Anybody got one of those fancy bullpen usage charts handy? The start of the game thread didn't have one.

Mick!

I wonder if he comes out for the 6th...

Odds aren't on his side.  Next 2 of 3 batters are lefties.  He deserves to at least go batter by batter into the 6th.  Every out saves the bullpen.

I'll say it again. Outman is so due.

Is he though 

[Patzky]

How the heck did he go from 88 to 94?!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Was hoping we'd see the Buck Truck there. Oh well.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

The plays from Baez and McKinstry loom large - could easily be 3-0.

Jeffrey Springs no hitting the Bronx Bombers through six.

[Chris Hove]

From last night.  Not accurate though as Banda threw 21 pitches last night.  Orze, Rogers, and Acton are initially available.

Matt Wallner is the MLB leader in Hitter strikeouts with 26. Second place is Cal Raleigh with 21, so at least he's in good company.

[Peter]

Who’s this acton

[Patzky]

That might be the cue to get the relief arm ready.

Banda threw 21 pitches yesterday as well. Don't know why that wasn't updated.

[Patzky]

Baez ugh. 

[RpR]

Twin are doing as well as last night, too darn warm.

He's also top-5 in LOB. Could have had like 40 RBI by now lol.

[Patzky]

Oooh I don't know about that

He's doing his best to make everyone forget Manny Margot.  Keep it up, Outman.

Now so, so due?

I don't care what happens in this at bat.  I already like Shelton better than Rocco in managing the pitching staff.  Rocco wouldn't have let Abel come out for the 6th to begin with.  Shelton shows confidence in the young man.  Great way to build up confidence.

100%

It wasn't the cleanest six shutout innings, but it's still six shutout innings!!!!! Gotta score more though.

[Danchat]

Tigers are 0 for 11 in RISP situations... they're making us look good by comparison!

[terrydactyls]

Six innings, 102 pitches, and no runs allowed.  Great outing by Abel.
