Im sure Denard came up with that question for Mr Securian Financial all on his own.

How dare you doubt Spannie!

There was an article about a month ago about testing these starters to a max of 60-80 pitches and seeing if they can turnaround every 4th day.  They had already been testing this with Raya and Adams piggy-backing each other during games in St. Paul.  Agree that it's a good way to ruin decent pitchers.

All we are doing with this program is ensuring we will never have 5 capable starting pitchers.

It goes along with the 1/2 inning securian commercial we have to listen to.

Tune in next week to see if Denard is the newest trainee at Securian Financial.

could be True also

We will have to wait to find out, because the corporate sponsor talking for a half inning is clearly much more important than the team’s performance the rest of 2025

Twins radio said Duran took his glove and left the dugout to go back to the clubhouse.

Hey, Joe, so Dollar Dog night is your favorite memory? Guess what happens to fan #10,001 on Dollar Dog night these days.

And not the original one either.

Welp there goes one guy I didn’t hate having on the team. There are so few

Twins dropped to 21st in OPS w/RISP

Already 0-5 tonight, 3 LOB

lets go offense!

And 3 for 35 in the homestead, so far.  What an awesome offense we have!

Could be fake? Maybe trolling us?

Could just be an expansion of the normal Twins bullpen shuffle:

"Threw today? ST Paul tonight. See ya in a couple weeks." 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It could also be another epic bullpen prank. Remember this?

[Irishman]

Twins manager and hitting coach need to be let go.

We did that last year. Well the hitting coach anyway. Hasn’t really worked out.

[Western SD Fan]

I'm guessing that "Hug Watch" has reached the bench as the batters have quit trying and just want the game done.

They are basically doing this with every pitcher now.  The Saints announcer a couple of weeks even commented that the Saints only have bulk pitchers, they don't have anyone to go just one inning in a save situation.

But remember Falvey is smarter than the rest of baseball, I see a World Series title in the very near future.

As desperate as the Pohlads are for cash, I'm surprised the uniforms don't have 20 or 30 sponsor patches on them.

Almost certainly more interesting.

Ah yes I love a good prank down 5-0

[mnfireman]

Sox Duran is trying to improve his value, either to his team or in a trade...

[Parfigliano]

Seeing how we are collecting fossils like Tonkin...Rich Hill DFAd by KC.

[USAFChief]

Buxton catches that.

This terrifies me, and adds even more fuel to the fire to get rid of Falvey before it’s too late.

And he can only go four innings in an outing so he would fit in just fine.

I'm about done with this crap show for the evening.

I do too.  One is given away every October or November.  OH.....you meant one coming to Minnesota.  That's a much different timetable.  Currently behind the Vikings on bringing a Super Bowl Trophy to Minnesota.
