What a hit! Clemens coming through when we need him again!

[Twindy]

[S Bart]

Grrrr...grrr...these guys suck....well...not really...3 to 3 game...hit this skinny dude.

3 runs.  This Miz guy ain't so tough.

I hope this series means the offense has woken up out of its All-Star slumber!

But I keep seeing Lewis being singled out and I don't really get it.

Lewis' highs and lows are like a steep sine curve, and do not go away.

So many wanted Clemens OFF of the team, my oh my.

A year and a half ago. Time to update your notes, clown boy.

Glad it was gonna stay in the park at least. It would be tough to live with him robbing a home run with that route that he took to the ball.

[SS MagicMark]

All that extra rest for the outfield paid off.

Gleeman:

This is the first time in Twins history they've hit multiple homers off 99+ mph pitches in the same game.

Kreidler by definition is more of a super utility than Marwin Gonzalez because he can play premium positions. Gonzalez also wasn’t good for us at the time. 

Yeah he hit .264 with a .736 OPS in 425 at bats, you are right he didn't do much for us.  To me a super utility guy is someone you move around because you want their bat in the lineup, like I think Clemens would be better in this role.  Ben Zobrist was kind of the model.  Kreidler is an infielder that can fill in when days off are needed.  He is not a center fielder and should only be starting once or twice a week.

Kody was so due

I get it, you want Lewis off the team, I don't.  He has been instrumental in most of our wins over the last 30 days, but go ahead and root against him.

Probably true, but I thought they did that against Chapman with the Yankees a few years ago. Maybe the pitches weren’t 99 or more.

[Peter]

Need to challenge that!!!

Lol a .736 OPS in 2019. The juiced ball year. Your argument actually sounds worse now. 

Gonzalez’ OPS+ in 2019 was 94. Below average for that absurd year. Kreidler’s OPS+ this year? 92. He also plays SS and CF.

That can’t possibly be known. But, yes impressive nonetheless.

[mnfireman]

Caratini could have helped Prielipp out by challenging ball 4 ....

[Hubie29]

Keep Prielipp in until he blows it again. 

[Whammy]

Caratini wouldn't understand leverage if someone drew him a picture

Yes they are both crappy player who the Twins played way too often...

What's your point?

[tony&rodney]

That was one helluva outing by Prielipp.

I said Lewis is inconsistent, you are the one mentioning off of the team.  That is being a bit paranoid, as it is obvious Lewis is not going any where right now.

He still thinks of Lewis as a rookie so he has not choice but to hate him

Good for a 94 OPS+

They were back to back against Chapman with the Yankees.

Yes an OPS of almost 850 the last two months, that is pretty inconsistent, you are correct.
