WTF Eddie. Gio has shown he doesn't have command, and you chase that on the first pitch. 

[USAFChief]

I didn't really miss Rosario.

He is fundamentally unsound. We see it every game on offense or defense. Yes, he's also going to smack some around the park but, Jeez, how about some discipline!

[USAFChief]

 

Wonder if the Twins would have any interest in Abreu during the offseason...

I think I'd rather they find a 3rd baseman and move Sano to first.

[Squirrel]

Okay ,,, cmon big Mike!

He's also not a former Ranger or Indian, so the FO probably wouldn't have any interest anyways.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Sign him to play first... Professional hitter who has been a top 10 run producer since he's entered the league.

 

He's getting older, and worse, each of the last two years. This team is DESPERATE for pitching next year, and putting money into a declining first baseman seems like a really bad idea.

 

Find a 3B and move Sano (as Chief suggests) or move Garver or Kiriloff (who was getting time at first this year).  Or take a flyer on someone younger. but no way I spend real money on Abreu given their needs and budget.

 

I mean, I get the idea, it's just not who I'd choose. (neither is Cron)

More TDers on the thread, or more people in the stands?

Yes

Not sure I get this lineup. Bottom 3 all have poor numbers vs RHP. While arguably the 4 best the Twins have vs RHP are ALL on the bench.

Giolito has reverse splits. Scratched my head at it too.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm just glad they weren't the free game of the day over the fugly uniform weekend....

[ScrapTheNickname]

The White Sox went the worst broadcasting team (wtih Hawk) to the best!

Hands down, in my opinion (naturally).

[Nine of twelve]

I'll bet there is at least one person who is both.

[Puckett34]

SCHOOP!!!!!
