Pretty bad game when the most exciting thing to talk about was what's happening to SWR.

If he hits one more batter, Lawrence has as many "hits" as the entire Twins batters.

CWS just need one more run to get my football score....even though two FG and a Safety technically work.

Nothing a tough hockey player takes 3 to 4 times a game.

Anyone getting the feeling were going to be seeing a really ugly game at least once a week. Think FOOTBALL scores..... 14-3, 17-6 Ready, Set, hut hut

Takes about a week for it to all play out. But I agree, it all seems mysterious. How ironic if Pittsburg ends up with him. Twins get Lawrence in the deal. What a flipping flip that would be. HEADLINER: The Twins replaced a 25‑year‑old with upside by adding Justin Lawrence — a 31‑year‑old reliever who’s been getting lit up like a Christmas tree.

Maybe Jeffers has attended an All-Star game, but I know he's never played in one.

Desperate teams do desperate things. Why cut SWR just to bring in Lawrence? -- he's older ( 25 vs 31) -- experience ( 61 career starts vs 0 ) At this point the Twins aren’t building a bullpen — they’re running a halfway house for struggling relievers.

The Banda-man Can!

Basically a three team trade. Twins cut Gasper, who gets claimed by the Nationals. Atlanta cuts Brujan, who is claimed by the Twins. Sounds more like Atlanta just turned a 6-4-3 Double Play.

My concern is when cheap becomes the strategy rather than a complement. Colomé is a perfect example, not because he was inexpensive, but because the warning signs were already flashing red, yet the gamble was made anyway. As Twins fans {assuming one still chooses to be one} we ultimately have to accept how this organization does business, whether we like it or not. After all, this has been standard procedure for 65+ years. So, as rv78 put it: it’s "the Falvey Way" … or the highway for Twins fans.

Definitely an upgrade from Grant Balfour and/or Homer Baily. Don't the Twins have a guy named Bobby Balker in the minors? Or was it, Willie Walker?

My fear is how little it takes to blow Falvey away. Just wish it was a pink slip.

This is the Minnesota Sports riddle of the day for all you Wild and Twins fans out there!!! Q: If Fenton put a Dent-In the Wild… Then what did Falvey do to the Twins? . . . . . . Ans: Falvey flattened ‘em.

You're trying to tell me the Twins have a pattern: hire the talent, then watch it flourish… somewhere else?
