Looking at Castillo's last five starts. Four shadows and one real McCoy. Hoping for another shadow this evening.

[Saxophone Joe]

Baby steps : Take 2 of 3 — rinse and repeat for the next four series. Better yet, sweep.

Anything is possible!

I'm really tempted to attend tonight to pick up the yacht rock hat... But I'm also going to the state fair this weekend and know I will be spending way too much money there.

It's almost as if the schedule maker is giving us the opportunity for a do-over.

Anything but Gaging a Jump.

If they don’t punish Castillo today lol

His only plus pitch results-wise is the changeup so if lefties hold off that, they should be able to punish everything else. 

He’s legitimately one of baseballs worst starters this year and that’s with playing half his games in Seattle’s pitcher friendly park.

He is ,  Twins need to go 17-11  just to finish .500  the way we have played ?- we have entered Last Call - Go Twins

[mrmpls]

When K.C. was called up i said i dont care if he hits under .200 Just wanted him to show in the field he belongs and fills a vital need this team needed, Young Man has so far exceeded what i thought . Now With Jenkins getting the call im hoping the same that he fills a giant need on Defense and just hold his own Batting .the talent says he will be a Big plus for a long time And i hope with K.C. and now Walker, And please give him a chance to hit Lefties , dont start a career with all the analytical b.s.    Good Luck Walker !!! 

[HarmonK03]

Noticed that there has been no corresponding move or moves for Walker yet.  Are they trying to figure out what to do with Buxton.

[MMBoys93]

I’m so out on Zoll, Shelton, Pohlad.

2 man bench moving forward, lol. Just insanity

Nope they announced. Roden down, 2 man bench until they decide to put Buxton on the IL in 3-5 days

Great, another half measure from this team.  There is no reason to keep carrying Jackson.

Pohlad needs to move on from Zoll today and bring in a real baseball executive to lead this team.  Let them come up with a plan and help sell that plan to the fans.  

[MMBoys93]

Twins 2 man bench most days will be

Caratini- .421 ops since all star break

Kreidler- .494 ops since all star break

Inept 

[MMBoys93]

Regarding Caratini, will the Twins ever learn that they can pay a backup catcher like 2 million to provide a .550-.600 ops?

I have been saying since Wednesday they were not going to put Buxton on the IL.  This is the same plan they keep running, let him get treatment for however many days and if it doesn't respond then they might IL him.

Otherwise they keep playing down a player.

[umterp23]

They DFA - woo-Suk-go, Optioned Roden to St. Paul

[Vanimal46]

Will Alex Jackson see another plate appearance before the end of the month? I share the deep frustration with purposely having a short bench. It's absolute madness.

Plus now you star eating at your 10-day window which you could already be on day 4 if you pulled trigger Tuesday night, day three Wednesday. He isn’t healthy plains and simple.

IL is retroactive up to 3 days, so they could IL buck tomorrow, bring Roden back up and it would be the same. 
today is day 3

This is the problem they have, he is definitely not 100% but who knows what percentage he is.  Yes I want him on the IL, but from my understanding they haven't done an MRI or other tests so there is no new injury.  So if you are going to put him on the IL he is going to need to agree to it.

He is a competitor and wants to help the team, Shelton needs to have a conversation that this isn't helping, him being in and out of the lineup.  The only silver lining is that we now have an above average CF to replace him.

They will not do anything before Monday is my guess, he is going to get treatment all weekend and than they will see how he is feeling.  Not what I want, but this has been how they have always operated.  This is another reason that Jackson should not be on this roster.

 Theo Tollefson:

Walker Jenkins will bat ninth and play center field for his MLB debut tonight. 

Kaelen Culpepper will hit ahead of him in the eight spot.

LFG!!1!

Roden down. Hmm.. didn't expect that one.. Jackson lives to catch another day.
