    I wouldn’t mind Kelenic getting some time but I want to keep canzone in the lineup. Maybe Jared can get Mike Ford’s at bats

    Sounds like we are all pretty much in agreement. Unless he hits +.500 in his rehab games, bring him up but use him as pinch hitter or DH? He is arguably a better defender than Canzone and Marlowe, I think, but it's not like they're dogshit. Just don't rush it.

    Yeah have him hit DH the first week back. But man, Rojas and Canzone have shown consistency.

    Also fun fact, Rojas and Canzone spent long time in Hillsboro. Saw a lot of games with them. They were alright but I didn't see whatever this is lol.

    And he signed for another 14 years (or something close to that). Just unreal.

    Don't look now, but the Twins are down 1 to the Rangers, but have men on 2nd and 3rd with none out in the bottom of the 12th.

    Edit: 1 out, 1 in, tied up again. Go Twins!

    Don't screw around, Munoz. Just close the game and secure the sweep and sole possession!

    How many consecutive fastballs was that before the slider to close it out?

    That's a solid closer you got there.

    Also, I know we're not in the wild card as of today (we lead the division wooooo) but I'm glad Toronto lost too. At least want to have cushion from those teams chasing the last wild card too in case we falter a couple of games.

    Andres with a great close. Dom with an incredible catch , those two, Josh and Dom, look like great pieces thus far. Oh and as far as Luis? Just stellar stuff.

    This is the Luis we traded our top prospect for. Fuck yes. He's dialed in.

    Bruh I can't get enough of the hand gesture for Dom. I can't stop doing it and when Dom did it after the catch I loved it lmao. I love that he embraces it.

    Normally I wouldn't post this in fear of jinxing the team, but I feel confident we will at least tie this record! 3 games to go, against the As. Let's go!
