just hope the owners and MLBPA can realize that 

Once checks start getting missed from either tv revenue or players checks, they will get serious about a settlement at the latest.  Hopefully it doesn't take that long to figure it out.

And our gross incompetence against no-name lefty pitching remains intact.

Sigh!

[Church of Kreidler]

Even if his bat has cooled down, plays like that last inning still keep me in the pew.

Agents are greedy , it will be no one can be affected because of a 40 man rule ,  they know how to work around stuff like service time and alot of things , that need to be changed , so Teams like the Twins cant hold on to players till 29-30 years old , it needs to get alot shorter so Fans  can see there guys at younger age,  we shall see ?

He found his Ouija board and channeled the ghost of Jamie Moyer to make the start against the Twins.

The point being made to me was you want to let the players continue to play in the minors so keep them off the 40 man roster.

I’m with you and want them both up ASAP. Pull a Milwaukee and extend young players for 6-8 years now before the rules change in future CBAs

Guess if I’m a club playing the Twins I’d just call up all my lefties before the series.

Compare to Lee and Gray, whose defensive stylings at short have been pew.

 the 40 man roster-- needs alot of changes  for sure !

[Western SD Fan]

Zebby throwing a QS and not going to get a decision.  We still have hope though!  MLB's worst bullpen has entered the game.

[SS MagicMark]

DO NOT SWING

Exhumation of guys like Lefty Grove and Lefty Gomez should not be ruled out.

[HarmonK03]

They are trying to get Royce to chase and he's not biting, eventually they will have to start pitching to him.  

[Church of Kreidler]

If we can't make back-to-back walks haunt, what the hell are we doing?

Not a favorable one, anyway.

[mrmpls]

Running Royce  -   here we go ? ,  but not 3b
