Hmm, I was completely disgusted with Cave and he's turned things around. Okay, here goes: Fire Baldelli, bring back Gardy, option Harper and DFA Romo. I've had it with this team and it's time for this team to be woken up.
The Twins hung 6 runs on Detroit, which should be enough to beat the likes of Detroit. So no, Detroit doesn't have great pitching. Or even average pitching.
9 runs to Detroit. There is something seriously wrong when a team loses 3 out of 4 to two of the worst teams in the division. We're heading into epic collapse territory right now. Very disappointing. I understand "can't win them" all but the Twins losing to the likes of Chicago and Detroit? Both Detroit and Chicago look like they showed up to play. The Twins look like they showed up.
Yeah, no longer holding my breath when Duffey and company enter the game. In fact, I thought that if Berrios got to the fifth, it would be okay for the bullpen to take over.
I remember Tom Kelly, when asked why he pulled a pitcher when he did, he responded with, "The pitcher was getting a lot of loud outs." And I seem to recall the pitcher had a shutout going at the time.
What depressing is that the grand slam wasn't really all that much of a surprise. And, sadly, again, an unknown pitcher is dealing against the Twins. What in the world?
