 An we finally be done with Jake Cave?  Another great deal from our FO. 

As much as I agree with your comment 100%------knowing the way this front office operates-------Cave will continue to get ABs not only the remainder of this season, but will stay on the 40 man roster and will likely by our 4th OFer going into 2022.  Should that happen?  Absolutely not.  Will it happen?  What would make you think that our vaunted brain trust would take the necessary action to cut/DFA him?  Not the Twins way.  

"Let's do to the White Sox what we did to the Astros" ... Lol That was funny!!!!!

Trick question (kids, don't try this at home)

If Berrios pitches to Cruz, who do we root for?

?When the Rays play the Jays?

That is an easy one for me. No trick. Berrios. Home grown and never a roider.

9 runs down, 1 hit Through almost 7 innings. On national TV. Utterly embarrassing 

I don't wish any ill will on a young man like Burrows. We have what seven weeks of season left and I want to see that time used as wisely as possible. Let's take a look at young talent and move quickly and decisively. If a guy performs like this move on.

We made him throw all of 8 pitches in the 7th. Giolito should have a complete game here.

I just don't see the talent in the wings that you must see. The hopeful talent is all injured or in AA, and we won't see it in the next 7 weeks. What we are going to see, as far as the pitching goes, is filler and cast offs just to put a product out there for the rest of the season. I wish for better, but I am not fooling myself.

Maybe Joe Ryan......

Any update on Alcala?

Is there a record for the most sub-200 batters on a team ever?

Kepler needs to retire. Cave and Burrows should be released. Rooker should be demoted.

Send Jeffers out with them.

Ryan for sure, Moran, Cano, Hamilton Miranda and maybe Winder in a couple of weeks. Maybe even Strotman.

Bill Musselman

Just for the record.  I was not serious about Giolito getting hit in the forehead.  We all know, it's just a game.  However, we all know the funniest event on t.v, like on shows, Americas Funniest Home Videos, Ridiculousness, Bloopers, etc, is when the guy gets struck in the groin.

Well at least we didn't get shut out!!!!
