We need to get key hit with bases loaded!!! That cost us today!!! We can win series with royals and rays go 5-4 into next week!

We better hope Abel is able because last night Zebby sure wasn't.. and Ober is Ober..

If Ober can’t get it Over,

and Abel isn’t Able,

Then tell me, what’s Zebby?"

Answer:

Zeb-bye.

To me neither Outman or Clemons are very good MLB hitters. Clemons was lousy the enteire series and he  got a lot of at-bats. Cody is not a lead-off guy, he doesn't make enough contact or walk enough.

I wish I shared your optimism.

CLEMENS HAS ZERO TALENT To be leading off,  hey Derek  Luke 1st Buck 2nd  every game and after that does any one even care ?

[SteveLV]

Twins finish first 3 game series 6/26 w/RISP and left 17 runners on base.

I wonder if they will ever get some clutch hitting in our lifetimes?

win 1 of 3  get used to it folks=   means 54 - 108

If we play to our potential I'm expecting a 2/5 ratio - so more like 65 - 97. I wouldn't argue with anyone who wanted to take the under on that however.

Unless Ober's velocity increases 1 of Priellip or Rojas are the likely pitchers to take his spot.  Maybe Matthews settles down.  But those 2 have the best stuff.   I will be laughing if Rojas Bradley and Abel are leading us to the playoffs after the consternation after the tradeline last year.  There are 2 threads I might be bumping regularly lol.    

Hopefully Abel improves on his ace like performance today if you want him to lead us to the playoffs.  I think there is potential there, but let's see some sustained production in the regular season before we anoint him a savior or even a set in stone member of the rotation.

Abel needs to continue to improve his control.  The stuff is there and he was pretty close on a few.  Too many walks.   Coming in as a piggy back isn't the easiest thing either.

I was completely caught off guard when he was up in the pen. I had heard a few days back he was starting on Monday.

Well, it’s a three-game sample. It might be possible to improve on it. I guess it depends on how old you are.

Yep, that's the 2026 Twins right there. Going to be a lot of 1-3 and 2-4 series this year.
A lot.

Disagree. 

The Twins don't have many four gsme series, and without confirming I'm gonna state from memory no six game series.
