Why not give Luis Gonzalez an extended look? 

Cause exposing a rookie coming off a poor AA season and who is not a high end talent to an intense pennant race doesn’t seem like a better idea then just adding a plus defender in Engel.

Dyson would literally be the worst hitter in baseball if given the opportunity, at least there is theoretical upside with Mazara.  And if you make a change you just go with Engel in RF.

I was just making the most ridiculous alternative to the ridiculous continued daily insertion of these two.

Actually, I’m pinning for the days of Nicky Delmanico, he did SOMETHING this year.

As was said when the lineup came out, it was a perfect day to start both Grandal and McCann. The risk of losing the DH isn't high enough to justify putting someone hitting like EE in the lineup. You have a perfectly cromulent option to replace more of Mazara's at bats in Engel as well.

Bring Zack Collins back up.  He can sit on the bench and be a power bat off the bench and your emergency catcher.  Then run with Grandal and McCann as your plan.  Send Mazara to Sch.  

A lead off out? I didn't know that was ok.

What a terrible game from both sides offensively

Completely.  I don't know why, i still feel like the sox are going to outlast them tonight.

Engel not getting more at bats instead of Mazara is getting comical.

Engel would be exposed playing everyday but at this point give me his elite D. 

Yikes Gio's gonna come in. 

You have to give Engel the next two starts in right. 

Tonight the Twins are 2-14 with RISP, the Sox are 1-7

I think I'd rather have Mazara on the roster than Collins, tbh. The fear of losing the DH is overblown.

He does something exceptional.  Mazara is exceptionally bad.  

Stoney thinks Gio is up for Cave. Pretty damn sad that we need to have a person up for If and when that dude comes up to bat

Thats fine.  would roll with the two catchers in the lineup everyday no matter what.

I don't disagree but he's much more likely to hit one deep than Nomar at this point and as you say his defense is elite.

The pitcher batting would be the equivalent to EE or Mazara batting anyways at this point.....hell it could be an upgrade

I'm not sure Collins would provide much, sadly. Small sample size for sure, but he hasn't exactly looked locked in, in his few opportunities. Quite the opposite, actually.

Andrew Vaughn is just hanging out, waiting on a call that has a finite expiration this season.

Ricky will roll with the vet day in and day out hoping they will eventually live up to the back of their card.  I am fearful that Cishek is going to get important innings in the playoffs because of his past.  

Marshall was absolute nails tonight

Marshall looks great tonight. dude kept them in this...in line for big inning the bottom half. 

Great stuff by Marshall tonight 

Evan with the video game stuff tonight. Well done, sir. Well done.

Marshall with a great outing. Clutch.

Great inning Marshall! Let’s get some damn runs!!
