Hopefully they can avoid another atrocious bullpen blow up and take the series today. Go Twins!

Maybe the twins should make a trade for this Goodman fella. We need a catcher next year and he obviously likes to hit at Target field.

Shelton was asked after the game if he felt the team had the personnel needed in the bullpen to do what he wanted to do. He said yes, but the issue was finding the proper way to use them. I disagree but if that's his take, it's on him and Maki to figure that out, and we're halfway through the season. (Granted a lot of churn.) Getting Gomez up twice in two games to simply not use him to me indicates a bit of second guessing. I get it.. there's lots to reflect on. 

You could always Ask Pablo.

Shelton has been using this line for the last month or so.  At some point, like now you just need to say this is your role to each reliever.  If it doesn't work, switch out a period of time but not two games.  Yes the options are not optimal and some days the plan will fall apart.  But it is easier to adjust when you have a plan, when you have no plan then you are just shooting darts.  Yesterday was a great example, Fundy was going to have to face Goodman as he was the third scheduled hitter, just put in your best option not the LH to face the first two LH scheduled hitters.  It probably should have been Banda or Morris to come in if they had a real plan and defined roles.

Take the series! Buck at DH, Jackson in behind the plate, Oh and that Goodman guy? You know what not to do.
