Tristan Gray is pure ass at the plate. Why is he here? Not even that good on defense.

Yes

Walked right into that, total surprise. 

Lots of game thread rust to shake off… 😬

Did Kaelen Culpepper play SS today? Just looking for ways to stop watching Tristan Gray on my favorite team.

He didn't play for the Saints today.

[S Bart]

 Relief soon

Lame. All he has done is DH since his return from injury so what's the point?

[SS MagicMark]

10 punch outs for Zebby. Nice recovery after that 1st inning to get thru 5.

[S Bart]

Congrats Zebby...pretty good after the 1st inning..

[RpR]

Good inning for Matthews.

He's not having a horrible outing other than getting us behind the eight ball early

[David HK]

I'm enjoying the heck out of the Aussie former pitcher Ryan Rowland-Smith on Seattle's TV crew! 

 

[Vanimal46]

Hey bats

[h2oface]

Certainly didn’t see Matthews doing this after 54 pitches in 2 innings. Awesome.  Too bad about the crawler line drive by Young.  

[darin617]

So who gets bumped from the rotation now? Not a fan of the trade. It didn't improve them like a trade for Kevin Gausman would have.

[darin617]

Ton of lefties in the pen now as well. Minter, Rodgers, Funderburk and Rojas. 

I wouldn't miss Rodgers or Funderburk. Someone has to go.

[David HK]

Zebby is such a puzzle. My God, the action on his slidery stuff, and that power arm- he really dotted a lot of pitches and smoked some guys, looking like a world-beater. 

Then he turns around and gives up molten ROCKETS! Duck, everybody! 🫣

I can't help but think this is what became of Nuke LaLoosh.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If the offense stays in hibernation, it won’t really matter which pitcher(s) they traded for

[S Bart]

Jose Ferrer...remember his movies

Yes, the issue that needs to be most addressed better be helped soon 

[h2oface]

All of 3 hits for the Twins.  Anemic offense continues.  Loosen up boys.

[Western SD Fan]

We may see who is being sent down to make room for Minter.  Fundy is warming up.

I also don't think Kremer will join the rotation right away.  I think he is in reserve for when they shut down Prielipp.

Well...they need a maybe..they are not going to get a Gausman...

[SS MagicMark]

A little surprised to see Zebby back out there for the 6th.

You're probably right. Plouffe's immediate reaction felt very forced to be optimistic about the deal.

[The Great Hambino]

Yep, Fundy is goin down tomorrow

[Vanimal46]

Eventually this team has to be over .500 for at least a day to be taken seriously. We are simply allergic to that idea since April 21st. 

[RpR]

Twins catching is back to run-at-will form, all three , not just Jeffers.
