What did we do to deserve this constant torture

Matt Wallner and Travis Adams have been optioned to St Paul

Zebby Matthews and Ryan Kreidler have been recalled

I am serious when I say , they should have done what they did with Sano, sent Herr Wallner down to A ball and let the shock improve him. It helped Sano for a bit.

Also an additional layer of insulation from the MLB team. 🤫

Interesting that they are going with Kreidler over Outman in CF.

Ugh. Buck out of the line up. Hopefully not a long-term thing. Hip flexors can be tricky.

The Twins' starting lineup is posted. Lewis, Kreidler, and Outman batting 7,8,9. Yikes.

Old Yankees had Murders Row.  Today's TC has Strugglers Row..

He can also play Short Stop, which is where he should be.

Idk but it never stops for MN mens sports teams. It’s exhausting 

[Chris Hove]

All three of Kreidler's hits this year have been XBH. So we have that going for us!!!

[Chris Hove]

Royce is also close to a demotion; the Twins might look at Arcia instead of KC. Move Lee to 3rd base. Arcia has been killing the ball at Triple-A. It could be another option if the Twins somehow don't think KC is ready.

If he gets one it'll be great and he'll be stranded there !

Further proof that Outman should not even be on this roster, he was supposed to be the backup CF.

It is hard to defend Lewis and his play right now.  But Arcia is putting up good numbers in a hitter's league and lesser competition.  He has had very pedestrian stats the last few years in the major leagues.  So he might be an upgrade, I am not sure how much of one.  I also would only move Lee for Culpepper.  If Arcia or one of the AAAA guys moves into the starting lineup, it needs to be at 3B and not SS.

Herr Outman is getting his big chance, if he just bats like another Herr Wallner, his days with the Twins could be in serious trouble.

What does Adams need to do to prove his worth with this team? What they keep doing to him is wrong. It's so hard for a player to get into any groove when they are constantly being shipped back and forth.

Do you guys like Adams? 7.47 ERA in the Bigs with a 1.71 WHIP? I've watched him pitch on TV and I don't think he's very good at all. I get and support dumping Garcia for a younger player, but I don't think that guy is Adams. I'd much rather give Klein a shot although I know they have to wait to recall him since he just went down May 7. Boy, you look at the St. Paul bullpen and there doesn't seem to be much there. Maybe Peredes, Culpepper, or Gallagher? Matt Bowman is the only reliever having a good year in AAA and he's 34. I think he has an opt out on Sunday (as does Brebbia), so get ready for Bowman coming back.

Let's hope Herr Outemahn is on Das Autobahn out if he struggles as hard and long as 38 did.

I'm excited for Bowman! Home of the rookie card.

Lot of the plate my guy..

Arcia's life time fielding average at 3rd is .889, he should NOT be at Third Base.

Then he stays in St. Paul.

[Patzky]

It can be done! Let's go bats!

[RpR]

Matthews is not fooling the batters so far, but Garrett cannot find the strike zone.

At this point I'll take whatever zeroes the guy sitting under the scoreboard can find to hang up.

I don't love Adams, but I think a permanent role in the bullpen could give him some confidence in the future. He's better than a few guys we have there now. C.J. got hit hard last night, but I see him farther out than these other guys. I agree Klein deserves to be in the bullpen as well. Gallagher would be a good guy to use as a spot start or bullpen game at this point. I thought Altivilla would eventually lock down a spot, but he's been bad as well with the Saints. Nothing much in St. Paul's bullpen as of right now.

[Patzky]

He got the zone surrounded.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Way to get out of it, Zebby.

But...yeah, it just feels like he stills throws batting practice. Might get soft contact occasionally and have guys hit the ball at someone but I don't think it is sustainable long-term as a starting pitcher. 

[Patzky]

Some jitters or something..
