I can't see the front office letting this go on for too long. They will have to bring up the kids that are ready or they will lose the entire fan base. I am a huge baseball and Twins fan and haven't even turned the game on today. 

I sure hope you're right!

he pinch ran yesterday,   i had to look twice !!!!

He did too. Before he crossed the road

[Patzky]

Well we're keeping Witt down.

[Danchat]

Already 3 appearances for Funderburk in 4 games, obviously a small sample size but you know you have a bad bullpen if he's the guy they're going to use the most.

I’ve got nothing when it comes to young relievers. They should be up here now. As far as Walker Jenkins/E-Rod/Culpepper are concerned, it’s absolutely about service time. I don’t know when the exact date is, usually late April, they can get called up and have their 7th year of control secured. 

They don't really have any young relievers ready at AAA, Raya has been a mess for a while and needs more time and I don't know what Klein's status is, the rest are hurt. The bats at AAA could definitely help, or at worst would start taking their lumps in the majors now rather than later. But they love to delay that to later on the regular.

Swung at the wrong one again Royce

Martin on base all day.. hmm.. let's see ..

Pinch hit Larchad again for Martin who is 1-1 with 2 walks today. 

[bunsen82]

Larnach should have hit for Royce - all or nothing.  All Martin has done is get on base,  so you take him out.  What the heck are we doing?

The guy is borderline exasperating. Occasional flashes, so many awkward plate appearances.

Concur...what "young relievers?"

Not excited about the bats, either, except maybe Jenkins, but I'd rather watch them than tbis dreck.

[bunsen82]

Wow that worked out great

I don’t know the ins and outs of why guys are called up or not, can any of you more knowledgeable posters explain why we wouldn’t just have the younger guys start in MLB instead of whatever you’d call this mishmash of slop? Is it service time/money? Experience? Bc this is ugliness and totally off putting as a looonnngg term fan.

spot on --  i would drop Larnach -Clemens - outman-  then send Lee to st paul keep Grey as backup and bring up  Jenkins- Culpepper and maybe 2 others , Saints top 5 are just as good or better than the Twins bottom 4-5  , who cares if they look ??  anything is better than this crap,  same with the bullpen  keep rotating as needed, , im more into watching the Saints than the Twins -  being Honest

[Vanimal46]

Jesus. Wallner and Keaschall collide. That’s like hitting a cement truck for Luke 

[mrtwinsfan]

looked like Luke was hollering for it

Personally I would have Priellipp up right now as a reliever. And Raya might as well. But yea, after 9 years of building a pitching pipeline we still have jack squat to help in TC

[mrtwinsfan]

Even Roden - he is looking better than outman -larnach -Clemens , but he has a option so that tells ya -  they dont care about winning  or developing

[Peter]

4 games in 1-3 record this already feels like it’s a wasted season-something needs to change!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Best thing that could happen is  Saints  getting more attendance than the Twins in there smaller park ,   hope it happens

I was waiting for the punchline.

[bunsen82]

Jeffers on -  Wallner up - he could tie it up with 1 swing.  

[Vanimal46]

Wallner dribbler to end the game 

[bunsen82]

And thats game.  

[mrtwinsfan]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ-Fest

[The Great Hambino]

Well, at least they got it over with quickly - was that even 2:15 of game time?

[IndyTwinsFan]

What an awesome offensive performance.  NOT!

[thelanges5]

And we face three more lefty starters this week.

Pretty close to that elapsed time.

And we'll likely lose at least 2 of them, if not all 3.

Looks like Raya is the AAA closer now, he had a rough spring training after a bad season last year so I get it if they want to see him pitch well out of the pen at St Paul before giving him a bump to the majors.

Looks like Klein is being used as a long reliever, as he pitched 2 1/3 inning in relief. I'd just move him to full-time one inning relieving.
