Buck shrinks under pressure like no one I've ever seen

Hard to argue it , some say  he would wilt  in a big time lineup  ,  I.D.K.  But why does he insist on staying in this Mess  ?

Shelty has been given  alot of rope  , but those non moves last night and todays moves reminded me of Baldelli

If you want meaningless solo shots he's your guy!

Was meant as more of a roster construction dig at the front office and ownership. But I agree there have been some moves in the last 7 to 10 days that were a little Rocco-esque. 

[thelanges5]

Well, not much for a game positive but how about this from Matthew Leach?
 

Ober will pitch a rehab game for High A Cedar Rapids tomorrow.

Hard to blame Shelton for the bullpen moves. He has no good ones to make.

Bullpens get used. Every part of a. Bullpen. There are no low leverage relievers.

he had better options available today yet went with Funderburk, if guys from yesterday were still available like he was, would've rather Morris got a second appearance than him at least

Five runs is a famine?

I mean, it's time to move on from stone people in the bullpen....

OK, maybe I discounted the ninth inning runs more than I should have. Was a rage post. 😡

I think it's fair to look at least skeptically at those last-inning runs.  The Rox had a six-run lead when they brought in Zach Agnos and his 7.21 ERA.  The Twins raised an additional lump on him and he exited at 7.71.  Had the Rockies not extended their lead against Funderburk and then Raya, it's reasonable to suppose someone else would have pitched the ninth for them (I don't know the Rockies and a glance at their '26 stats don't reveal who they believe in).

I don't know how to define a metric, and I'm sure every team scores nearly meaningless runs facing subpar competition over the course of a season, but I maintain that a lot of the supposed strength of this club's offense is as substantial as a field of dandelions gone to seed.  It's fine with me to say that the Twins scored two legitimate runs today.

Gomez was up and ready again tonight and he let Fundy break.

Goodman has more HR this season than Ohtani.

As expected.

Unlike Raleigh he hasn't fallen completely apart.

He's a Good man.

Not an Out man, by way of contrast.

What a bunch of crabby monkeys in here tonight.

And we don't even have our 100° heat index yet!

There are low talent relievers.
