  1. Apparently they don't trust the kid to go back to back games. I would have been rushing Klein up since it looks like Topa really doesn't have it.
  2. Shelton must be playing the lottery to depend on Topa to finish the game.
  3. I don't actually bet, but I love following it. I'm thinking the remainder of the season to take the Twins on the first 4 or 5 moneyline and then fade them for the final since, as we all know, the bullpen. If I actually bet it, I think I would be doing pretty well this season.
  4. Likely Orze's last man with a lefty coming up. Funderburk is up next.
  5. The radio guys didn't say there was anyone warming up in the bullpen. Are they really going to ask Rogers to get more outs? I guess the Blue Jays leadoff hitter is a lefty? Seems like flirting with disaster.
  6. Given how much Rogers was in and out of trouble, I will take that result to tease a second inning out of him.
  7. I was just on Kalshi. They have no bet on Wallner. Only Twins player on the markets right now is whether Ryan will be traded. Currently at 37% chance that he will.
  8. The radio guys said earlier in the inning that nobody was warming in the pen. From their analysis, it sounds like they want Rogers to try to get more outs in the next inning. Next up would be Orze or Klein.
  9. I wish I would have been able to see the Clemens double. Varsho doesn't get fooled very often on a fly ball.
  10. I agree with you in principle. I think that would mean that we would need to see Morris come out for one more inning. He's at 57 pitches so that would be possible. Given the fact that 2 of the next 3 batters are lefites makes me think it's Taylor Rogers time. EDIT: That would also open up a bullpen spot for the Twins to sign Kahnle from the Red Sox for some bullpen help.
  11. Unfortunate bounce for the ground rule double. Martin would have scored.
  12. If Joe Ryan controls it well enough, he would come off the IL around early June, get a few starts in to show that he's back in time for that deadline trade.
  13. Possibly. Zebby has been improving with each start after a terrible beginning to the season. 5 innings, 1 ER, 80 pitches.
  14. News from the radio crew is that Ryan has right elbow soreness. Sounds like an IL visit.
  15. Festa is looking more and more like a candidate that needs the Varland treatment and going to the bullpen whenever he comes back and then see whether he can stretch himself out in the offseason.
  16. Listening on the radio. Chris did say that he was wearing one of those heat and massage back wraps prior to the game. Their suspicion was that he reaggravated his back issue that he had in spring training.
  17. I just don't see how today is going to go any better. Unfortunately, when a reliever comes in due to injury, he seems to get shelled since he is out of his routine and warming up on the mound instead of in the bullpen.
  18. Let's go into the game with a glass half full attitude. We will not lose tomorrow!
  19. Me as well. You can log onto MLB.com or use the MLB app and listen to the radio broadcast. That's what I am going to do. I just won't be able to react to things like whether an ABS challenge is good or not or how bad the fielding is.
  20. Both Jax and Varland were tried out as starters prior to converting to the bullpen. Jax was only given one year as a starter before going to the bullpen. Varland spent parts of three years as a starter before transitioning to the bullpen after coming back from an injury in 2024 and found his niche. Only Duran was converted to a reliever in the minors.
  21. Holy geez! The cope is real! Tim Laudner is calling Banda "normally reliable"? Are we watching the same games? He has a 9.00 ERA. I would trust a lot lizard with a $100 bill more than I would Banda trying to hold a game.
  22. I would still contend that if you stopped prior to trading away Varland this would be a completely different bullpen. There would be a more defined role at the end of the pen and everyone else may fall a little better into place.
  23. I wonder if Tom Pohlad can afford this to get stitched onto LeTroy Hawkins's jersey for the remainder of the season. It's only $7.99 on Amazon.
