IDK if it’s age or just a slump, but JD is really hurting the team. 

Agreed.   He just collects his paycheck.

Oops, Pérez is the DH. Cameron Gallagher is catching. 

Nah, that was just my stone keyboard posting stuff, there.

Error, Joe would have had it

[Irishman]

Why not putting Donaldson in the 7th or 8th of batting order instead of 2nd.   

[stringer bell]

I predict Kepler goes to the IL for his injury. He can’t seem to shake the hamstring issue. I wonder if they add another outfielder.

I don’t know boss, why not?

Because there aren't five or six Twins batters doing better this year?

Pointless Post: JA Happ and Rocco could be brothers

[stringer bell]

Hernandez couldn’t find the plate with a searchlight and map last inning and then throws two breaking pitches on the black and a 97-mph fastball on the outside corner.

Hilarious!!!!

[stringer bell]

Nice innings from Alcala and Duffey. 

[ashbury]

I was convinced for a long time that Polanco didn't have the arm for short. It never occurred to me that he doesn't have the arm for second. But it looks more and more that way.

If they do they need a real CF

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Umm...

[shortround81]

[wavedog]

Rogers didn’t have any inherited runners to let score so he thought he would give up a couple of his own and then knuckle down

[LVTwinsfan]

Nice

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Winner!

[ashbury]

Chicken dinner.  I guess.

[stringer bell]

Robles has a had couple of those saves. 
 

Rogers seemed to pitch with some anger after letting Mondesi go deep. 

[denarded]

Josh Donaldson...D.O.A. Glad we made the signing, but boy howdy this has been terrible. Next 2 years.....Yeesh

[ChiefsKid]

Never a doubt.
