Great to see him getting some game action

I got a blue wave refractor of stroman in one of of my prospect challenge packs. Is the kid supposed to be good? saw he was first round pick.

 

[aarne13]

Yes, Stroman should be up by Sept. Many project him to be a reliever although he could wind up in the rotation.

Word on the street is Sano was benched today after his pimp job on the 400+ foot home run he hit to left field last night (I was at the game the kid has some unreal power). Apparently Twins G.M. Terry Ryan was discussing a possible 5+ game benching for him (which I think is an empty threat) due to the incident. He was in attendance last night too and wasn't a big fan of the showboating. Just thought I'd inform anyone on the board who was curious why he didn't play today.

Just checked to see how he did and was wondering why he didn't play, as a matter of fact.

Thanks for posting that. Hopefully the G.M. was just trying to scare him, and he will be back in the lineup next game.

I've noticed Rosario has been out of the lineup for the last four games as well.

Is there video of this or can you elaborate on what he did exactly?

 

[Jaypers]

Folty was most excellent - 8 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K

 

[Keyser Soze]

Can we just pretend that Matt Purke only pitched 4 innings?

 

[Jedi500]

One of my personal favorites

Avery Romero 2-4 with 2 Doubles now hitting .410 over his last 10 games

also I think that Dellin Betances might be hot list worthy look at his current streak

Relievers do not make BA's Hot Sheet.

Back to back games with a blast!

Can't seem to find video but he hit an absolute laser to dead left, none of the fielders moved, and he stood watching it at home plate for what seemed like 5 seconds and gave a showy bat flip before he started his trot. Nothing too extensive but the GM is kind of a drill sergeant when it comes to his guys.
