I'm starting to suspect this bullpen is a problem.

Well since they traded the bullpen away at the deadline  , that is a logical assessment  ....

I think the problem is the entire organization running the operations...

[ziggy]

I'm most curious as to how fast Ober's fastball is thrown. Sure seems like something is hurt and he is pitching injured.

Question of the Game:

If you could help fix the Twins (immediately & beyond), would you rather be in the front office or playing? You have to choose. No Roger Dorn situations

Based on my age and lack of athletic ability, I’d have to say in the front office somewhere.  😁 Let me take a stab at PR.

The Twins are playing exactly according to The Plan.

What comes after the season ends is still a mystery.

Don't sell yourself short. I'm just saw a clip of an American style football team over in Ireland where the QB is 56 years old.

The slog,er, drive for 70 continues.

He throws it as fast as ever.  It just doesn't seem to arrive anywhere as soon.

Is this like the math problem about the two trains leaving Omaha..

It's a tough one to answer , as a youngster i played ball and was pretty good  , in my teens to 21 , i went to many tryout camps for different teams chasing my childhood dream , no contract  ....

As a general manager or president of baseball operations  i would definitely listen to the fans voice their concerns  , I would tell it like it is and not go the long way around the barn ...

Baseball and politics are so much alike in todays world , when it comes to money and power , everything is held tight to the vest ( knowledge is power ) and they both won't share it with the people and fans ...

There is a bank out there called BMO , I had no idea what it stood for , but I came up with Billionaires ,  Millionaires Only for a name  , fitting for the filthy rich that pees on your back and tells you it's raining  ...

This is a well thought out answer!

In response, please accept this snarky meme that I don't really mean

Lee is batting and slugging .100 the last week.  Brutal. Some more Fitzgerald would at least be interesting
