Cut Lawrence and try Rashi.

Try anyone else for Lawrence. When he’s your 1st option out of the bullpen on a given day, the game is lost already 

[Saxophone Joe]

Hard to remember- and horseshoes and hand grenades -  but Lawrence was a strike away from a 1-2-3 inning. 

…You can’t hit a ball much harder than Jordan Walker did. Dang it, if we get out of that inning just down 2, I think we come back to win that game.

Just so ya know….Varland has a 0.96 ERA with 49 Ks and only 10 walks over 37.1 innings this year.  How’s that trade working out, Mr Smart Guy?  Geez, no wonder Falvey left town.  He wouldn’t have survived the heat!  

It has saved us about 300 articles on TwinsDaily speculating about when he would be traded this season and how much they would get in return.

Again with this bullpen 🤦‍♂️

Is Sands the only "reinforcement" coming back from the IL any time soon? Even at his best it wont be enough. 

Even the starters, outside of Ryan, aren't pitching well. 6 runs should be plenty to win a ballgame. 

SANDS is 3-4 weeks away after “set back” is my assumption.

ROJAS will go to the PEN within 2 weeks.

Abel back in 7-10 days …… will allow PARADES to be used in “relief” instead of “Opener”

Ober back in 2 weeks, will allow PRIELIPP to go into the PEN.

Lawrence - Adams - Lawyerson will get displaced…….is my assumption.

[JD-TWINS]

LEWIS “seems” to be hitting like the player we always hoped he’d be …….. after 7 games back.

He is 10-26 (.385) with 5 XBH, 3 of which are HR’s……. could not ask for more. Really HOPING for some decent stretch of success for him at the plate while settling in at 1B!🤞

I had another 5 with me, so we were over 13.

More, that this roster has problems too deep to fix easily.

You are a master of the understatement, Sir!
