    Offense showing signs of life again. Lewis could make up some ground right now.
  2. Western SD Fan
    Nice play by Lee/Lewis combo to get out of the inning.

    And he didn't even have to swing the bat to drive in a run. That's how good he currently is. Almost....Kreidler-like? 😉

    I'm ok with the team being near .500 as many people on this site would have called a .500 season a success before the season started. Being a rudderless .500 is frustrating. The White Sox are on the opposite side of .500 and seem to have a core that can play together. I don't see Zoll being gone until after the new CBA is signed.

    Unfortunately, that is the obsession with Gray being a LH bat. At the beginning of the season, we had too many LH bats. Now it seems like we don't have enough and Shelton is convinced that we need that extra LH bat in the lineup.

    Kreidler in CF is out of necessity since Buxton is out. You could have Fedko play CF, but Kreidler's bat is currently playing. When Culpepper is called up, Gray should see the unemployment line and Kreidler should be the backup SS/OF.

    Balls are flying out in Baltimore too. The White Sox have an 8-1 and chased the O's pitcher in the 3rd inning.

    There's always a chance they get back to .500. I've always said this is the perfect year to make low-wattage additions or apply a method of buying and selling pieces or acquiring extra lottery tickets. You're not looking for Aroldis Chapman. You're just looking for someone that doesn't immediately make you take glycerin pills when they enter the game. While bullpen help at the deadline is typically expensive, they just need to get someone who is better than Trevor Richards. That shouldn't be a monumental task. Some of that may come from within (Rojas) and some of them Zoll will have get creative on. We have movable pieces in Larnach, Bell, and Jeffers which could free up the likes of seeing Culpepper, Roden, and Jenkins. The good news is that the Twins have the 19th ranked SOS at .495 the rest of the season so there is always a chance.

    Unfortunately, they do not. In reality, the only pitchers left in St. Paul to call up would be CJ Culpepper, Rojas, and Klein. Rojas was just sent back down and likely will be kept there to build up his arm after just coming off the IL. Klein has had mixed results and likely isn't much of an improvement over Adams. Culpepper is the last person. Culpepper is currently not on the 40-man roster. I know that is a simple procedure to move someone to the 60-day IL, but it is still a consideration. I can see them not wanting to trip that wire until they absolutely have to (injury) rather than poor performance. Especially now that it appears that Banda is done for the year, Rojas will probably be the next pitcher called up when they feel that he has built his arm back up. That leaves Zoll and Company fighting the raccoons in the dumpster fire bin. Sans Gomez, that has not turned out well for us this year. When even our scrap heaps are being picked up (Lawrence by DC, SWR and Topa by Toronto), I'm not sure we want to fight the raccoons anymore.

    How Espada did not get tossed surprises me.
  11. Western SD Fan
    Caratini needs a mound visit to tell Adams. "Don't throw that pitch again"
  12. Western SD Fan
    The ball will find you when you are learning a new position.
  13. Western SD Fan
    Adams appears to be making an appearance sometime during the 8th as he was warming in the bullpen.
  14. Western SD Fan
    Now the fear begins. Where does Shelton get itchy and spin the Bullpen Wheel of Regrets?
  15. Western SD Fan
    I'm surprised you haven't changed your username yet to the Church of Kreidler.
  16. Western SD Fan
    I thought they hired Oscar the Grouch and his trashcan orchestra to supplement the fan noise.
  17. Western SD Fan
    He actually had to come in and pitch. With adding the stress of getting hot off the mound, he'll likely need a few days off to rest.
  18. Western SD Fan
    Good thing Gomez has warmed up the two previous days for a nice, tidy 9th inning.
  19. Western SD Fan
    Larnach was 1-3 with a double. You could have a better case if he was 2-3 or 3-3 with a couple of hard-hit smashes. It happens sometimes that the correct move doesn't always generate the result we want.
  20. Western SD Fan
    I know it didn't work out, but PH Bell there is the right move. Get a Righty/Lefty matchup and Bell has been our best hitter with RISP lately. He also is sort of used to just coming off the bench since he has been our permanent DH for awhile now. The only part that sucks is that we have burned him for the rest of the game in case we needed him.
  21. Western SD Fan
    Shelton knows it's Hammer Time with Kriedler. Can't Touch This!!
  22. Western SD Fan
    He definitely has made some questionable moves. We may have been under the illusion that finally ridding ourselves of most of the dumpster fire heaps would bolster our bullpen. Results may vary with the new guys. Shelton may not have the confidence in these guys, but he knows he can't burn out the better parts of the bullpen so you have to roll with them. That's what Rocco did. My questionable moves have been warming up Gomez each of the last two days and then not putting him in the game.
  23. Western SD Fan
    Good quality start for Preilipp. Now the offense needs to get him the win this inning.
  24. Western SD Fan
    I would guess after the deadline since Ober will hopefully be back and we can see where Abel will be. Paredes has been serviceable in the absence of everyone. Unfortunately for Paredes, the bullpen demands that he probably goes farther in the game than he should.
  25. Western SD Fan
    Good news for Kreidler. He got free pitches to see from Feltner last inning.
