I sure question the way closers are used these days. Lopez, who is supposed to be our best reliever (I guess) has the least amount of pitches thrown in the last 5 days, except Davis the new guy. Is this maximizing your best players?
5 of the 9 Twins starting lineup today consisted of players not expected to start too many games for the Twins this year. Makes it tough to win, especially against the Evil Empire.
I think Jeffers was placed on IL July 15th with 60 days making Sept. 13th possible return date.
Larnach was IL'd retroactive to June 24th, with 60 days gone past making him available whenever he is healthy enough to be added back to the roster.
Spencer Steer debut with the Reds: 2 for 2 with 2 walks, a homerun, a double and scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Not a bad 1st game in the bigs.
