These boys are trying to earn a full time job, you do not get that by not pushing hard.

Does that mean some push harder than others. How is that measured

[bighat]

Jeffers has had a rough night in all areas tonight. With Sanchez on the roster, there's really no reason to be starting Ryan Jeffers in back-to-back games. We've seen enough to know this shouldn't be a 50/50 split situation.

Meh. Jeffers has a higher OPS+ over the past month than Gary and obviously plays better defense. I don't really think there is much gripe to be had with how the catching duties have been handled.

No runs. No drips. No errors.

[RpR]

Arraez actually impressed with that one.

Twins 1-4 hitters are 0-11.

Twins 5-8 batters are 8-11!

[Nine of twelve]

2nd time we’re making McKenzie look absolutely pedestrian in less than a week.

Yep, his two worst starts this season have been versus the Twins.  Without the Twins, his ERA is 2.96.  Adding in the Twins, he's at 4.03.  Our guys raised a bit of a lump.  I think his next start will be against the Yankees; that would be extra sweet if he bounces back and shuts them down.

Another example of Baldelli's mismanagement. He should have batted those players 1-4 instead of 5-8. ?

C4!!!!
