Corner OF is/was where the Twins’ prospects are/were—Rooker, Kirilloff and Larnach—with Wallner a year behind. None of them has stepped forward yet and Kirilloff might have a chronic injury and Rooker was traded. I won’t make a judgment yet on either player still with the Twins, but it is concerning.

I don't think MLB allows i on jerseys.

Wait... What number does he have? An imaginary one?

Buxton can look so good ... or so bad!

Might as well move archer to the long relief role

We aren't expecting miracles; we're hoping against hope because the rookies are all we have. There ain't nobody else. Open to other ideas if you got 'em. Agree with you on the unis though.  

Aren't those song lyrics?

 

Ain't nobody here but us Rookies... er, chickens.

 

That's it. Let's enjoy us some chicken.

spelling. then augmenting the thought. In case folk didn't know where i was going with it.

I hope other pitchers and teams are not paying attention to Buxton's inability to not swing at the out off zone high fastballs. Center of the plate, but way high. Or.... that Buxton can adapt and lay off them now. Those at bats were ugly against Giolito. Giolito sure noticed.

HI SQUIRREL!

Now the Twins can chew on the soft underbelly of the Sox bullpen.

Maybe they will eventually swap the sequencing on this. Winder is looking solid.

From the way Gladden describes it, Archer is getting by on grit, gumption and not much else. I’d be ok if they swapped roles too

Well, if the Twins do manage to come back and win this game, it looks very much like they’ll be in first place. NY up 9-0 in the ninth. 

The Twins are battling their tails off. Rocco is managing the best he can. I hope everyone is having a good day. 

A couple threads ago someone said that was our inning...

 

Why can't every inning be ours?

I don't think Martin is ready to contribute, at least not until after the trade deadline, and I think he's probably limited to 2nd base and left field. It doesn't make any sense to bring in an equal hitter at best (for now anyway) in Martin and bench/DH Kepler when he is one of the best RF defenders in the game. 

Maybe so, but my perspective is that the Twins are probably too tied to giving lots of ABs to mediocre veteran players. Time to start finding what’s next

Gordon and Buxton a combined 0 for 6 with 6 Ks!

Damn

Giving up a HR to Danny Mendick is not ideal

Urshela sucks

WOW. What an incredible play. 

The continuous struggles the twins have with number 9 hitters is astounding 

That was beautiful.
