While every team has injury issues, the Twins seem to have more and more serious issues. I feel their approach to individual's physical health and rehabilitation has to come into question. The way Baldelli babies these guys with what seem to be minor injuries, it seems even more confusing. His resting of players throughout the season isn't the answer. Maybe they need to play through the minor aches and pains to build up some stamina or resistance. It's really confusing. so much so, that it seems to be more than a coincidence.

Too much value placed on pitchers in MLB. They're all one ulnar nerve away from being a flop.

The way Buck was hitting last year, you wouldn't think too much about the shift. He seemed to beat the shift by hitting the ball into the stands, on a lot of occasions.

I would like to hang on to Kepler to see how he performs with the infield shift modification. I think it can help him immensely boost his average.

The FO answers to the Pohlad family, Jim directly. The Pohlad family's goal is to make a profit. If the choice is between making a profit or winning a title, they'll take the profit. I don't believe they believe they can do both and sustain that for any period of time. I think they feel a championship will fall into their laps.

Why?

Buxton doesn't even have to collide. The breeze running by Wallner, tears his miniscus.

Toughest team in baseball. Softest manager, too.

Not much chance of that.

Good luck to Aerrez tonight. A hit or 2 could wrap up the AL batting title. I must say I was upset he wasn't used as a pinch hitter last night. We had the tying run on in the ninth, and Baldelli didn't send him up. That goes against the grain. The object is to win games first and if personal goals are achieved, that's great. I sometimes wonder where Baldelli's head is at. That was a terrible messagehe sent out, to his players, no matter how big or small a deal it was.

The possible am league batting champ sitting on the bench? go Rocco!!!!!!!!!

Hendriks is a bore to watch. If he doesn't throw 100mph away, he spikes the pitch in the dirt. If the hitters would keep their eyes open and try to make contact, they might be more successful.

Hamilton doesn't even look like making an attempt to steal second. Rocco is really consistent. Poor managing to the very end.
