    Many of us think Gladden shouldn't have a regular radio gig either...

    I believe Provus and Atteberry both tested positive during last week and were removed from the booth during the Tiger series for that reason. I don't think the governmental policies of Canada came into play.

    I know this is going off-topic, but...LF is where your least-talented fielder plays. (See Young, Delmon and Willingham, Josh.) First base requires a good glove but not a good arm or good speed. Lewis' talent would be under-utilized at either position, and we want to get the most out of our players. If Correa, Buxton, and Lewis are all on the roster going into next season something has to give, probably via trade.

    Berrios is an underachiever. Watching him pitch via a center field camera I am amazed at the crazy movement he can get on his pitches. It sometimes makes me wonder how anyone ever gets bat on ball. It seems to me that he should dominate on a frequent basis but that rarely happens. I've never understood why, but that's how it has always been with him.

    And at the end of the week, a winning day.

    Has Rocco said why he didn't start Gordon in CF instead of Lewis, a player with very little experience in that position?

    I have not seen a game at PNC park. I have read that many baseball beat (and other) writers from across the country have the opinion that it's the most beautiful baseball setting in the majors.

    Per Phil Miller in the StarTribune: https://www.startribune.com/twins-preparing-for-weekend-series-in-toronto-with-replacements-for-unvaccinated-players/600177535/ I have only one comment:?

    I choose not to panic until we find out the extent of the problem.

    Home plate umpires are consistently inconsistent. Humans suck at calling balls and strikes.

    I don't think we have to designate either catcher as #1.

    If we had an icon for agree but don't like that's what I would use.

    I wish there was an icon for agree but don't like.

    At the time I write this the AL has 6 teams better than .500 and 9 teams at or below .500. Of those 9 teams only Chicago seems likely to challenge the other 6. If Chicago does not get it going there won't be much suspense in the 2022 regular season.

    Smeltzer has to be almost perfect every game in order to be a satisfactory MLB starter. He has a low-velocity fastball and his other pitches are good but not great. He needs to have pinpoint control and find a way to make hitters look for a pitch other than the one he throws. There is little to no room for error. There will be nights like last night where the opposition does nothing and there will be nights where the opposition scores early and often. That said, I think he is one of our top 5 starters. Moreover, I think it's important to have at least one lefty in the rotation and he's the only one we have who is MLB-ready. We should start him every fifth game and hope for the best.

    In this case Gordon became the DH when he pinch hit for Jeffers, who was DHing. No player who is playing in the field can be moved to DH. If the DH is moved to the field the team loses the DH and the pitcher (or a pinch hitter) has to bat from that point on.
  18. Nine of twelve
    No. Jeffers was DH.
  19. Nine of twelve
    He held up to make sure the ball was going to fall in.

    To the woman sitting behind home plate: if your mask doesn't cover your nose you might as well not be wearing it.
  21. Nine of twelve
    OK boys, make them pay for the error.
  22. Nine of twelve
    The Royals have followed a trend of incorrect names on jerseys for players named after their fathers. The player's last name is Witt. His last name is not Witt Jr. The Jr. is part of his given name, not his surname.
  23. Nine of twelve
    I never know whether Smeltzer is legit or smoke and mirrors that will dissipate after a few more outings.

    No such thing in a game thread.
