I know this team isn't good or anything, but it's still demoralizing to see them get so close to .500, and then lose a bunch in a row.

Indeed, it is. It was starting to get fun again, then back to reality...ope there goes gravity.

Can't say the last two games weren't exciting and even competitive. But the last two against the Sox... Kindergarten against college.

That's true, they were competitive and entertaining. Just not the result we wanted.

The Twins just added Mike Paredes to their roster. They recalled Adams. They sent Klein down and put Ober on the IL.

40 man at 39

Paredes was an 18th round pick in 2021 out of SDSU.

Jeez Ober didn't have it..  I hope they didn't know he was hurt and trot him out there for the last inning.

[karcherd]

So is Paredes the fifth starter, if so, he isn't stretched out.  On days he pitches you will need 5 innings from the bullpen.  This is the result of their awesome bulk pitcher strategy.

Did Adams get like as far as Fort Wayne before turning around..

[Patzky]

An interesting factoid.. Mike Paredes' middle name is Exodus. We have moved past Genesis..

Ok at what point is it ok to question wtf the twins are doing that every pitcher is going on the IL and we’re not even close to the halfway point? wtf is happening here this is absurd 

[Patzky]

Buxton off on getaway day, Jackson in at C and Larnach in LF busily ordering Ray-Ban same day delivery..

We're almost Atlanta.

If this is really a league wide thing, then there needs to be huge changes in how pitchers are developed from a young age. But ober isn’t even a hard thrower. I don’t get it.

Somehow we are head and shoulders above them.. seems incredible.  Oh I see what you did there... 😁

[karcherd]

Arcia at 1B, Clemens in CF and Gray at SS.  Yet we have no room for Fedko, Sabato or Culpepper.  Outman can not be on this roster on Monday, why isn't Shelty being asked why Outman isn't out there for Buxton.  That is why he supposedly made the roster specifically over Roden.

Well, let’s hope they make some changes this week when they are back in Minneapolis. Saints are home this week as well.

[thelanges5]

Four healthy starters and nothing left in the minor leagues - Ryan, Bradley, Zebby, Prielipp. Brutal

The last update I saw.

Festa not supposed to start throwing until this week.
Abel throwing from 90 feet.

So Dak or San Diego

[Patzky]

Pirates have a habit of not releasing their lineup until game time, happen led the other night too. Is there some unwritten etiquette or requirements about that, anyone know? I'm going off MLB gameday

Plouffe probably only one that would ask questions like that.

Good call! San Diego

Hard to believe a win gives us a 'decent' road trip
