    The pitch calls are coming in from the dugout to the catcher.

    Here is a unique idea- how about you let the catcher call the pitches from behind the plate instead of the manager from the dugout. The catcher has a much better idea of the pitcher's stuff during the game than the manager. Case in point - last night after Ryan gave up 3 runs in 1 2/3 innings his headpiece quit working. At that point Caratini started calling pitches. Ryan pitched a scoreless 4 1/3 innings after that. I realize it's just a small sample size but with all the problems we are having with our bullpen perhaps it's time to put all the over analysis on pitch selection from the bench on hold and let the catcher call the game.

    I disagree about turning him into a utility player. Put him at one position, play him there every day, let him learn it and get comfortable at it. It will help sharpen his focus at the plate as well as allowing him to become a much better defensive player. I would play him at first base.

    Has it occurred to anybody that pitching coach Pete Maki might be part of the problem? Just asking.

    Bring him up and DFA Outman. Easy decision.

    Just like Baldelli we seem to have another manager who has no clue whatsoever how to manage a pitching staff. Seven pitchers last night - seven. There was no need to use 7 pitchers.

    Gee- just a month and a half ago the majority of the posters and writers on this web page said Lee was a bust. No defense, no offense. Send him down, 😂

    Good grief! His bat speed has increased but is still too slow, he extends his right arm too quick, he rotate a hair too early, his contact point is too far back, he’s not hitting for power, blah, blah, blah. How about this - his strikeout rate is 18%. That means he is putting the ball in play. I don’t care if he ever hits a home run. Singles and doubles would be just fine. If his batting average is .270 or higher and he drives in 80 or more runs who gives a damn. All this emphasis on hitting home runs is ridiculous. It is and has been detrimental to many players.

    I agree with you on the set up or closer role. I felt that the article was way too fixated on perceived flaws hence my sarcastic response.

    After reading this article I am left wondering how he ever made it to the majors. With all the “flaws” he has it doesn’t sound like there is any hope whatsoever for him to be a good pitcher. - no horizontal movement on his fastball -can’t get to the bottom of the zone - easy for batters to spot his breaking ball unexceptional carry on his fastball -low strike out rate - change up thrown at different arm angle and arm speed - uses a circle change grip There is no hope for this guy! 😂😂😂

    Omg- what will we ever do about Ober. Velocity is way down. Get rid of him. He’s washed up. His OBP, WHIP, LGBTQ, XXMP, FRPG, BS, and numerous other stats are horrible!

    Why play him at 3rd if he doesn’t have a strong arm? Seems like 2nd is more suitable.

    I'm certain that most everybody on Twins Daily will rip me a new one for this comment. Byron Buxton, David Ortiz and Nelson Cruz are just a few major leaguers whose career got off to a slow start. Yes, Lewis has been disappointing but it is way too early to give up on him. The talent is there.

    Wow- what a condescending jerk! You must be so proud of yourself!

    Do those stats take into consideration that your hitters are going up against the ace of the opposing team? I highly doubt it. A runner on 3rd has more ways to score than just a hit. Passed ball, wild pitch, infield or outfield error, sac fly, suicide or safe squeeze. I'll take my chances on 1 out and a runner on 3rd. Especially when my team is facing the other teams ace and our bats are cold.
