Shelty did say he can do it all,     total Joke he is even here

My wife liked the move because this is the move that now has me seriously considering not renewing my season ticket package.  I have always had it because I enjoy baseball, but this front office is sucking out all of the joy of watching them.  Shelty has the team at least playing a more enjoyable brand of ball this year but this move could be the straw that broke the camel's back.

He can do it all and he sits on the bench and does nothing. The Jackson Paradox. Nothing is disproven.

Manfred man plays more than him

did he even go on waivers ?  if he did no-one wanted him ,  Funny deal

He cleared waivers and it was the second time this year that he has cleared.  But the Twins are smarter than every other organization in baseball, the ghost of Falvey lives on.

Well, maybe atop the 3rd wildcard. Not likely to displace either the Rouge Stockings or the New York Hanky-pankys at this point.

Remind me how the play offs go? NY and Boston would facing each other right? And the last wild card place would go up agains the worst devision leader, which by record at least, sounds preferable?

 

PS How come all of the AL east are in the play off discussion?

If only we had a real CF to play there when Buxton needs the day off, I wonder if that should be Jackson's role.

Absolutely agree - Kreidler should have been in CF tonight since Buck's out.

Kreidler should be thankful he is even in the major leagues and needs to stay in the IF, he is not an outfielder.

"We need a real Center Fielder to play when Buck's out!"

*Lists real Center Fielder who is on the Roster*

"No, not that one!"

Pretty simple ERod or Jenkins because one of them should be on the roster and  not the anchor Alex Jackson.

Last one for this year.

Until the WS of course.

What are the Braves doing, they are using a catcher as their DH without a 3rd catcher on the bench, they are so reckless.

We are all very well aware of your ability to be critical!

A win by the TWins would be nice.
