Twins (Ryan) vs Guardians (Bibee): 5/9/26, 5:10pm

[Western SD Fan]

Uh oh.  We need to take the lead here and hope that Gomez can go another inning.  Our next bullpen choices by way of rest are Garcia and Topa.

Well at least Lewis and Clemens are playing good defense still. 

Yippee!

Martin PH for Larnach now not Wallner earlier?

Fundy is also available. 

[Church of Kreidler]

Why have him pinch hit when you could... Have him in the whole game?

They somehow value Wallner's defense over Larnach's is the only guess I can come up with.

Shelty for a day award

[mrtwinsfan]

1 -  hit

[Permanent Twins Fan]

I'm a bit confused why Martin is pinch hitting for Larnach rather than Wallner or Lewis last inning.

Likely so is Orze.  I was going by who didn't pitch last night.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

Josh Bell had a hot start, but he has cold lately. Shelton has still been hitting him cleanup pretty much every day anyway.

Looks like it'll be Fundy. 

[HarmonK03]

Bell has four strikeouts so far tonight and he will be in the lineup again tomorrow probably hitting fourth.

Yup.

[Patzky]

Shall we throw it in here or drag it out into Manfred territory? You make the call!

This is who Bell is now at this point in his career.  But he was our big money signing so we think he will be a core player and he's not.  He should be hitting 6th or 7th but with this team he hits cleanup.

[jaimedude]

We really do have a need for a roster overhaul badly. This reminds me of a lot of the Twins from 1996 to 2000. 

[Patzky]

4-1 End of second and Wild PP to start third period

Agreed, Bell is mo better than 7 or 8 hitter. 

[Patzky]

In typical Phundy Phashion

[mrtwinsfan]

he is consistent with walking Leftys

[Patzky]

Shame no challenges left.. opps

[Gamblerssoftball]

Can't throw a strike
