    Today’s game is free on MLB.TV, for those not in the greater Oakland and St. Paul metropolitan areas (which include Iowa, both Dakotas, Nevada, parts of Wisconsin, and Southern Oregon).

      FB Santangelo should have to broadcast test cricket or senior golf or something boring like that.

    4. I endorse economizing on the backup catcher roster spot by making sucky infielders do it. And I don’t mind grinding Suzuki into the dirt with 154 starts. But using spots for the likes of Inge and Cowgill would seem to defeat the purpose.

    • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 10:32 am || Up

      Cowgill is only keeping Sexy Feet’s spot warm, so I can live with it. As for Inge…you got any better ideas?

      • FreeSeatUpgrade May 28,2012 11:01 am || Up

        Has anyone ever suggested letting Barton play 3B?

        No better ideas; my lament is more about the poor quality of the rebuild than either of those guys per se. Though the last week of hoping for Inge’s return to revive our offense has just felt sad and deluded.

        Mostly Cespedes, I think.

        • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 11:20 am || Up

          You don’t think they’ll just slide Coco over to left? My thinking is that not having the DH spot for Smith/Gomes is the only thing that will force their hand.

          • mother pucker May 28,2012 11:23 am || Up

            It should only take Cespedes returning, but I think you are right, they just slide Crisp over.

                I doubt that means much. They probably just don’t want to take away any more of Green’s development time in center. I wouldn’t be that surprised, though, if that’s the outfield alignment in Oakland as soon as next April.

    Kila with another nail in the Barton coffin.

    • Future Ed May 28,2012 11:39 am || Up

      I think you are right, but the two of them are neck in neck as far as RC+ and Barton is far ahead of him as far as defense.

      But I think you are right.

      I have $5. No I don\'t.
      • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 11:42 am || Up

        That home run actually bumped Kila up to 99 wRC+. Yay, mediocrity! Barton’s at 86. Plus, Barton still has an option left, right?

      • lenscrafters May 28,2012 11:43 am || Up

        I say screw both of them and just go with Carter.

        Ahead yes. I’m not convinced at all that it’s far ahead. Probably not terribly much more than Kila’s ahead of Barton on offense.

    Vince is saying its interesting that mitchell is not in center, but green is. Has Mitchell been getting more time in center than green?

    I have $5. No I don\'t.
    • lenscrafters May 28,2012 11:45 am || Up

      Mitchell usually plays center when he and Green are both in the lineup. That’s why it’s mildly interesting that Cespedes is in left today and Green is in center.

      • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 11:56 am || Up

        What’s your feeling on Mitchell? He seems like a prime candidate for “guy we end up giving away because he’s blocked by mediocre players who breaks out for another team.”

        • lenscrafters May 28,2012 12:01 pm || Up

          Meh, he’s a 27 year old with a .700 OPS in his second go round in AAA. I’m not sure he’s even Corey Brown let alone Carlos Gonzalez.

          • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 12:11 pm || Up

            I am pretty sure he isn’t Carlos Gonzelez. I’m not sure he’s Corey Brown either, but he did have a big year last year, and his knee injury might have contributed to a slow start to this year.

    • Glorious Mundy May 28,2012 11:45 am || Up

      Huh, yeah. Mitchell has 26 starts in center to 19 for Green. Green has 21 starts in left, and 2 at DH.

  19. Englishmajor May 28,2012 12:02 pm

    One of the Minneapolis paper’s sportswriters points out the team is on pace to lose 116 games.

    Put it this way: The Twins have to win at almost a 45 percent rate for the rest of the season to avoid losing 100 games. But no worries. I had the gigantic yam at Target Field last night, and it was darn good

    .

    • FreeSeatUpgrade May 28,2012 12:05 pm || Up

      You Midwesterners are odd.

      The yam stand is behind Section 102. Try one.

      • Englishmajor May 28,2012 12:10 pm || Up

        Further research informs me that the stand in question, one of the new foods this year, also serves baked potatoes, and that the giant yam is topped with maple butter, which actually sounds pretty good. Better than the fried pickle chips. not as good as the bacon sloppy Joe.

      Playing the Twins two more times might make that difficult, but that’s true.

      I’d rather score some runs and start a winning streak.

      However, a 10 game losing streak would be a total waste of time. If this team’s gonna streak, I want 20.

        Can we go for broke and make it an even 100? It’d say 119, but that just leaves us a game away from the Cleveland Spiders record and if you’re going that low, you want to break it. So 100 straight losses and finish out the season winning the rest.
