Jason Donald was struggling in Cleveland so they want him to get at-bats everyday in Columbus. I don't even want to think about left field. We could easily be getting more production from left field with LaPorta and probably even Crowe or Goedert.

We'd get more offense if they DHed for the LF and let the pitcher hit.

Nice sweep by the Sox.

We are seeing in graphic detail why it is so hard to be Indian and Tiger fans through the long, hot, Summer. It's a constant roller coaster that never seems to come back to the station and almost never ends up in the World Series.

Free falling

[jgord24]

82 at bats, 1 HR, 5 RBI's, 0 steals, batting .171. How is this guy still on this team?

The sky is falling that is for sure, with all the injuries I don't see them ever recovering.

Barnes called up

Stink, stank, stunk

Some random thoughts....

-Starting to mirror last season... just a month earlier this time around

-Damon has no arm or bat... yet plays everyday.... cut him

-dare I say we give LaPorta one last shot?

-Chisenhall needs to play everyday... not Jose FRIGGIN Lopez...

-Is this FINALLY the last year of Hafner? God I hope so...

[nilesdragon]

I think many people have figured that this was the last year Hafner would be a part of this team. It's not the fact that he is on the team but the fact that he is taking up so much of the teams salary.

I'm not jumping ship just yet, like so many are. The pitching has really blown it during the last week and it has caused the teams ERA to plummet. If the starting pitching continues pitching this poorly, which I don't think they will, the season would be a disaster. It could end up being another bad season but I like to hold out hope.

Lose a bat and bring up a pitcher.I realize you never have enough pitching but we really need some right hand batters.

Hafner can come back....at about $11.61 an hour.

All Twins last night

[lchsman]

Matt LaPorta was called up this morning and will start today.

[NewarkCatholicFan]

Twins with another win over the team the front office said would contend this season.

He's got one month... then deal him for a player to be named later.

[ajm23t]

Damon gone for 3 games,then what? Release him. Experiment over. Nice try but him and Duncan both not working out. Time for a trade if they are serious about contending this year. Can't fall to far back of White Sox.

[iguana_man]

A couple of weeks ago at the Marlins game I bought a autographed "mystery ball" for charity...turns out it was Shelley Duncan. That all but guarantees he's gone by the All-Star break.

The front office can't afford to pay that kind of cash.
