    Don't worry, we have 8 so there's a little extra cover. 🙂

    I've said this before. If you look back at early Falvey drafting philosophy, he wanted to draft big college bats with the intention of rushing them to the majors or high minors and making them trade bait for other teams. It worked for CES and Steer, but we ended keeping Larnach and Wallner and now we are trying to make them work.

    I'm pretty sure in today's article that Topa is leading the AL in appearances and Banda is second on the team. I'm reasonably certain that is the much of the answer to the bullpen issues. Morris only has 24 pitches. He should get another inning with a quick hook.

    The rain-soaked infield caused two plays by the Mariners. The double play that wasn't and the ball that found the right spot hitting the base and popping in the air.

    That's what I figured. He would have a little league start. 80 pitches max unless he is in the middle of a batter. Sad as I really wanted him to make it 5 innings to qualify for the win. Real time update: It looks like he will get one batter to get out of the 5th! Great confidence for the young man.

    The Twins haven't had a bad ABS challenge in awhile and they must have banned Wallner from making any more so someone needed to take the mantle.
  7. Western SD Fan
    53 pitches through 4 for the young man. A great start so far. Real question will be how much longer they are willing to let him go.
  8. Western SD Fan
    Great forshadowing!
  9. Western SD Fan
    That was one of the slowest triples I've seen in quite a while.
  10. Western SD Fan
    Great move by the Rays. Getting a crew chief review, not losing their challenge, and getting extra time to get a reliever warmed up.
  11. Western SD Fan
    This should be an embarrassment on the offense that the Rays intended on a bullpen day and may end up using fewer pitchers than us.

    I see the website glitches are back. I didn't get to see the thread update in about 20 minutes.

    At the speed that the Twins are getting themselves out, Jax may be able to go at least 2 innings.
  14. Western SD Fan
    Morris stays out there at least this inning until the Mets prove they can do something off of him.
  15. Western SD Fan
    My Gameday has everything fixed again and Morris is actually pitching.
  16. Western SD Fan
    Apparently MLB Gameday can't read the name on the back of the jersey. They are listing Topa as the pitcher instead of Morris. Hopefully Morris can go 4 innings and save the bullpen. Maybe C-Gangsters bullpen color watch will go back down to yellow. It can never go green since they are the epitome of:

    Likely longer than you're giving Lee. Lee's replacement looks nearly ready to call up in St. Paul. Keaschall likely means that Clemens is playing 2B for most of the games. I'd rather let Keaschall figure it out.
  18. Western SD Fan
    At least Ryan is wearing it and trying to go as far as he can in the game to save the Titanic aka the bullpen.
  19. Western SD Fan
    So much for that comeback
  20. Western SD Fan
    I had dreams that the Twins had knocked out the starter and into the exposed Mets bullpen. Oh how the tales have turned.
  21. Western SD Fan
    Acton and Morris come on down. You're the next contestant on Sacrifice Island aka The Twins Game.
  22. Western SD Fan
    Nope. Our reservation is booked for the Rays as they need a get-right series as well after dropping series to both the Reds and Pirates.
  23. Western SD Fan
    I was going to ask that as well. I'm not sure that was the intention, but Scott was so wild that he couldn't stay in the game. Let's hope the Twins can take advantage of this leaky bullpen.

    I would also like to see the expected batting average on the play that Lewis attempted to make at 3rd but ended up giving up the infield single and RBI. I just don't see how that play is made by an average 3rd baseman either. There are definitely instances to attack Wallner's defense. The play in Toronto where he nearly turned himself into a pretzel watching a ball go over his head is a great example. From a larger standpoint, it could be argued that Wallner is taking his batting woes out into the field and likely needs a tune up in St. Paul. Even with that, I don't think Wallner could have caught the ball and is taught to keep the ball in front of you to limit damage. Now to the positives. Prielipp gave us exactly what we needed: 4-6 innings and kept us in the game. Rojas did alright for his debut although a WHIP of 2.5 is unsustainable. Orze, like Banda's appearance last night, must be dabbling in witchcraft to finally get through a clean inning. Speaking of witchcraft, whatever Orze and Banda are up to was leaked onto the bats, as other than Buxton, they are performing a disappearing act in the strikezone.

    I would agree. The offense needed better AB's against Holmes. Letting him cruise through seven without quality AB's didn't really give a chance for the Twins to exploit the Mets bullpen.
