    When Santana was called up, it was as a stopgap. At the time, he was healthy and on the 40-man. Since he arrived, he has hit well and fielded acceptably. He given us a glimpse of his two best tools--exceptional speed and a rocket arm. He's earned a longer stay (probably until he cools off hitting-wise) but Escobar has also been one of the Twins best hitters in the past ten days. Gardy is keeping a hot bat in the lineup most days and he's worked in BP at playing center. As I said earlier, right now I'd play Danny in center and send Hicks to AAA.

    And Perk closes it out with one fly ball for each outfielder.

    5-0 in rubber games. I was going to mention that the Twins were actually better off a year ago (18-17), but fell into a big funk from there.
  4. stringer bell
    I like Escobar and think he should get a chance to be the regular SS, but I think his drawback is lack of great speed and range for a guy without much power. He's hit pretty lustily this year, so maybe he has a bit more than a little power.
  5. stringer bell
    That was my point of "oh wait!"
  6. stringer bell
    Gardy going with Perk for a four-out save? Sacrilege! Oh, wait!
  7. stringer bell
    Well, if the Twins keep the lead this half inning, it will be an accomplishment.
  8. stringer bell
    Fien gets Torii, Miggy and V-Mart, Perk gets the bottom of the order. Sounds fair enough.
  9. stringer bell
    Is there any doubt that the call-ups are better hitters than the guys sent down (and Hicks)?
  10. stringer bell
    A tie is nice, but score that go-ahead run!
  11. stringer bell
    C'mon Plouffe!
  12. stringer bell
    Please Esco, hit a gapper. I want to see if Santana can catch Parms.
  13. stringer bell
    I don't care if there is no backup. You have to hit for Hicks here, right?
  14. stringer bell
    Pretty much agree, but the options are really limited. I think, for now, Mauer needs to hit #3 (move Plouffe down), but I really don't know who should bat #4.
  15. stringer bell
    Well, if that is all for Deduno, he finished with a flourish.
  16. stringer bell
    He's hit the ball harder than Kubel has lately, but has even less to show for it..
  17. stringer bell
    I'm starting to believe that if Santana has any type of instincts in center, I'd put him there and ride with Esocobar at short. My patience with Aaron Hicks is nearly "E" for empty.
  18. stringer bell
    Deduno strikes out Miggy and V-Mart. One more inning for Sam?
  19. stringer bell
    Bases loaded, double play grounder hit right at Escobar, the runner on second got hit by the ball. Gardy's asking for them to rule a double play. I don't know if they even can, but if they can I imagine it would be similar to allowing a runner to score from first on fan interference or a ground rule double--very rare. Crew Chief (Country) Joe West got in the argument and quickly thumbed Gardy.
  20. stringer bell
    With Avila's knee!
  21. stringer bell
    Regarding lineup choices: I heard Gardy's radio show. He said that Pinto will get DH at-bats and that he likes Santana. Santana looks better from the left side, so if he's going to miss a game today is probably a good one to miss. Gardy also said that they are serious about using Santana in center and they like what they've seen of him in batting practice. Any outfield with Colabello in it isn't a good outfield. I'd rather run with Nuñez in left 10 times out of ten than have Colabello in right.
  22. stringer bell
    The ruling of FC/E-4 made all the runs against Gibson to be earned runs. Tough break for him.
  23. stringer bell
    How many steps has Hunter lost? I know his defensive ratings in right field have plummeted, but not taking second when Kinsler swipes third?
  24. stringer bell
    While stolen bases against haven't been much of an issue, I believe Twins catchers were something like 1-18 throwing out base stealers. Not good, no matter whose fault it is.,
  25. stringer bell
    Not exactly how you want to start out a game. Put two on for Miggy and V-Mart with none out.
