    In the Twins last 10 games the bullpen has pitched 32.1 innings and given up 27 runs, something has to change going forward.
  2. twins_89
    Garver needs to be more aggressive with 2 strikes. There were at least 3 times this series where he watched a fastball right down the middle of the strike zone for strike 3.
  3. twins_89
    The Twins are in the midst of an interesting experiment. They seem to be trying to find out how long a successful team can survive while only having one reliever who has any business pitching in high leverage situations.
  4. twins_89
    Three weeks ago you could look at a bunch of good bullpen ERAs and say to yourself, they may not be great but they've been getting the job done. I don't think that can be said anymore and the ERAs are climbing at an alarming rate.
  5. twins_89
    Magill has turned back into a pumpkin. He's unusable in even moderate leverage situations at this point.
  6. twins_89
    The Twins bullpen ERA (6.10) is 26th in baseball over the last 3 weeks. Things are not trending in a good direction for the group and I'm more than a bit concerned about the impact on the team if there aren't upgrades in the very near future.
  7. twins_89
    If the Twins bullpen was a boat, I'd say it was taking on water at an alarming rate and is in danger of going under.
  8. twins_89
    The number of Twins relievers I have any confidence in to pitch in the late innings of close games is down to 1 (Rogers).
  9. twins_89
    Including tonight's game, the Twins bullpen ERA is right around 7 for the past 2 weeks. It's going to be tough to keep winning when the bullpen is struggling so badly. Maybe it would be a good idea for the front office to finally make a move and get an upgrade or two.
  10. twins_89
    Twins front office unable to land a needed bullpen upgrade, the story of the off-season (and now the regular season).
  11. twins_89
    I'm not sure why there are repeated questions about him at the moment. He's had what sounded like a really promising off-season (other than the freak injury) and has been performing well since returning to the Twins. I'd think it would make a lot of sense to wait to see how he does with a few hundred at bats (if he's still performing at the current level at that point there won't be any questions).
  12. twins_89
    Bumgarner is nowhere close to the same ace level pitcher he was from 2011-16. He is also a free agent at the end of the year. Somebody is going to overpay for the name, I hope it isn't the Twins.
  13. twins_89
    Smeltzer needs to throw strikes to everyone but Lindor.
  14. twins_89
    The Twins have Castro, Schoop, Odorizzi, Pineda, and Gibson coming off the books for a total of $41.125M. There is also $16.46M in dead money that is owed to Reed, Hughes, Morrison, and Santana this season. Add in the approximately $10M the team cut payroll and at the moment they have around $68M to work with next off-season and that assumes they don't raise the payroll beyond what they did in 2018. I think the Twins can afford Kimbrel while still having plenty left to re-sign Odorizzi and/or Gibson.
  15. twins_89
    The first round is going incredibly slow. I left for a while after the Twins pick and decided to check back in at the 3 hour 20 minute mark thinking the Twins #39 pick should be coming up (or already done), but they are still in the regular first round.
  16. twins_89
    Cavaco is the kind of pick that will make the front office look really good or really bad in a few years.
  17. twins_89
    I'll be curious if the Twins try to go overslot at #39.
  18. twins_89
    Twins break with the experts, wonder what they saw in Cavaco that others didn't.
  19. twins_89
    Stott has pretty similar ratings to what Swanson and Bregman had when they were drafted.
  20. twins_89
    Stott still available, seems like the best rated guy left on the board.
  21. twins_89
    MLB coverage is extremely annoying, they show that the next pick is in and then start a new interview before announcing the pick.
  22. twins_89
    I'd take Kimbrel first since he wouldn't cost any prospects and the Twins have plenty of financial flexibility to sign him.
  23. twins_89
    Unless someone unexpectedly slips in the draft, my guess for the Twins pick at #13 is Stott with the secondary option being Langeliers. If those 2 are off the board I suspect a guy like Manoah will be available.
  24. twins_89
    This game should be a convincing argument for the front office that the bullpen needs to be improved sooner rather than later.
  25. twins_89
    On days when Rogers shouldn't be used the Twins bullpen looks very questionable.
