Game Thread "Sam" Twins vs. Mariners 7:10pm dst 6/12/2019 ad

Damnit! May used to have a nice breaking ball he trusted. Where is that? Love what Johnson has done so far, but May should be a pet project. Find his breaking ball again and you could really have something.

 

I think May has been the pet project of just about every coach on this team for years. He's been Mr. Potential for years and either hasn't achieved or is just not as good as most fans/coaches think he is.

This bullpen has 1.5 trustworthy arms...Roger and a half of Harper (not ready to fully commit to him given his small sample size).

 

Honest to God, I just assume at this point that if any reliever other than Rogers enters the game in even a borderline high leverage spot, they will give up a run.  It's like clockwork. 

 

Morin seems to be quietly effective.

[nicksaviking]

I bet Cron didn’t learn that defensive position from his little league coach.

 

Probably those bums in Anaheim.

[DocBauer]

I just returned from dealing with the kids.

 

The mood here seems.....icier?

May only had a FB and Parker allowed a seeing eye single

[denarded]

I love Cron, but man alive, square your body up on the ball, lame effort but i don't hate. You've been great this year

[Aggies7]

That’s an 0-2, 3 run homer. God help us we need so much help

Bullpen issues tend to start up the crank-o-meter.

Ugh

[DocBauer]

What's that sound? Phones of out of contention teams ringing with a Minneapolis area code in the caller ID?

Repeating myself for the sake of...well...you know

[Aggies7]

Like, how many relievers do we need to pick up to win in October? 3? 4?

Yes

[FlauerPauer]

There's gotta be some roster moves tomorrow. This bullpen is getting ridiculous. Parker needs to go. May may need to go as well.

[drock2190]

Parker on the other hand, I don't have faith in. His stuff is so bland. That splitter isn't scaring anyone and the get me over curveball is just a show me pitch. Fastball is a slow ball.

[Danchat]

Parker's gone down the Addison Reed route - 2 dominant months and now complete disaster. Outside of Harper and Rogers nothing has gone right for this bullpen... we need help and it ain't coming from the minors.

[jimbo92107]

Yeah, this game is over. One of those days. What the heck, chicken for dinner every night gets boring.

[jz7233]

Parker is pretty much washed up.

[curt1965]

I’m speechless! Wonder if FSN will televise Rocco’s post game comments?

[DocBauer]

So Eades gets the win tonight?

 

Work with me here!!

[Aggies7]

The worst part about this is the our starter went practically 7 innings. 7.

[notoriousgod71]

8, because we must have a 13 man pitching staff.

Parker was never dominant, he was lucky. Reed was a much better pitcher in his time as well.

[twinssporto]

I'm not concerned. Finally a challenge for this offense.  Twins will probably explode for 8-9 runs in the 8th and 9th.  Should be fun to watch...

[MMMordabito]

Time to give Stashak a looksee?

[HawksNest]

This team is beyond screwed come playoffs if we don't add 2 legit bullpen arms, minimum. 

[HawksNest]

 

The bullpen may not be awesome but at least we have payroll flexibility.

 

LOL!

[bighat]

I think 2 is the bare minimum, 3 if they want to really give this thing a run. They need at least one starter as well, again at the minimum.

 

 

[Linus]

Some sloppiness creeping into the Twins games recently. Interesting to see how Rocco handles his first non cumbaya situation.

[Aggies7]

Mallex Smith owns

[notoriousgod71]

This team is beyond screwed come playoffs if we don't add 2 legit bullpen arms, minimum.

And 2 legitimate starters

Well, it could make room to trade for a couple relievers and a starter. A good chunk of the free agent relievers have performed poorly anyways. I just wish we could start the trades now and not have to wait until the last 2 weeks of July to do it.
