C'mon Escobar! A real center fielder would've had that one.

[kdrupp09]

Anyone notice, Correia's ERA is below 6 now.

 

Of course I say this, then Corriea gives up a 2 run homer. Nice call!

 

What are the odds Guierrer gets in today? 100%?

Forearm tenderness. Day to day.

[Boom Boom]

The other candidate would be Brooks Raley. The chances of him making it to Minnesota are rather slim, or should be slim. Although, with this management of the roster, you never know..

 

The bullpen's a little beat up right now, it might be time to call up another reliever.

Was... No longer

Day ain't over yet...

Brooks Raley DFA'd, claimed by Angels...

[LaBombo]

Yes. Whichever one is the best fielder and hitter.

[Tibs]

Well lost Brooks Raley to the Angels

[LaBombo]

Chris Hermann with a ground ball to the right side, for the 400th time in this young season.

Fangraphs says it's only the 382nd, but it sure seems like 400.

[kdrupp09]

Forearm tenderness. Day to day.

 

I may be dense, but is this intended to be a joke?

[Winston Smith]

Which player Raley or Matti G would likely be more of a long term player?

 

Seems like a bad move.

[John Kelsey]

Ehhh, not a fan of this Tonkin guy. Lets send him down to make room for Eddie Guardado.

[ashbury]

I may be dense, but is this intended to be a joke?

 

Sure hope so.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Holy cats, Tonkin is pitching

[LaBombo]

Which player Raley or Matti G would likely be more of a long term player?

The answer to this question, and all others directed at the nature of the Twins' roster decisions, is that you're not the Twins.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Nice wheels Santana

[John Kelsey]

Which player Raley or Matti G would likely be more of a long term player?

 

Seems like a bad move.

 

A 25 year old with a 3.68 ERA and 19 Ks in 14 IP or a 35 year old who picks up Gardy's kids from school?

 

Seems like an easy choice.

[Riverbrian]

Well lost Brooks Raley to the Angels

 

Is this actually true?

[ashbury]

Well lost Brooks Raley to the Angels

 

Who are the Angels dropping from their 40-man that we get?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Is this actually true?

Yes

[edavis0308]

Short, sweet, to the point:

 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Maybe they shouldn't drop Fryer from the 40... They'll lose him

[Riverbrian]

Santana behind the plate... It's time to send Santana... Ok a walk... Maybe next time.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good question: "Why didn't they first DFA him?"

[kdrupp09]

Holy cats, Tonkin is pitching

 

Quick call up another reliever, Tonkin won't be available again till June.

[Riverbrian]

Oh my... That was quick...

 

Raley better be terrible and Guerrier better be good.

[stringer bell]

Hermann is wishing someone would get healthy so he can go to AAA and face pitchers he can hit.

He could drive over to Fort Wayne. The Midwest League is closer to his speed.

[Brock Beauchamp]

They lost Brooks Raley.

 

To keep Matt Guerrier.

 

Okay, have at it, boys. I'm done defending anything this front office does right now.

 

Unbelievable. I don't even care about Brooks Raley but MATT GUERRIER?
