Lewis back for the NYY game would be wonderful. You share my sentiments, It'd be nice to see what Prielipp has, finally

Thank you so much for the work you guys put into this! I'm even excited about players that didn't make the list, like Mercedes, Keirsey, Cespedes & Cardenas. These guys have really improved & my hope is that they can sustain it until they reach MLB. It's exciting to see some of our low draft SPs like Matthews doing well. Emma responding well to AA & excelling. Injuries to Jenkins, Lee & some of our pitchers has cooled us off a little (still haven't seen much from Prielipp yet). But once they're back & excelling, the excitement will return. But IMO as I've stated before, Gonzales is very overrated. He has a great arm & contact skills which excels in the lower minors but how will that play out in the upper minors? He has shown some raw power potential for his age but he has already filled out & I doubt his HRs will increase that much. The Twins will try to convert him like Astudillo but I doubt they will & most likely goof up his feel for the bat. He'll have to hit a lot of HRs to make up for his lack of speed & defensive prowess for him to stick at RF at the MLB level. My advice is to trade him as soon as possible for a decent SP before his rating bottom out. I like to point out that our highest ranking catching prospect is at #20 Olivar. I've been very high on him but now I doubt he has the arm to stick at catcher. Another higher ranking catcher prospect Cossetti can hit but doesn't have the defensive chops to stick at catcher on the MLB level. The only defensive catcher I like that can handle MLB is Noah Cardenas. He is still a ways from reaching MLB. These prospects we need to back-up Jeffers very soon. Catching is a premium defensive position, we need to wake up to see how poor we are in depth here.

I saw SWR pitched the 1st inning, he looked pretty good. Why wasn't he allowed to complete the 5th?

This has been discussed before & my answer is still. I was against adding anyone to 1B & having Miranda platoon against LHPs. I knew he would hit, that's where he should be. IMO it could be a good idea to have Miranda sub Lewis whenever he needs it even though Castro is a better 3B. But that situation will become less & less. He could pull some DH away from Jeffers & Buxton but the main focus again is 1B if Baldelli can pull Santana away from 1B.

Absolutely they shouldn't

With all the OF talent we have, it easy to see how he got squeezed out & the demotion didn't sit well with him I guess.

Let's keep up the momentum & win the series!

Consistency is the trick, not too high, not too low. Like in the past, the Twins tend to hang unto their mistakes too long. Resulting in too many losses & not enough wins.

It was a great effort from Varland, Alcala, Keirsey & Martin in AAA. Hope that all 4 will be brought up soon & that Wallner is getting proper help there. I was surprised that Willie Jo Garry Jr. was released, I thought he had some promise.

Buxton was hesitant to touch the sausage but when he did he really let loose. I was worried about the sausage negatively affecting the players like Buck admitted. But maybe the other hesitant players need to drop their inhibitions about the sausage & embrace it. Well maybe at least touch it.

Ryan pitched a pretty efficient game. I thought he had a chance to pitch a complete game. He had a lot of support. Without Lewis we need Buxton to at least to beat these winnable teams. Now we can focus on winning.

Ryan is still on pace for a complete game.

That's what we need from Buck more often.

Everyone has hit except Jeffers & Castro, so far, let everybody hit tonight.

Great job Miranda! Looks like we're alive.

Margot really pounded that ball. He got a hit anyway.

Alright there you go!

Ok Farmer start turning it around!

Great job Buck! Again if only someone was on.

12 pitches, if Ryan keep this up he can easily pitch a complete game.

Twins are making the Nats look good.

Great job Correa! If only someone was on.

DC got a gift with margot leading -off.

I didn't believe it! I had to double-check! When they are wrong they keep doubling down. Hoping something changes.
