It was nice of the Twins to bring Matty LeCroy back to play LF tonight.

Apparently Tonkin is too tall to be a short reliever anymore.

 

just warming up for my Twins GM interview....

Contract Notes:

Full No-Trade Clause

And even if they could trade him, they'd get nothing. His value has never been lower.

I guess Anthony's first order to the team was "Hey you idiots, Stop this winning s---!"

EDDIE !

The twins will definitely be interested in shoring up their rotation at the trade deadline.

hit these key notes and you will do fine:

 

consistency, clubhouse leadership, consistency, veteran leadership, presence in clubhouse, consistency, lovable

True story:  I was in the left field stands for Gagne's HR in game 1...and I was absolutely certain it was coming right to me.  It ran out of gas and dropped like a rock a couple rows in front of me, right on line.

I'm going to look on YouTube and see if I can see gomer pyle's face in the crowd.

Now, if only Sano knocks one out....

Nope, no HR, but remember, he uses strikeouts as a weapon :-)

1972  Danny Darwin Twins strikeout record:  145.  Something to look forward to  

Really, really, really can't leave Tonkin in for more than 2 innings.   

Man alive this is a beatdown

Find a way to move Joe Mauer doesn't mean "trade him." It means "move Joe Mauer" by whatever means necessary. Trading is merely one option.

Oh good, May is in

Oh Bert. This is more than a hiccup.....

Has he tried drinking water?

And the other options would be what?  No way Joe walks away from the 2 remaining years, $46M, on the contract.  I don't see the Pohlad's buying out that contract, either.  Not much left.

Hey, a run!  It's a start

So tired of hearing Dick glorify AJ that I turned it to the Braves feed.

Yeah I don't see any way of moving him, per se.

But, Mauer should be a bench player. I'm just not sure that Mollie has the guts to do so.

ZUKE!!!!

 

(Now we got 3)

.....

AXE

OH NO!!!   

AXE

And ye shall receive...

Any way we can stop discussing Mauer and whether or not he should be playing or traded, or his body dumped into the water with concrete bricks tied to his ankles?

 

This is supposed to be lighthearted thread.  There's many threads where one can discuss Mauer's ineptitude.
