Wow getting this one up early.   Minter is likely burned for today.   Need another good start from Matthews.  Need a series win to take the momentum into Cleveland and hopefully sweep them.

Will we get good Zebby or bad Zebby?

Caratini for Jeffers today after Jeffers caught 9 straight.

Keider Monter last faced the Twins on June 11. He threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings and got the win in a 11-0 thumping for the Tigers. He was matched up against Zebby in that start too. The Tigers hit 6 home runs in that game and lit up Zebby for 7 runs over 6 innings. In that game Cody Lawyerson came in relief of Zebby and Alex Jackson threw the last inning for the Twins. Hopefully the Twins can flip the score on Detroit today.

Looking up this score made me interested in looking at the bullpen on a random day this season. On May 2nd the Twins played the Blue Jays. Prielipp made the start and was relieved by Justin Topa, Kody Funderburk, Luis Garcia, Anthony Banda, and John Klein. The Twins were winning 4-2 when Prielipp left the game after the 5th inning. They went on to lose 11-4 with the bullpen being charged for 9 runs. Yikes.

That was not a fun stretch of the season. There was a two-week run in late April/early May where the bullpen blew 4-5 very winnable games. Wish we had those Ws now!

These guys would excite, at the very least! Add in Austin Martin, Kody Clemens, Brandon Winokur, Khadim Diaw for depth.

Guess the team can partake in the Chris Paddack Complimentary Buffet while they wait.

Then there is the Twins way, which will probably include a 34 yo Ryan O'Hearn and a 35 yo Austin Hedges or something like that.  They will also be either starting or getting half the playing time in Hedges case.

Well since we mostly get good Zebby, I am going to be optimistic and say that is what we will see again.

Unfortunately, the current FO will sign a few seasoned vets that will be the statistical equivalents of Margot, Bride, Caratini, and Gray.

Detroit news states estimated first pitch is 2:50 ET

Looks like might be lightening up and clearing up a bit in the next 15 minutes.
