And it’s probably going to for few games.  They’re going to have to do something

I mean, a good direct throw and he’s got him.

But the way he fielded it, the chances of him making a good throw were low.

Brewers have no chance if the defense stinks.   They just don’t hit enough 

[dlk9s]

I don't know why Rock is blaming the new guy for not turning the DP. Looked fine. The ball took too long to get to Turang.

Are you bleeping kidding me?

Why not? He's 30. They aren't going anywhere and we have the best minors in the business. You don't have any depth when your bringing up Greg Jones etc. I'm sure he could be had.

Yeah the replay didn't show what he was saying.  The ball got out of Bae's glove in plenty of enough time.

This inning should be over. Can we implement an ABS challenge for check swings?

[wallus]

Both teams are sloppy, umps are sloppy, beer vendors probably sloppy, Amy sloppy

[BCF]

Ashby and Uribe likely down tomorrow also and maybe even Tuesday

Understand this however you have the depth to make them think twice. 

[yfinn6]

Challenge it.

[jason21nl]

These guys are insane with their challenges. If there ever was a time that was it

[HarryDoyle]

Exhale.

[Bulldogboy]

Wow Uribe grinder.

[JRob1125]

Survived a laughably bad inning of umpiring

[TURBO]

Looking forward to full automation for the strike zone...

The Twins bought at the deadline.  Why would they sell a piece that has been productive for them?  They were also only a few games behind the Rangers for the last WC spot and only a few games behind the White Sox. 

You would have had to give up someone like Vaughn to get Clemens or subtracted from the bullpen.  The Twins were not going to trade him for a prospect. 

[adambr2]

Is it just me, or have the ball/strike calls in our games the last week or two been egregiously bad relative to the rest of the season?

[BCF]

Weren’t the Twins buyers at the deadline? They’re right in it in the playoff race and AL is garbage

I toured a mansion yesterday a fascinating monument to that type of thinking. Of course the original owner lost his entire fortune 

[jason21nl]

I swear Mitchell can’t pull a ball down the right field line.  Seems like everything is middle to short.

Where would you play the .750 OPS Clemens?

Well i disagree with that depending on the price. That said a guy like him should have been a target considering what they have for depth.
