    Larnach has been a surprise & a lifesaver. I didn't think he was going to make that adjustment but he did. With (LHHs) Wallner & Julien down due to adjustments, Kiriloff injured now, Kepler streaky & Keirsey stuck in AAA we absolutely need Larnach's LH bat. Once they fix Wallner & Julien, try to keep Kiriloff healthy & free up Keirsey, I'm afraid Larnach could become expendable because he'd be on the bottom of the totem pole & he has some trade value.

    A broken back normally means spinal cord injury, fractured vertebrae is a different thing & lumbar stress reaction is another. If we trade for Luzardo (as I suggested) he becomes Twins's property therefore Paparesta becomes his trainer. I was not aware of stress reaction related to Sano & I couldn't find anything related. But I'm glad you stated that stress reaction isn't an acute type of injury.

    Like I've said from the beginning we have a great core (counter to what many have thought), a line-up that can really hit! Young players that are ready to really set the field on fire once given enough regular playing time. Not to mention Lewis or Larnach, Lee was born MLB-ready & hit the ground running. Miranda has played enough to start to rake but when Lewis comes back he'll play less & he deserves to play much more. Martin has played fine but he has been played sporadically & bats against RHP only. He needs to play more regularly for him to really get the feel of MLB. Wallner is locked & loaded & has shown surprising fielding talent. Kiriloff was mashing until OF had the best of him. Julien can rake once straighten out. Then we have Keirsey, who is long over-due to get his chance at MLB & Severino are mashing at AAA. I'm dying to see how they do. Some say that these guys aren't ready to play regularly & we needed Farmer, Margot & Santana but I beg to differ. these guys are ready to turn the MLB on its ear. Dump these guys & finally let these young guys loose. We were fortunate that Desclavani didn't stay limping around the mound blocking us to see how good SWR is, that Varland isn't ready for SP, he's needed in the BP & Festa a chance to get his feet wet & light a fire under him.

    Great job again Nick. I think it funny that the 2 games we lost was against HOU's BP game & DET's Montero which I thought would turn into a BP game but Montero surprised us & went 6+ innings. I advocated bringing up Varland to be available in long relief to help in case Festa needed to be bailed out, which he did & our BP blew up. I feel that there were so many ways we should have won that HOU heart-breaking game. One was having Varland available in long relief when Lopez was laboring instead of Winder & Funderburk. "Even the catchers have been heating up at the plate – Ryan Jeffers and Christian Vázquez combined to go 10-for-23 with two doubles and three homers, with Vázquez delivering a stunning walk-off blast on Sunday." I think it interesting that 2 of the 3 HRs were hit by Vazquez & Vazquez has out-hit Jeffers in the last month & a half or so including Jeffers recent rally.

    I do not doubt your knowledge, What I object is how you spin it. Broken back! Give me a break! The chronic stress of the bones if over-aggressively ramped up. I believe you left off if. Again there is no rush to ramp him up & I'm sure Paparesta will see to it.

    SWR didn't have control over his command in the beginning but hung in tough to finish strong. There was never any doubt in my mind that Lee was a MLer, & he showed it again today, Wallner looked really well both at the plate & in the field. I'm pumped for Vazquez who knocked in all 3 runs, Staumant had another superb outing this time in a higher-leverage spot. It's not unusual for a TOS pitcher to pitch a good inning after recovering but not much after 1 & I wouldn't press him. It's great finally winning a close game after losing so many lately. The policy is probably to stick in Margot whenever there is an LHP opportunity. Pitch-hitting Margot always backfires. I advocated trading Margot when he was doing alright, but now it's too late. We can still trade Santana before he regresses too much.

    Very happy for Vazquez! He deserves this
  8. Doctor Gast
    Looks like Vazquez saved you Chief, Good game you guys
  9. Doctor Gast

  14. Doctor Gast
    Stamant is impressive today!
  15. Doctor Gast
    WOW what a play by LEE!
  16. Doctor Gast
    SWR sure stuck in there & pitched tough
  17. Doctor Gast
    Seems like Wallner learned more than hitting. Nice read
  18. Doctor Gast
    SWR isn't as sharp today (command)
  19. Doctor Gast
    Seems like the ump isn't calling it both ways again
  20. Doctor Gast
    Santana at clean-up? Oh my!
  21. Doctor Gast
    Pitchers always hit players like Correa, Buxton & Miranda but not a Margot
  22. Doctor Gast
    Even after being put on the 60-day IL, teams are making offers on Luzardo & MIA is listening.
  23. Doctor Gast

  24. Doctor Gast
    Martin on IL with oblique strain
  25. Doctor Gast
    I saw Wallner in the line up earlier but can't find the counter move
