More double play fun.

[HarmonK03]

Pitcher's struggling to throw strikes, so Bell swings at the first pitch.

That’s the veteran presence this team needs to lose 85 games 

[SE23]

At least Royce hit that pitch the right direction.

Now now.  90 isn't mathematically out of reach.

And they say they can't find at bats for ERod.

[SE23]

I just realized also, that with the Kernals finished for the year, Matt Canterino's comeback season ended after one inning.

[Vanimal46]

Question of the night: Are we happy that Josh Bell has locked down the DH spot all season for $7 million and change? 

[mrmpls]

Ive seen all i need to of Bell in a Twins uniform ,  biggest issue is Derek Shelton has a thing for him,    let it go Derek,

Maybe he earned a promotion to AA where he can pitch another one.

No, especially when he was signed to be the first baseman.

Am I happy if that means he won't put on a first baseman's mitt next season? Yes.

He hasn't been great lately, but we probably got our money's worth out of Bell this year. Don't want him back in '27.

Lost opportunity cost though when we signed him, if he is not here, I am guessing ERod makes the opening day roster and we at least know more about him.

He had a 6-8 week stretch where he was great… the rest of the time it’s been meh at best.

which is what they said,--  and Shelton knowing him as well as he did , makes the Twins look even more foolish      

[Patzky]

A few sharplys means Shelton needs to monitor the Kremer situation next inning.

A sum total that would have qualified for 45th place in the majors last season.  W00t!

That's been my point since we signed him, especially when people try to defend Falvey.

7mil for 80-90 RBIs happy.  Inability to play 1B not happy.

Culpepper I believe you are learning something tonight.

[Patzky]

Watching us hit is such an exercise in peaceful frustration.

That is what this year should be about.

Hopefully someone is getting warm.

[Patzky]

Caden Kendle HR (10). Him and Winokur might make '28 fun.
