Twins (Woods Richardson) Vs Nationals (Irvin) : 4/7/26 12:05 pm CDT

Fun fact…Klein was the bat boy for my youngest kid’s travel youth team.

Don’t know what the future hold for him in the majors…he’s battled the odds just getting there, obviously. Just as obviously, we’re pulling for him.

Eventually something has to give. Whether it's Banda or Bladder.

If that is the choice, i'd prefer you go to the rest room to Twins losing a lead.

[Patzky]

Here comes the three run homer to make it complete

Have I mentioned that this bullpen stinks?

[Aggies7]

Is Taylor cooked too

I got slightly annoyed last night because Luis Garcia is one of the worst Twins relievers I have ever watched. Today is your run of the mill bullpen blow up 

[The Great Hambino]

I don't know if I trust the defense to pull off the intentionally-dropped infield fly trick

[Patzky]

The only reason these guys' ERAs aren't worse is because they all give up runs charged to the previous guy.

Exactly! Yesterday's was catastrophic - today's is just Thursday.

He also pitched for Iowa Central Community College in my hometown of Fort Dodge, Iowa! Yep, pulling for him

He went to Hambino High - many years later, but still. 

Is John Klein the new Kevin Bacon?

It'd maybe help if it didn't take like 4 seconds to pick up the ball.

Just think of it as a Twins relief pitcher.

My new (well a year and a half now) outlook on Twins baseball is little hope to compete can be therapeutic…Being bad at baseball certainly takes away the pain of tough losses…

[Peter]

This bullpen!!! Tie it up only to give back lead😡🤬😤💩🤮

[Patzky]

Can Pulin throw any slower.. you're prolonging the agony 

[Dave Borton]

Though a weak plan, hope remains. Meta.ai has the Twins odds for winning the World Series at around 1%.

[Baumer67]

It is sad that that you just expect this to happen every game.  I find it hard to believe that the Twins can't find a guy who can occasionally get 3 outs without giving up a run.

I don't know what you're on about. 7 runs, 7 innings. That's an ERA of  1.00, no?

 

7÷7. Math checks out.

If true, these past couple years must have been a real struggle for you.
