Bobby N:

Ben Ross is back in the Twins clubhouse. No roster move announced yet, but Kaelen Culpepper left Tuesday’s game with left hamstring tightness.

Culpeper to the IL, hamstring strain. That's likely it, huh.

Why not? Nothing we've tried lately is working. Hope Culpeper heals up this off-season.

Derek Sgelton, u think your proctecting Jenkins  -  you are gonna ruin him , , but yet you keep playing guys who have no reason to think they can help next year.  i hope you have the Decencey to talk to the kid , ,  your not helping him !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully Ross can at least do what Fedko couldn't and get his first career hit.

I'm wonder if inserting him as a pinch runner in some instances, such as Bell or Caratini on base (yeah I know, but it happens some times) to feel a little success. He's gotta be pressing. Or maybe that's a charity play.

So they have already decided to platoon Jenkins, this front office and manager need to go, don't wait until the end of the season.

100%  they ruin --  M.L,B Has a big article about Walker today,  shelton is not the answer for developing young players ,   time to clean house  , to loyal to older players who will do zip in 27

I don't like this 'Westopoplis' bit they keep advertising for on the radio. It doesn't sound authentic, it sounds like Golden Valley and St. Louis Park just hired a marketing team.

Nothing against those cities, but they're just your typical mid-century developed suburbs with business parks, big box stores and parking lots. It's not like they have fun, walkable mixed use commercial centers like Robbinsdale, Hopkins or 50th and France.

Let’s hope twin can win today!!! Do any of you think Shelton win get canned-what about zoll? I think major changes are coming this off season-we need to bring up youth movement and let them play next season! Any word on festa? Is he coming back next season? 

[Patzky]

Luke is on a little tear here this week.

Luuuuke is just a hitter ain’t he 

[Western SD Fan]

Another way to look at it is that the Twins have reached the evaluation stage of the season.  They already know that Jenkins will be part of the team next year.  What they don't know is the combination of players that will be with him, specifically Keaschall, Martin, and Emma.  There are still a few OF's that will have to be moved in the offseason to clear the logjam of "potential".

There's always a place for a singles hitter. So long as the subsequent batter can hit too. 

I think he's gonna be a line drive doubles guy eventually.

It's a nice thought.  As we're constructed now all three should also be on the roster, do you think..

[Patzky]

I didn't know Rodon threw this slowly.

There the Bell we need to ring. 🔔

They know a lot more about Martin than Jenkins.  This needs to be about Jenkins development and turning him into a platoon player is not going to help.

[Vanimal46]

Continuing to platoon Walker Jenkins when the remaining games are meaningless. Brilliant, Shelton. 

[HarmonK03]

Why did they not put Kreidler at 3B for Lee rather than musical chairs in the infield.  I thought he was our utility guy and he can't play third.

Lighting  bolt Luke

Seems like forever since we had a first inning run
