This is the Keuchel we have all been expecting. Hopefully Rocco has someone warming up

[mrtwinsfan]

Why leave him in,  ????????????????????????????????????????????

Will Dallas get 1 strikeout  tonight,   ??  

He won't be in there long enough to get a K. 

[Dave Borton]

Scouring Netflix.

[stringer bell]

I am not smarter than anyone else, but my thought was the praise for Dallas Keuchel was a little much or at least premature. I think this outing has already negated his one run in five innings last time out. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Get him out of there ,  Painfull 

[stringer bell]

Yup, it’s going to mess up the bullpen, but he can’t keep throwing that stuff and expect to get outs. 

[MMMordabito]

Is Dallas the Old Testament or the New Testament of Hard Work and Determination?

Too much credit for his past accomplishments, and AAA is not the Show.

[mrtwinsfan]

Sorry Dallas , this experiment  ---  while it was good intentions,   Does anyone seriously think any other Team in the Majors would  of tried it, ??   i dont  

[hitterscount]

Just to be clear… this isn’t and never has been a playoff team… even though they likely make the playoffs. What a joke.

I think he takes his beliefs from Job.

[stringer bell]

I checked the twitter accounts of the writers who cover the Twins and the Twins official website and no updates on anybody with injuries. Is there any news on the injured players, including Solano, Ryan and Kirilloff?

[CRF]

Well...that was about how I thought it would go. We got a whole 1.2 innings and 6 runs out of Dallas. Not good. 

[jorgenswest]

One start that somehow worked and one disastrous start. They don’t need a fifth starter until the 24th with several upcoming off days.

Release Keuchel. Bring up a bat. If Ryan isn’t back give someone else a shot at 5th starter in two weeks.

Well that was most recent but unfortunate, 

but I am counting at least 4 Twins Daily writers, including some honchos, who wrote similar priase (and i will stop counting)

It's frustrating when Falvey talks about transparency, yet there are so many questions, that only lead to rumors.

[Winston Smith]

K is better than a double play.

Ever drive by an auto accident?  LOL

[Linus]

Should have left Keuchal in. Game is done and now we are gonna fry our bullpen. Leave him in for 80 pitches and save the pen.

Just now, Winston Smith said:

K is better than a double play.

Way to look for the silver lining

Spot on,  think They will ?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

People talk about the easy schedule. I don't see it. The good news is they don't have to go on a heater or anything like that, just survive that Cle-Texas stretch & should be ok

The bar is set really low.

[mrtwinsfan]

Winder, you have been given a chance to prove yourself here , give us  a few good innings,  Its on you Josh!!!!!

[RickOShea]

I've resigned myself to thinking cleveland will lose winning the divisional title rather than minnesota winning it, outright.

[stringer bell]

I’m guessing they give him another start. If the brain trust thinks the outing against Arizona was more indicative of his stuff, it makes sense. I just don’t see it. I can’t see how the leash would be much longer than three starts.
