Playing the position and filling a hole are two different things.

Kreidler has filled the hole, only you cannot see that for some reason, but most here have said he has.

At that, Lee has filled the hole that Lewis created at 3rd base.

We have a base runner 🚨

Me to the bats -

Back before the break when the Twins were winning, they were hitting early in the game. Big first innings, getting out to leads over the first three or four innings, and added on as the game progressed. Haven’t done that for a while. Since the break that has been missing, would like to see it return.

Classic Safeco Field today suppressing HRs into long fly ball outs.

that would've been a homer in a lot of other parks :(

 kid like Marek tearing it up so far , great at Defense - thats not gonna change ? if at all - so what if he came here and hit like Gray which i doubt he would , to me the risk is worth it . im tired of hearing it might do more harm than good in the long run ,  Talent is Talent , take a risk ?

Houston is going the force the issue at some point either this year or early next year if he keeps hitting like he has.  I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him directly from Wichita.

Seriously? Worthless fake-hustle play.  Should be an automatic fine for any player that attempts it, but especially a player with a history of hand injuries.

Kriedler warning track power all weekend to the deep parts of the park. Not enough. Damn. Pull the ball….. homers.

Here are the game logs of Culpepper since coming back from injury.  Last night was the first game that he has played SS in back-to-back games since coming back from the IL.  I want to see Culpepper as much as the next guy.  I also want to make sure he can play the position every day before calling him up.  If he can't play the field every day, he needs to stay in AAA until he can.

Larnach seems to be striking out a lot lately.

I think it's from the original injury, I had not heard he did this again or did I miss something.

I'm thinking it's a believable but poor joke

Sharply is our new DH

Monday is trade day... and a day off..Twins need to shake things up either via some trades or possibly some moves up from AAA...need hitters to solidify some runs and maybe one more pitcher...I know there are some that do not like the idea of boosting AAA players...but some sparks are needed due to their declared intention not to sell..

Nice. That was a box I was looking to check off before returning to my drum and beat it relentlessly until he’s called up.

Helpme out...  I remember the days when it seemed like many of the stadiums were used for baseball and football...are there any left...if not, what was the last one...Oakland?

They play college football at Wrigley

[thelanges5]

Yankees just traded for Garcia from the Nats. Four prospects given up, but I haven’t seen the names yet.

[h2oface]

Looks like Lewis learned something from the game losing play yesterday. 

[Patzky]

That Wallner dude has been hitting the ball lately.

[Patzky]

Looks like Cleveland and Detroit will win and Sox already have. No pressure.. 

[h2oface]

Plouffe definitely a Lewis apologist.

It's all one offs now.  They have played a college football game at Target Field and Wrigley.  They host bowl games at Fenway and Yankee Stadium.  I believe the bowl game that used to be played in SF was played at Oracle.  Petco Park has hosted the Holiday Bowl before.  But, these are all one offs now as no stadium anymore does double duty.

That trade was a bit of a surprise for me.  Maybe the Twins have told them they are not trading Jeffers.  Ben Rice is also a catcher.  Maybe they fix their catcher problem by moving him back behind the plate.

Yes.  Technically the Big A was also reconfigured for football when the Rams were in LA before they moved to St Louis.  I think they removed that configuration when the Rams moved, but I could be wrong.

[h2oface]

Down to 11 outs, still no runs.
