Another Twins baserunner sent to an untimely demise at home.

Great insight! Maybe you could also be a Twins radio broadcaster.

I'd never make it. I don't bleat the company line.

Neither do I. I can't stand Gardy.

Can't send down/release someone from the injured list?

Gordon's injured? I missed that.

His current slash line is .212, .257, .379, .636. You just can't keep writing that level of production in the batting order every day. We were better off using Kepler in CF.

Agreed he needs to be in the outfield

He can run and slide

but obviously cannot be an OF?? SMH. overboard on the overprotection

Castro is now getting time in center. he'd be fine as a platoon with Buxton, and if it's that bad, have Taylor play the last 2 innings in center.

Twins have scored 2 runs or fewer in 20 games. Now 4-16 in those games.

Not only that

They've scored 3 or fewer runs in 55% of their games.

Or Gordon
Depending on how long his fracture will take to heal.

That's why I hated sending Wallner down. He was rolling in the middle of a sputtering lineup. They can always send him down if he starts slumping. The hope (and we all know what a great strategy that is) now is that Lewis and Kirilloff can ignite something.

IF they stay healthy they will produce. Tremendous talents, but so injury prone to date.

Same thing with Mauer we have to be so secretive about injuries. This ownership group along with the two gms are awful.

He's been stealing bases, so IDK what the deal is. Maybe he had some more glass implants.

Wallner is a real head scratcher.

It takes a real idiot to send down the hottest guy on the team. FFS, ride him until he cools off.
