    Cheap double.
  2. stringer bell
    Buxton and Castro (and now maybe Lewis) are the only ones who could score from second on that single.
  3. stringer bell
    “Man” I dislike that Menard’s commercial and the smaller guy looks like he’s in High School.
  4. stringer bell
    Good job Sonny.
  5. stringer bell
    Big PA right here.
  6. stringer bell
    Ump has squeezed Gray this inning.
  7. stringer bell
    Royce just missed it.
  8. stringer bell
    I see the ‘Stros are wearing their softball unis.
  9. stringer bell
    He does, but he’s not on the 40-man roster.
  10. stringer bell
    Does anyone know if they brought an extra pitcher with them to Houston? With Pagán unavailable and an IL possibility, it makes sense to have sn extra BP arm on site.
  11. stringer bell
    Related query: how long can they keep Celestino on the 60-day IL? The original recovery time for the injury was 6-8 weeks and it has been close to three months.

    Kepler (I think) is now only a right fielder, much like Buxton is only a DH. Kepler and his mediocre offense and good defense, is a roster problem. He’s a major league veteran with a lot of time on this team, but it sure looks like his time is almost up. It’s easy enough to say “send him to center field” or use him as a fourth outfielder, but I doubt it’s that easy in practice. Wallner and Julien (and Castro) have all shown ability and also made misplays that cost the team. The experienced players that could/will supplant them most likely make fewer mistakes, but maybe don’t add production that these guys might provide. It’s far better to have the likes of Julien, Lewis, Wallner and maybe Miranda ready to step in than a bunch of AAAA players.
  13. stringer bell
    No announcement on the move to make room on the 40-man roster for Lewis?
  14. stringer bell
    Much like Wallner, I think Julien will be demoted when Polanco is activated. The real test will be when Larnach is ready to be activated (barring more injuries).
  15. stringer bell
    Wallner did a lot in his short stay on the active major league roster, more good than bad. The unfortunate thing is that he is a one-position corner OF and for the near future there isn't a DH slot to put him in. Also, the window for Larnach is closing.
  16. stringer bell
    Concur.
  17. stringer bell
    I'm hopeful we'll see some changing of the guard in the composition of the Twins active roster. Adding Julien and Lewis and utilizing Castro might add a bit more of a base stealing dimension to the team, especially if Buxton is able to and allowed to run. For now, with Taylor's long hitting snag, I would hope that Castro gets more reps in center field. He's certainly swinging the bat too well to be on the bench. His OPS+ is currently 113, while Taylor's is 81.

    I don't think Gordon will be playing for some time--August at best, next season at worst. Depending on how many are injured, there may not be a place for Nick when (and if) he is ready to play to this year.
  19. stringer bell
    Lewis has played in consecutive games and is playing the full nine innings, so I think he could be added on Friday.
  20. stringer bell
    Maeda is going on rehab assignment on Tuesday, so he isn't going to be transferred. The candidates in my mind are Gordon and Alcala.
  21. stringer bell
    This has aged very well. All three have performed very well since this article was posted. De León and Moran have put up zeroes and Castro had a two-homer game.
  22. stringer bell
    Four hit game. First for a Twin this season?
  23. stringer bell
    No outfielder could have caught that.
  24. stringer bell
    Great throw by Wallner. Not sure if he could have caught it, but the throw makes that a moot point.
  25. stringer bell
    Kiermeier probably catches the Castro drive, I don't know about Wallner's shot.
