    Culpepper is playing 3B today for the Saints. Giving him a look at multiple positions is possibly the final step prior to a call up the majors so he can constantly get playing time while riding whichever hot hand of Arcia, Lee, or Gray in the lineup. According to the MiLB page, he has previously only played 12 games at the hot corner so a little extra seasoning wouldn't hurt. As for who you choose? You'll have to choose one of them to at least hold the place until Houston is ready since he is currently the best SS in the organization.

    Just got a recap of all of the corresponding moves made today: Lewis optioned to St. Paul. Topa DFA'd off of the roster. Jeffers put on the IL with a hamate bone fracture. Acton put on the 60-Day IL Jackson being called up to replace Jeffers. Arcia called up to replace Lewis. Adams being recalled taking Topa's spot. Analyis: Bowman looking more likely to just be released from minor league contract. Still holding out on Buxton to see if he will come back or will IL him prior to going to Boston.

    Rumor from the Skor North Twins Show is that Jeffers suffered from a fractured hamate bone. Jackson will be called up today. More 40-man moves coming.

    This was the sweet spot I was looking for! Just bad enough that they had to DFA him, which they did, but not bad enough to cost us the game!
  5. Western SD Fan
    Not really. Orze definitely deserved the win. He likely rescued the game from disaster.
  6. Western SD Fan
    It is the Twins vs Astros bullpen. Twins are #28 and the Astros are #29.

    We need Topa to get mildly creamed. Like give up 2 to 3 runs creamed so we can still win the game.
  8. Western SD Fan
    Did Topa go visit the Greek life at U of M during the rain delay? He's pitching like he drank an entire kegger.

    We could use a long fly ball from Bell. Leaving the park not necessary.
  10. Western SD Fan
    I probably would be easy with Alvarez. Don't need to give up anything to him. But you have to get the next guys out.
  11. Western SD Fan
    With the lengthy delay, we will now have to see how long Sim will go. Prior to the rain delay, I would have guessed he would piggyback off of Rojas and try get through the 7th.
  12. Western SD Fan
    I'll save everyone the wondering. They pulled a Twins and didn't score.
  13. Western SD Fan
    I guess having Gomez come in 3 games in a row is too much. Garcia is our freshest reliever left in the pen. Let's hope we don't need that insurance run.
  14. Western SD Fan
    I would agree. The pitcher knew he could throw that pitch so high that it would land in St Louis Park and Lewis would still swing at it. It is getting to the point that this is a manager problem as much as a Lewis problem.

    Bradley went 1 2/3 and 42 pitches giving up 1 run, 2 BB, 2 H, and 3K. I would suggest that he will need at least one or two more rehab starts to build his arm back up.
  16. Western SD Fan
    Nice play by Lewis in the field.
  17. Western SD Fan
    I agree that anytime you can get at least a serviceable starting arm for a reliever it's a victory. Before the injury, Bradley was definitely trending towards being a better than serviceable starter. On a separate note, the Rays are working on turning Jax back into a starter. He has made 4 starts this season and getting farther into the game each time with his last start going 5 innings.
  18. Western SD Fan
    I look at that infield single in the 1st. I think if Royce was going right, he makes that play where there was little chance that Lee could make it in any case. It does appear, that like Wallner did, he is taking his struggles at the plate out to the field as well.
  19. Western SD Fan
    I am hoping that if/when they decide to send Lewis down, they will also instruct him to pick up a 1B glove and take some reps over there. Provided Culpepper sticks, that will likely be his one spot to stay on the team and maybe develop a little more trade value as he can play multiple positions if the Twins do end up writing him off.

    I know it has been tough with the bats this weekend. The bullpen has done their job this weekend. The starters have done their job. Coming into this series, I have expected the Brewers to bang balls off the Target Field walls like they did to us last season. The pitching has kept the Brewers in check for the most part. I can be disappointed in the results, but we have been in every game, and I'll take that as a small victory.
  21. Western SD Fan
    You're right. They still did lose the next six games, but like you, I'm willing to take a chance it may work this time!
  22. Western SD Fan
    Heard a story from Gladden on the radio earlier this week about, when the entire team was in a slump, they gathered all the bats together in the dugout, threw them in the dumpster, and lit them on fire. Not sure it worked, but I would say it's worth a try right about now.

    Cory talked about it with Molly. Molly said that it would be a tough play for the runner as you don't know if the ball is going to fall or not. Molitor may not be as critical about plays as Trevor Plouffe when he is on color, but he will point out things that he sees. The very next inning he said that Larnach should have called off Lee on the fly ball since Larnach's momentum would have carried him in with Chourio on 3rd.

    Ober has now thrown the last two complete games, both with 89 pitches in a game. May have to think about calling him the RH version of Jamie Moyer. Great to see another day with zeroes from the bullpen chart! Fun fact not related to today's game: Cal Raleigh finally breaks his 0-36 hitless streak tonight. His last hit - a homerun off of Andrew Morris.
  25. Western SD Fan
    Looking at Pablo in the dugout, he almost looked happier than Ober about his accomplishment.
