    11 more to go. Let's tie this thing up so we need to find a way to get at least 6 more outs!

    The American League has several brutal teams and a team has to win each game. I think it's a rule.

    I'm not wasting my Sunday afternoon watching this nonsense. I'm not even going to type how many ways that this is ridiculous. This reminds me of the mid 90's. Maybe we can get Rich Becker and Scott Stahoviak to come back.

    In the era of 3 man benches, your standard bench players almost have to be a backup catcher, backup infielder, and backup outfielder. Slotting Mauer into a bench spot requires your backup cf, catcher, or ss into the starting lineup. Kepler could start and backup Buxton in CF if needed. Keeping Mauer would mean a bench of Mauer, backup IF (probably Adrianza), and backup catcher. Adrianza or Garver would need to play in the outfield to give an outfielder a day off and force Cave back to AAA. Seems like a pretty weak lineup. That's the real cost of keeping Mauer with a 13 man pitching staff.

    Time to make another call to the pen. Every ball is getting hit hard.

    Austin and Sano could hit a lot of home runs next year.

    Holy buckets. LLWS is bettering than this....sheesh.

    Man, Gonsalves needs to have really good location and pitch sequences with his stuff. He couldn't throw it into the ocean from a boat tonight. Hopefully that improves. It's hard to evaluate his potential due to his inability to hit his spots tonight, but it looks like he has a pretty good curve, cutter, and change. You could see righties struggling with that cutter. Having an out pitch against righties is huge for a lefty. Hopefully he can do a better job of commanding his pitches next time out so we can see what he can do.

    Great news!

    Have another beer Jorge...what a throw.

    Another slow pitch softball game tonight.

    Or DFA Erv. Give him a shot to go somewhere else and prove himself there. I don't want to see him in a Twins uniform anymore. I really want to see Gonsalves and Romero.

    Mauer was every bit is good as Machado is today. Hell, he was probably better. Mauer played a position with more attrition than Machado. That's why I would bet that Machado has a better chance of providing value throughout the contract than Mauer. I'm not saying that Machado is a better player than Mauer was when he was signed. Sorry if I was unclear. Not that it matters anyway. I seriously doubt that Machado will even consider coming here.

    Did you watch the game? He pitched terribly. He's lucky he got through 4 innings throwing that garbage. 88mph belt high fastballs shouldn't get anybody out. He kept throwing one after another. He has Bartolo Colon type velocity with terrible command. It sends a bad message to the team to trot him out there again. He has nothing left in the tank.

    Sign Machado and move Polanco to 2B. Trade Polanco when Gordon is ready. Move Machado or Lewis to 3B or 2B when Lewis is ready. Trade Gordon or move Sano to 1B to make room for Lewis. I know it's a pipe dream, but Machado will be worth whatever money is necessary to get him since it probably allows us to solidify the entire infield for nearly a decade. He shouldn't cost too much more than Mauer did with a much better chance of providing value through the entire contract.

    This is starting to look like a slow pitch softball game.
  17. Fargoguy
    He looks a lot slimmer/healthier in this picture than he did in April/May. That makes me optimistic about his future outlook.
