Thanks for grabbing it!

(and i'm glad i checked before i went through the process of typing it in rather than cutting and pasting, though i'm no stranger to bein' ninja'd)

Still think Caratini needs some rest, a stint on the IL. His vat and reactions look slow right now. He looks wimpy to me after that foul ball off knee.

Throwing Culpepper right in and batting 7th. I like it

He should be the starting SS till the end of the year unless he bats under .100 after 3 weeks.

Every day, maybe 1 day off every two weeks.

Caratini over Lee makes zero sense to me....zero. 

Just spitballin' here... (in the brainstorming sense, not in advocating the use of foreign substances to affect a baseball's trajectory)

Scheduled day off?

Better pitch hitting option?

Faired better against Brewer's starter?

Or maybe he just is second when ordered reverse alphabetically by first name?

He has really improved his fielding this year. Plus arm plus range. He cut down on a lot of bad errors from previous years. Very strong arm

If he is hurt then put him on the IL.  But I am suspecting this is more of a TD injury than anything else.

But they can stop forcing him into the lineup, he has not earned the playing time they are giving him.

Praying it doesn't happen today, but if T. Rogers pitches badly, would he be the next DFA candidate when we have to make a move?

Also, hoping that Culpepper's call-up results in some more steal attempts 🤞

Foreign concept to TC hitters lately.

[Cory Engelhardt]

I will add that I like that Zebby is still getting chances. He definitely has the build and can be an innings eater up here once he truly figures out what out pitches he wants to use when. I like Rojas’s potential as much as anyone, but he hasn’t ever been able to throw all that many innings. Let him go for a bit in St. Paul and get to where he can throw 90-100 pitches and be comfortable.

Frankly, the way Ryan has been going, I trust basically every other starter currently up in the majors to give them 5 innings more than I do Ryan right now today. Hopefully he gets right. They will need him

Have I ever heard of Taylor Rashi?

Think they got him as a Arizona castoff last month

Which team? I do kinda hope a rookie SS encourages the opposition to test him, and that attempts are all they end up being.

Turns out for us, that's the easy part, though not always...

I keep forgetting the other team also has a lineup...

I guess i just am less familiar with the names.

Ya. I meant the Twins trying to steal more but agreed with you

I did speculate you meant that, and seeing someone respond on that assumption, it seemed more likely, but well, sometimes hitting it where they ain't is a good, too....

I don't recognize a few of them.

Exciting night for the team and fans.

 This is what we've been waiting for! 

Win Twins!

I suspect the names Lara and Pratt may be especially unfamiliar - they're both rookies that were called up last month and figure to be mainstays because they both were signed to long term deals while still in the minors.
