  1. 96 wins?! Lol the twins would have to go 71-42 the rest of the way! They can’t win more than 2-3 games in a row! Good luck!
  2. Or even if they just drop off a bit. Fall closer to average. Ryan is exciting but he sort of tailed off last season. Ober, good recovery last night but 3 months from now?
  3. You make a good point, I just think you can’t hide the bad guys. They have to pitch eventually. Yes, it’s possible that duran does the job and we add on several runs and make it a non issue. But a 3 run lead in the 6th (yes with bases loaded) facing 6-7-8. That’s a tough call to bring in your stud
  4. To answer the headline question….it can get much worse. 4 months left of this. Things really didn’t fall apart until well into June/July last year.
  5. 12 outs needed to be made. Say duran gets the 6th and maybe 7th. Lopez and (?) are going to have to get the last 6 outs. Lopez and jax have been bad for a month. Stewart has been good but playing high above his career average. Moran is hit/miss. The weaker guys (aka everyone except duran) are going to have to pitch. You don’t trust them in the 6/7 but you trust them in 8/9? Moran was brought in to face 6-7-8 batters. If they’re going to blow the lead, I’d heck of a lot rather blow it before the 8th inning. That way you could maybe run your strategy a bit differently than if you fall behind in the 9th. Plus, I believe it’s a mental letdown to blow a 9th inning lead. Rarely do I see the home team score in the bottom after blowing a 9th inning lead. Plus I like duran for a possible 10th inning with the manfred rule, being a high strikeout guy. We’re just arguing about chair placement on the titanic at the end of the day. You can’t have one trustworthy guy in the bullpen. It’s just never going to work. It looked good early on with thielbar and lopez, but it’s reverted to form. Can’t have a bullpen with one solid reliever.
  6. The twins were 27-16 on May 24, 2022. They are 76-91 since then.
  7. Yeah but you’re still going to need someone to get the last 3-6-9 outs. And since the offense RARELY adds on, it’s going to be a 1-2 run game, a save situation.
  8. That’s what my friends and I would say in high school before the keg parties. Hopefully the twins have a different outcome than we did
  9. Also notice gardy was wearing a chain like a cool guy 😂
  10. Well as we piddle another game away, enjoy watching an actually talented twins club play an exciting game. Incredible catch to end it.
  11. They gave rocco the dobnak treatment. Whatever happened to that guy ?
  12. Lopez’s numbers look amazing, even still. Sometimes numbers do lie
  13. Audra couldn’t even get the name out MAT’s charity site out before he K’d lol
  14. So basically we need 7-8 innings out of the starter and duran to close in order to win. Good strategy
  15. 4 blown saves and 1 loss (as of now) in 11 outings. Jorge Colomé over here
  16. 4th blown save in Lopez’s last 11 outings
  17. A reminder that lopez can be shaky too
  18. You could say that almost every night. Duran can’t do it all himself. Others need to contribute
  19. 4 pitches, 2 outs. Not exactly giving the defense a breather
