EARTH TO TWINS, THE METS ARE AN AWFUL TEAM!

 

GET IT TOGETHER 

[MNT1996]

The guy literally just hung another curve to Alonso and he almost destroyed it. You can't make this up.

[operation mindcrime]

Get May off this team

Send Duffey with him!

[BattleYourTailOff]

Can we make Summer 2019 the last time Mayday pitches for the Twins please?

[twinsbaby]

Indians will pass us to become the first team in AL Central after Athletics series.

[Reider]

Who says the Twins don't need bullpen help? Trevor May is getting lit up and some people are too busy giving the bullpen credit to acknowledge that there is room for improvement.

 

Time to acquire some high end pitching.

[BattleYourTailOff]

Second game in a row he’s hung an 0-2 breaking ball and given up a go ahead HR

 

veteran pitcher with a rookie brain

[bighat]

Smalley not mincing words: "I don't understand that pitch. I just don't."

[twinsnorth49]

You'd think that 0-2 pitch to Santana would have taught him something.....nope.

 

You just can't leave that pitch there.

Implying he has a brain

Those people are also wearing rose colored glasses and are drinking the kool aid. This bullpen, sans Rogers, sucks.

He forgot among all the gaming & twitching he does in his free time.

The Twins aren’t as good as people thought they were either. There’s cracks and they’re showing heavily right now.

[USAFChief]

I expect another "Twins bullpen help may be internal" article any moment now.

They have been showing it for the last 30+ games.

Question is: when?  At this point, July 31st is too late.

 

The Twins operating under the assumption they're going to split the remainder of the games with Cleveland sweep Chicago, KC and Detroit every time they play them the rest of the year. I just don't see that happening.

Anything to save money and not pick up a contract

[twinsnorth49]

Why even risk the plate? Why not low and away with the FB? Up and in....just up? Anywhere but hung over the middle of the plate on 0-2. The dude throws 97-98, screw the breaking ball.

[Vanimal46]

Yikes.

Yeah but now the Indians are in spitting distance and still all quiet from the FO

Twins need to hire you as pitching coach. You would've thought that Wes or Mitch would have had a convo with May about this.

Well said!

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice 2 games Trevor May, both hanging breaking balls - this one to a hitter who can only hit breaking ball, May - Garver- bench, why would they not know this???  And  0-2  unreal

[HawksNest]

Bremer and Smalley were JUST talking about how May's "emergence" may be a huge addition to the bullpen and that we are going to get internal help.

 

No joke.

He plays too many video games.

[yarnivek1972]

Garver was behind the plate in the Santana at bat too. They still have pregame meetings to discuss how to pitch to guys, right?

 

Do they forget?

[twinsnorth49]

May has the stuff to be effective, but you can't fix stupid.

[Aggies7]

I just plugged the 2019 twins into my “Minnesota sports failure comparison” machine and what I got back was the ‘03 vikings, who started the season 6-0 and did not make the playoffs.

[twinsbaby]

That's a HR pitch, Marwin can't just foul it.
