We cannot afford to punt any more games be it with Keuchel or over resting our stars. Stars in most contenders play practically every game. That is why they get paid millions. Fans pay to see the stars play not grabbing bench.

If they are warming up Reynaldo Lopez, they may as well started the game with him. He has much better stuff and has been a starter before. Can DK be DFAd?

You are right. We can’t afford to punt any more games or the Twins will walk away with the Division. Cueto and VV replace Keuchel.

VV and Cueto are better options.

That comes from the same guy that had Leury hitting 3rd. What do you expect?

Hahn has been too busy scouting for relievers and has neglected looking for 2B and outfielders that has been a greater need.

I thought Cesar Hernandez was bad, but Harrison makes him look like an All a star.

Then we are probably one of the leaders hitting into double plays and of the lowest sacrifice flies hit in MLB. Am I right?

We have better pitching than the Red Sox.

Katz doing a great job contrary to Menechino. Pitching is driving this team now. Excellent starters and Cuetois also looking great. Hitting is lacking patience, clutch and leaving tons of men on base.

No surprise. He cost us three games, had been terrible lately. Sousa is better alternative.

Sousa is better than Banks.

AAA pitching is not major league.

He hit the ball 380 ft. That would have been a homer at home.

I think Leury sleeps in the ball park during home stands.

Can’t get the ball up in the air for a sacrifice fly. TA swings at a 1-0 ball low and outside with the bases loaded and no outs and pulls the ball on the ground, instead of waiting for a higher pitch to get the ball in the air or hit it the opposite way. Moncada hits it on the ground and Robert strikes out. Menechiho needs to coach Robert to close his stance which is too open. Our hitters are too impatient.

Give Cueto a sixpack of XX beer and make him the spokesperson of that brand.

Leury never rests. He must be bionic or permanently printed on lineup cards. Only our higher paid stars get to rest under TLR regime.

TLR loves lefty-righty matchups and Sheets is a lefty, albeit a shitty lefty, thatTrumps playing a righty instead.

Thanks to Cueto, AJ, Vaughn, Engel and Liam that came through in the clutch. One run was not have been enough.

Good observation. When Liam can throw a breaking pitch it’s normally lights out.

Thinking that we could beat the Yanks 1-0 was a wet dream. We needed to at least manufacture one more run. TA has to pinch hit for Leury. Take it as batting practice for the second game. No desperation in our managers vocabulary.

Hitting Leury second has been a killer. Anderson leading and Moncada hitting second should have been the call. Go with the stars in the first game. Or at least pinch hit TA for Leury in the 8 th. Need to go all out to get a second run.

TLR does not pinch hit with “resting” players.

Kelly was the right call to start the inning
