    I always enjoy watching the daily updates every night.

    Prielipp pitched really good in his debut. I just hope he can remain in the rotation and they can stretch his pitch count a little every start.

    Reach out to Boston about Aroldis Chapman. They are in freefall this season. They can even do it the Twins way and send better prospects to have Boston eat most of the contract.

    To defend Wallner he played against lefties and struggled. Launch isn't facing them. Clemens can play multiple positions, so that's why he's not being mentioned. They can't send Clemens down without clearing waivers. Outman is only a pinch runner basically and can't be sent down either.

    I prefer "asking" over telling them to change positions. Telling them they are changing could be extra pressure on then. The sad part now is that neither have any trade value besides a lottery ticket. They may both have enough service time that they can't be sent down without permission.

    Larnach's success could be that he's not facing lefties.

    If he batted right handed it would make it easier. Now the have to decide if they pull the plug on Wallner or Larnach. They could keep both and possibly move Wallner to full-time DH. I honestly would have sat down both Wallner and Larnach after last season got over and asked them to consider playing first base. It's pretty odd that you wouldn't think about trading or releasing anyone but Wallner or Larnach. Outman brings speed off the bench, Clemens can play multiple positions and they only have Caratini and Bell who can also play first. Tendering Larnach a contract may have been a mistake.

    Give him the Zebby Matthews treatment and demote him to the bullpen.

    I can agree with that, but pulling the plug after 3 starts is foolish.

    A pitcher doesn't need to throw in the upper 90's to succeed. Hitters can time a pitch, it's more about the location and changing speeds. Just look at Aroldis Chapman in the Boston series. Hitters were looking for the upper 90's to 100 and made them look foolish with an 86 mph slider.

    I would disagree with making a switch now. He has struggled but he's only had 3 starts so far. Pulling the plug on him now would be a mistake. If he's moved to the bullpen in St Paul he will not be throwing enough to hopefully snap himself out of his current funk. I would think part of his struggles are a mental thing right now. He was in the majors last year and didn't make the team this year. That could have him doubting his stuff. He should keep working on it in St Paul and if he continues to struggle into June then you either move him to the pen or send him down to AA. It could mentally ruin him or be the motivation he needs to turn it around.

    Seriously going to use Taco Tuesday as a headline for two Latin American players. I may be overreacting but we don't any racist type headlines here.

    The team will not be sold until the potential lockout is resolved this offseason.

    To be honest, lets all just ignore all Pohald nonsense until after the possible lockout this offseason. They will not be even trying to sell the team until the new labor agreement is signed. The teams value will be greater then. So sadly we all have to wait quite a while for a new ownership group. I can't wait for them to be gone from Minnesota.

    If it went to the 3rd or 5th inning it would be great.
