Troy's Twins Thoughts

- Jake Cave has no business being a regular replacement on this team. He ranks near the bottom in all categories and offers no upside.

- Call up Alex Kirilloff already. He isn't getting real at bats in St Paul, let him come up and play ahead of LaMonte Wade Jr.

- Brent Rooker is ready and able to replace a guy like Cave in the lineup. He has had better at bats and overall looked better at the plate than Cave and Wade.

- Rocco needs to stop resting perfectly healthy players. I'm sure Buxton and Donaldson wanted to play.

- La Tortuga is fun and had a nice hit today, but his defence as a catcher was horrific. 2 passed balls that may go down as wild pitches, but totally changed the game. There's a reason he got pulled.

- Rosario's baserunning mistake in the 5th changed the game. No reason to try for home with 0 outs in that situation. Great try on the HR by Castro.

- I really don't know what to think about the non ground rule double in left field. The ball hit in fair territory, then hit above the wall in foul ground, then came back into fair territory. I really don't see how that is a fair ball. I think the rule was put there for the overhang in right field.

Let me know what you think!
