    I am guessing that the Twins sent Bailey Ober to St. Paul simply to rest him and to free up a roster spot. I don't believe that he will pitch again until he is recalled by the Twins.

    I look at Detroit and feel a bit stressed. I believe that they will pass Cleveland. I think of the 51 Giants or the 78 Yankees who were further behind than this in mid August and came back. I hope my fears are misplaced.

    Also the times of the games are wrong. The author says CDT, but used EDT times. The games start one hour earlier than posted here.

    I suggest that anyone who wants to find out what is really going on with BSN and their Sinclair pirate owners, to read Michael Rand in the StarTribune.

    Congratss to Andrew Albers. I hope I'm wrong, but the league has seen his act before and before long it will likely be " bombs away".

    Great article. In regards to Smeltzer, just because we don't protect him doesn't mean someone else is going to take him in the Rule 5. I view him as a AAAA player, but if he is not taken in Rule 5, then he gets another look in Spring training.

    I believe that the Twins have a lot to play for. They are professional baseball players and they want to advance their careers. Also this will give us a chance to check out some of our pitching prospects for next year. I am impressed they they are playing hard and want to win these games. If they could make it to .500 wouldn't that be grand.

    I may be one of the few who like Simmons for a team that wants to be respectable. He will probably win a gold glove again this year. Although his batting numbers are not good he has had many timely hits. Unless we have a major league caliber defender at shortstop for next year, I would bring him back if the price is right.

    Mark sounds like an amazing young man.

    Time of Jordan B. to be promoted to St. Paul
  31. Richard Swerdlick
    I wonder what Doug Mientkiewicz is doing?
  32. Richard Swerdlick
    If the Twins give Maggi a look then he may become this year's version of Niko Goodrum. So after he is DFA'ed again the Tigers will maybe sign him?
  33. Richard Swerdlick
    Can someone please tell me why Tomas Tellis never seems to be in the conversation whenever the Twins are in need of another catcher?

    Being 71 y.o. and a non drinker of adult beverages, I have discovered that I prefer listening to the games on the radio, and watching TV with the sound off, unless Jim Kaat is doing the game. Cory Provis is an exceptional announcer. Danny G is fine too. I have also discovered the wonderful announcing team for the dreaded Yankees, John Sterling and Susan Waldman. I am not a Yankee fan, but I greatly enjoy them. I have discovered in my old age that Target Field is too noisy, ( due to incessant PA system), the concessions way over priced, and missing the certainty and comfort of a game that A RETRACTABLE ROOF would have given us. Guess I'm just a grumpy old man. In a few weeks I will sample in person the delights of CHS Field. We shall see.

    So, I wonder with Wander ( couldn't resist), how is his defense??
