    Big opportunity to gain ground missed. Every loss now is a coffin nail. Sweep Chicago or go home.

    The Twins will host the Tigers for two more, with tomorrow’s game seeing Connor Prielipp (3-7, 5.55 ERA) face off with righty Troy Melton (7-3, 1.86 ERA) in the second game of the series. The post-game broadcast noted that Prielipp has been pushed back and Morris will get the start.

    This game should have been won. While ownership and management are rightly commended for their improvements to the pitching staff, the failure to acquire more consistent offensive punch (nevermind defense) is plain to see. They have to find it within the organization now, or their chances will slip away by this time next week. _If_ Buxton has to go on the IL again, we may get to learn if Walker Jenkins is ready for the bigs on both sides of the ball. Otherwise we're left with Fedko, Rodriguez, Wallner or scrounging the waiver wire.

    I like Audra. We could do much worse.

    Even MLB TV subscribers couldn't watch the live Netflix broadcast, they had to wait 90 minutes after the game for the re-spray. The same is true for all Apple TV broadcasts - if you're not a service subscriber you have to wait, or pay for both services. This needs to be smoothed out somehow. There is a second problem, however. The play-by-play and color commentary from those services are awful. It's clear that some of these people barely know the sport, and they certainly don't know the teams on the field. The Netflix broadcast team was insipid; the game had to be muted because the cringe and "doh!" factors were so high. If the league is going to farm-out broadcasts to a mix of carriers they need to set a quality floor on the personnel and the content.

    Agreed. Looked much more like a playoff contending team tonight. Keep the bats warm, roll the videotape of all the missed chances for outs today, and set up tomorrow's pre-game drills. Lucky we weren't hurt worse by those misses.

    Here are the team's season-to-date platoon splits. What they tell us is that we need a RHB who eats LHP for lunch. Gleeman and the Geek address this topic regularly (including in their recent trade evaluation) if you would like more depth.

    Tough call there, as neither he, nor Clemens nor Lewis are outstanding at the position. The durability of Arraez' legs has apparently improved from where it was in his later years with the Twins. Here are his defensive stats (Baseball Reference, may not include tonight's numbers) compared to Clemens (OBP .292, SLG .474) and Lewis (OBP .308, SLG .418). To be clear, my pick for a righty addition would have been Randy Arozarena.
