Without having watched any of the game last night,, but only saw the box score, I feel like Cordero should've pitched that last inning instead of Ruiz...

There are times when Fulmer looks like a major league reliever and there are times when he looks like AAA fodder. He's going to get DFA and go have a nice career as a setup man somewhere else and it is going to infuriate this board. Especially if it happens for a team in the AL Central. 

Ala Jon Rauch...although Rauch was once considered the top prospect in baseball, or at least the top RH pitching prospect.

 

Collins is a disaster back there

Here's the scout who signed him, 34 years working for the White Sox, of course...

Basically a bust then.  It's not like this organization is ever short of 1B/DH. 

Puig 4/5 and just tied up with the WC race (89-63) with TB for the Indians...walk off in the bottom of the 10th.

Could still miss playoffs with 94-96 wins depending on the Rays.

Just ones guaranteed not to ever put up an 850+ OPS.

(Unless Jimenez is moved, which doesn't seem all that likely.)

They've been short a good DH as well as a good defensive 1B for quite a while now.

And Collins doesn't appear to be the answer at either position. 

You have to be impressed with just how bad Skole and Palka are.  Makes me ashamed to be a GT fan (you know, besides losing to The Citadel)

We literally have the worst DH production in the AL.  Pretty sure the Mets’ pitchers have hit better than our DHs this year.

Lately I've got the feeling the Twins are like cats playing with mice before they kill it.

That is terrible base running

Wow engel

Now this is where I wish someone besides you was saying this since everything is a disaster to you in game threads.

What an idiot Rosario is.

Hell of a play by Engel

That play perhaps shows that if it came down to Engel or Leury, Engel gets the nod

Dogs it then makes last out of an inning in a 1 run game at 3rd base. What a bonehead.

Hell yeah collins

This is why Collins needs to be in the lineup every day until the end of the season.

man, that's an easy damn swing

Collins has huge power.   I really hope he figures it out at the plate.

He needs to be aware when the camera is on him (in the dugout)
