    I really don't see any place for Larnach for the rest of the season. He has hit below average in AAA and has been passed by Wallner. If someone else was needed to play outfield I think Austin Martin would be a better fit than Trevor Larnach. I'm disappointed that they are slow-walking Kirilloff's rehab and I wonder if it would be the same if the Twins were only or behind by a game or two.

    Sands optioned today.

    Glad to see that Varland will be brought up to work out of the bullpen. He might provide another power arm in September and October. Equally puzzled about the languid pace of getting players back from the IL. AK has played in four games in five days and is 7-18 with two homers in those four games.

    Phil Miller is reporting that Louie Varland is headed to Cleveland to replace Sands on the active roster. Mentioned elsewhere that no move is imminent with Kirilloff, who is 7-18 with two homers on his rehab.

    Phil Miller is reporting that the Twins are not presently considering activation of Alex Kirilloff. He also commented that Correa set a Twins’ record when he grounded into his 29th double play. Phil documented Gallo’s struggles—since his four hit game in Philly, he is 1-25 with 17 Ks and only one ball out of the infield. Before his four-hit game, Gallo had been 6 for 51. In total, he’s 11 for his last 80, with four hits and two homers coming in one game.

    Correa is having a miserable season, no doubt about that. He gets three hits today but hit into the rally-killing GDP. I’m sure his foot throbs a lot more after a loss. Vázquez has been a huge disappointment offensively and certainly no more than good defensively. Jeffers is far superior this year, but alternating seems to be the plan for the rest of the year. Of all the criticism leveled at Rocco, I think the most legitimate is his handling of the last reliever in the bullpen. It’s pretty hard to expect good results when Sands has been active well over half the season and this is the FIRST TIME he wasn’t pitching in a low leverage situation. Royce Lewis would be Rookie of the Year and get MVP votes if he played 150 games at the level he’s played. He might still end up being what many of us hoped Buxton would become. Alex Kirilloff homered for the Saints today, his second in two days. He left the game after four at-bats. I hope he’s on a plane to Cleveland right now. Austin Martin didn’t play—maybe he’s on a plane. Also I hope someone is coming up to replace Sands. Despite Maeda’s five-inning start, the BP is in pretty good shape heading into Cleveland. BTW, Cleveland has the lowest OPS in MLB against left handed pitching, so I think it’s good the Twins have three lefties in the BP for the coming series, although I’d expect Funderburk is out for tomorrow.

    Never could get over the hump today. Fully expect a Ranger walk-off.
  8. stringer bell
    Watch Vázquez get a meaningless single.
  9. stringer bell
    Two pitch strikeout?
  10. stringer bell
    Oh yeah, he can.
  11. stringer bell
    Not Correa, in a double play situation!!!!!
  12. stringer bell
    Your wish is Royce’s command.
  13. stringer bell
    Luplow has Hassan some good swings at hittable pitches, but has come up empty.
  14. stringer bell
    Honestly, I was kind of surprised they gave him the fifth. He danced with danger for his complete appearance.
  15. stringer bell
    I think we’ll find out. Louie Varland would be my (and @Mike Sixel) choice.
  16. stringer bell
    I would guess it is negative.
  17. stringer bell
    What is Vázquez’ WPA today?
  18. stringer bell
    Wow! Correa hits a DP grounder that turns into an RBI single. Things might actually even out.
  19. stringer bell
    Depends on usage. As infrequently as Sands has been used and in what spots he has pitched, it wouldn’t make any sense to waste Varland. Right here, right now, I’d rather see the kid from St. Paul.
  20. stringer bell
    Walking the tightrope.
  21. stringer bell
    Well, Sands gets the 6th. This marks the first time he has thrown for the Twins in a high or medium leverage situation.
  22. stringer bell
    What should be done with Maeda? If their BP was fresher, it would be a no-brainer.
  23. stringer bell
    Lewis!!!!
  24. stringer bell
    Gallo made (weak) contact on two consecutive at-bats. Progress?
  25. stringer bell
    I’m hopeful Kepler gets enough plate appearances to supplant Correa.
