Twins 3, Tigers 6: Twins Home Runs Not Enough to Stop Tigers from Roaring

Noah Davis is pitching himself off the roster.

Julien with another shaky game in the field. I am looking forward to Keaschall taking over at 2nd. 

Perez was sitting on a breaking pitch. Adams had him set up for a fastball. Tough break there.

Julien keeps showing why he's not a major league.  Hopefully Buxton is back soon to maybe pit just a little life onto the team if that's possible

Noah Davis??  Really??  I know we're only pretending to want to win, but c'mon Falvey.  People pay good money to watch a major league game....at the very least give them major leaguers.

I thought Adams pitched really well.  A lot to be encouraged about.  A bummer giving up that Home run, but even so it was still a solid outing.  Loved the K's he was getting.  Hopefully he keeps it going and the Twins can say they found something.

Nice to see Larnach and Wallner with Home runs.  Some improvement with the bat for both of them would go a long way next year.

On to the next one as guys get more experience they should know who can help next year and who can't.

Adam’s took full advantage of the opportunity. He was pounding the strike zone and seemed to be on cruise control until the home run.  Other than Martins 3 for 5 night, maybe the best performance so far by the minor players auditioning for the big leagues.  
 

Whose chances at the show are done- Julien Gasper

not ready for the show - Davis and Kiersey

Not trending well- Roden

All of a sudden nothing to play for and Larnach, Wallner and Jeffer start hitting.  

Sadly one doesn't realize just how many solo HRs it takes to be competitive.

He should be DFA'ed tonight.  Absolutely HORRIBLE!!

Fitting, given he doesn’t appear to be a Major League pitcher. 

Up 1 in the 6th is not a good time to take a look at Mr. 18.00 ERA!

Scripted in advance again by the genius manager.

Rocco just needed to know Bailey Ober's 4 batting practice HRs were a fluke due to facing Davis, or maybe we stumbled onto our 1B!

I do, and the answer is "more".

It is always more...

If CO doesn't want him, heck, maybe we can do something with him. (I'm being facetious)

Some think baseball is an HR derby, the one who hits the most HRs wins. It's not. Some think it's Fantasy Baseball, driven by HR bias stats. It's not. Thank God, baseball is far more intricate & interesting; influenced by the human element, interaction & experience. That's why we must get kids into baseball for that human element. Otherwise, we can sit them in a corner & give them a cellphone to play with. If we reduce it to only stats, that's when we get flat & into trouble. IMO, baseball needs to be something organic, spontaneous, & individual, not something cold & uniform. Sorry for getting carried away.

Noah Davis has taken over Wentz role in the bullpen but has taken it up a notch - Tigers were lined up to take the next shot - what a hit show - fortunately a runner was thrown out on the bases.  We can't bring Abel and Bradley up to the big league team because they need tweaking but Noah Davis is just fine to throw in there with a one run lead.
