This lineup looks so much better with him out of the 4 and 5 spot.  Would look even better if he was just not on it at all.

I gots a bad feeling about this one 

This would be a really good game to win.  Sat. & Sun. look tough without a starting pitcher.  One day at a time.

If I'm Minnesota, I'm pitching around Abreu any chance I get if there's runners on. Let Castillo beat you.

We are playing Minnesota.  Maybe they won't notice.

Must win game!

This is a pretty bad time to be playing the Twins tbh.  We have 1 ML pitcher slotted to throw in the series and they are on pace to destroy the single season HR record.

Lopez needs to duplicate Giolito's masterpiece.  The next two games look to be heavy bullpen work.  Hope Covey surprises.

Fans in the LF bleachers with Manny on the mound should be required to wear helmets tomorrow

I like when Cordell is in the lineup.  He's a good all around player.

The Twins only hit 8 HR's per game. Not against our pitching. 

Why Castillo and not McCann?  It's ridiculous, like we are trying to lose on purpose. Does Lopez request Castillo? 

McCann should be playing at least five times a week over Castillo. He is so clearly better than Castillo, both offensively and defensively. It's like people on here say, are we tanking and trying to lose on purpose? Unless Lopez feels more comfortable with Castillo, it makes no sense at all.

Maybe lopez prefers a catcher that can speak Spanish ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

One game every 5 is about the rate of play Castillo should be getting.

 

let's win!

Has anyone heard how Sox are handling the lack of a starter his weekend?  I would use a starter in the Covey game and hope we could get him into the seventh before turning it over.  The other is a bullpen day that we can hope goes like last Monday with minimal damage.

wow, what is the game time temp?

What did berrios etch in the mound?

Dios ...?

Fuck. Ricky. Renteria.

Batting Castillo 4th behind Abreu is one of the most bewilderingly garbage managing decisions in a season of garbage managing decisions 

WTF IS THAT SHIT???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
