LOL that was either a double play or Eloy destroying his hamstrings again, but luckily Ramirez isn't playing third

Put one in the seats AJ

Same. Sheets is fine as a 1B/DH and hitting 7th or 8th. 

Sheets is not fine at 1B

Him and Sheets are the pop up kings

So TLR imo intentionally walked Jose Ramirez after he saw that meat pitch that he just missed and was like woah I thought we were going to pitch around him.  In reference to the 0-1 count intentional walk in game 1.  But...he still should've just gave him the pass full well knowing dude is like Bernie Williams.

 

It’s a little thing but Robert should have easily gotten to third on that error.

Who did we get for Call?

But they have instructed their players to "save their legs". I fail to see how it's on the players when management is giving them a free pass to be lazy.

Steven Kwan would fit right in with the 2000s Twins

Cease has people swinging at pitches that don't even reach the plate.

Yonder Alonso, just before his ability to hit went… yonder.

Much like everyone else we trade for

Cease is throwing almost nothing but sliders. Not sure I've seen anything like this. 

Why are Robert and Vaughn glorified singles hitters?

The organizational wide approach of being middle away as hitters isn't conducive to hitting for power. Particularly without a juiced ball & a humidor in every park

Pretty good at bat by Eloy so far

EDIT: Never mind

FM.

Anybody think Eloy has considered that if his front foot wasn’t damn near touching 3rd base he wouldn’t have to reach for every pitch?

Reminder to Eloy . You are tall.

Eloy can't help himself to lay off those low pitches

Pilkington is absolutely junkballing this lineup now

Yep, it’s time for a change. He’s been bad for far too long
