Well, does that mean you were opposed to having Lewis recalled? He could play maybe once a week at shortstop and maybe twice a week at third or he could play in the outfield too and get near fulltime plate appearances. Sure, it stinks that he got hurt, but he was going to play unfamiliar positions if he was going to be in the lineup enough to be up with the major league club.

The Twins haven’t had a major league shortstop since JJ Hardy. Now it looks like they might have two. They don’t need two shortstops but they do need bullpen help.

Yeah, Jim Kaat! Best in the business nowadays!

He’s the best - my favourite (even including Bert).

News that will only matter to Vikings fans… RIP Jeff Gladney. 25 years old.

Has Bundy fooled ANYbody today?

[Vanimal46]

Whelp, we kind of figured it’s gonna be a higher scoring game.

He's just not in the "crafty lefty" category, yet.

Because he's a righty

Bundy morphing into a Happ/Shoemaker type pitcher for us.

Just the start we need with a double header coming up tomorrow!

My god, the sky isn't falling. Very few pitchers throw zeros every inning they pitch. Simmer down.

I have to admit, I even liked him when he did the Yankees 

[jimmyc]

NOOOO!  ANYONE but Jim Kaat.  I missed the beginning but bet it took him less than 2 1/2 minutes to tell us how badly pitchers are handled.  I turned it in in the 4th inning and 4 minutes in he was telling us that pitchers do not train their legs the right way.  The only way for pitchers to train their legs is to pitch.  Because that is "how we did it 50 years ago".  And pitchers now don't throw as many pitches...blah, blah, blah...   Please Bally Sports?  You got rid of Burt who had toned down his "back in my day" rants.  Can we retire Kaat?

Yes, but it would be nice to get a shutdown inning like Brieske just did for the Tigers
