I mean he would be playing second base right now if he weren’t also bad at that 

By that metric, Koskie would have never played a second season with the Twins.  Sometimes players do need some time, and he has played 125 games there, seems like a short leash.

Would love to see some signs of life from Buck here.

Yankee pinstripes may be bad luck

Just another soft-tossing righty baffling the mighty bats tonight.

Aaron Nola and his yearly whip of nearly 1.5 making light work of us 

Nothing unusual with that.

[SS MagicMark]

That's why they call it the hot Corn-er.

Soft tossers are our kryptonite.

Culpepper looks over-matched at the plate right now. Chasing too many bad pitches, non-strikes.

Nor would have Plouffe. He has told the story many times that TK was thisclose to sending him back down because of his defense.

Nola about done

He's pressing to make something happen, just needs to settle down.

I’m not saying get rid of the guy. But his defense has cost us two games over the last week, barring a comeback 

[Patzky]

Hope Bell can conquer the knuckles. Maybe he won't have to

Tonight was not on him, that ball was over the fence.  At least his bat compensates for some of the defensive flaws.

[Patzky]

Sacks full. Now what do we do?

[wesnewy]

Ok Lewis. Just play within yourself. No need to swing at bad pitches

[wesnewy]

Old Royce. Ugly.

[Patzky]

Could not lay off that pitch all night.

That's funny, it sure looked like it bounced off his glove to me

[Patzky]

That was our Back In.
