Very excited about this new guy, Jackson - can't wait to see what he brings to the club! 😉

Hope we don't get up 5-0, the most dangerous lead in baseball

Yes (Martin)! And you'll never guess who's on the way up (back) Alex Jackson. You can make this stuff up. Truly we haven't won a game since he left..

I'm a fool, so keeping hope alive.

This is probably hyperbole, but imo Shelty needs to manage these games like they're win or go home. Same with the players, obviously. Realistically, anything less than a series win against ATL and we're cooked heading into the West Coast road trip. Keep your head above water until the long run of divisional games at the end of the month.

I agree with keeping hope alive, but they are 6.0 games out of the Division. I think the WC is going to be the Twins only path to the playoffs this year. 

True. Though I suppose we can gain ground on one of the potential WC teams (Detroit) during that stretch.

So will Austin Martin and Allen Roden have to go on tge DL? Seems like bith guys are possibly injured. 

Yes (Martin)! And you'll never guess who's on the way up (back)

Alex Jackson. You can make this stuff up. Truly we haven't won a game since he left..

Unfortunately we never do get to see! Guess the new guy by the dugout fridge wasn't working out. Glad 70s back.

Hey, we don't need to win this game.  We just need an inconsequential single late in a losing effort, and that should be reason enough to celebrate.

Our two best hitters made it inconsequential. 😔

Alex Jackson???? Why???? Also Keaschall leading off is interesting but it does make sense with his hot bat. 

Really don't see Buck as a no. 2 hitter at the present time. Put your RBI guys there, Bell or Lee.

would Clemens in L.F. Kreidler  2b make more sense in how Shelty does his lineup or ? maybe he forgot Roden is a lefty , ,  do like Luke leading off but he wont be allowed to run cause it bothers  Byron    Anything worse than 3-3 b4 we get to the Central next week  and were done , still got a 9%  chance at playoff--Go Twins

I never would have thought Martin Perez would have what it takes to hang around for a good 15 years as a major league starter...

thought he was like 42  - only 35

I agree it's looking more and more like the Twins are circling in the water closet.

However, IMO, T-3 did the riight thing and got the team more help at the trade deadline. Now it's 100% on the players to get to the playoffs. Careful what you wish for, you just might get it. I just wish they didn't give up Dasan Hill.
