Mystery solved:  We DFA'd Henriquez to sign Danny Coulombe.  Probably could have operated the rest of the bullpen better but can't complain about that transaction.

But hey, we get one pitch per game for that, and it's usually a good one.

Just listening to Rocco’s post game presser……. damn, how do 25 year old athletes not fall asleep listening to this loser?

The FO needs to know if he’s gonna sign an extension or walk to FA. It will be wildly unpopular but if he’s not gonna sign here, then we gotta think about what he can bring back in a trade 

The post game interview sure looked like he wants to get the first train out of TC…. and I don’t blame him!

He is wasting his talent for a losing organization that gave him a chance and now it is time to move on

6-18 since the trade, per Twitter 😂

Who knew he was the keymaster.  Careful what we wish for.

Ain’t that the truth. 29 games. 22 1/3 IP. Henriquez 37 games 40 IP

Does anyone want a Wichita Wind Storm article?

Just sucks for Joe Ryan, he didn't deserve the loss. Very disappointing.

Bring up the Witchita newbies after the all star break to gain experience. Why waste time using Vasquez and others who will be leaving at the end of this season.

I could never figure out why Lopez was classified as the ace. RYAN is his equal if not better.

They traded a batting champ to get Lopez and signed him to a 73,500,000 contract. They have to justify it.
Ryan has a 3,000,000 contract.

Okay....I guess "ace" depends on a person's perception. Ryan is the true ace of this team in my view.

Agreed.  He has one of the most sickening personalities for a leader that I've ever seen. I know as a player, I couldn't be around him everyday.

How about our ALL-STAR  Leader-   3 times watching a meatball down the middle , love ya buck but when talking clutch your name dont ever come up !!

Buxton is a phenomenon, an exciting, multi-tool player, and we are lucky to have him. But...he gets in what appear to me to be some strange "head-spaces" at times (sometimes for a game or two and sometimes for weeks) when he looks absolutely lost at the plate, and he was lost tonight!

Hubie, right...there's something very disturbing to me about him as an MLB manager, I think he'd make a great middle school counselor or a public relations director for some fairly low-profile firm, but he leaves me flat in his leadership role with the Twins.

When I see him sprawled out in his office with that mellow countenance (win 11-0 or lose 11-0, the same mellow countenance) it makes me cringe. Frankly I really can't listen to him any more...maybe that's my failing, but I can't. And yeah, the players seem quite fond of him, maybe they love him...but is that the best approach to success in major league sports? I can't say for sure, I can only offer the wisdom of 16th century Florentine philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli who believed that a leader could not rely on love to ensure success because fear holds by a stronger bond than love. I don't want Rocco to turn into Woody Hayes on steroids, I just think he might tighten the screws a bit more from time to time.

I cant listen to Rocco anymore either so I don't.  I refuse to.

Thanks for pointing that out yesterday. 

I guess humor was DFA’d too...for some.
