I’ve been kind of hanging in the lowlights for the past month. A lot of stress-induced games by the Twins have led me to stay away from the online keyboards so I don’t say anything I regret. However,

Walk-off === lead that the bullpen cannot blow.

This is tough to watch.  We are watching an 11.5 game lead dwindle to nothing.  Granted, we are playing tough teams while Cleveland is playing the equivalent of a bunch of minor league squads, but if we want to show we are ready for the big time, we gotta put on our big boy pants and play ball for 9 innings.

Sure Rocco might have brought this team some good sabermetrics knowledge, but for a team in a slump I would want Gardy to manage these guys. Gardy showed heart for the game and probably wasn't afraid to dig into his players for something they did wrong. Rocco won't do that.

Oh, Roy just cleared it up with help from Castro: the pitchers are getting pinched. THAT'S why the bullpen sucks.

Yeah, but Gardy usually only dug into one or two guys at a time, and it was generally the youngest guy on the team - they were his whipping boy of the month.

No one owns a May jersey.

 

A few years back, I saw a guy, pregame in the bar right next to Angel Stadium, wearing a Casey Fien jersey! I bet my son it was his dad. I mean, it had to be, right? So I had to find out, and went up and introduced myself as a fellow Twins fan, and sure enough...... it was his dad, with his brother and sister!

 

It must have been a special order.

See, this is why Roy is the analyst and we're just a couple of bozos on a website.

The stretch includes a 3-4 record against the White Sox and KC. So not all that tough.

3-6 if you include the Mets.

It seems to me that the twins have progressed from total system failure to a winning season that has turned mediocre. What we have seen lately is sickening, but I have hope that the pieces are in place to possibly turn things around this year.

 

I also think that the Indians and the A's have very solid teams, but the losses to the Mets were fairly inexcusable.
