    With 3 bullpen innings left to go, they'll need to. If they don't put up at least 3 more, I don't see things working out well tonight.
  2. jud6312
    It'd be nice to have a bullpen arm get through an inning without giving up a run/lead, but I guess with the way things are going we should be thankful that they still have the lead. Now, as long as we don't see Matt B., I'll be more confident.

    Well, that was completely unexpected. http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w420/EDIRPUA/LAFD_Large_Dumpster_Fire_No_Audio_YouTube2.gif

    Bullpen time ... congrats to the Mariners and their fans.

    Jason Tyner, you say? http://www.1500espn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/AP366270133805-408x485.jpg

    Nah. Whoever pitches the 9th might be in desperate need to have something framed. Can't give that up.
  8. jud6312
    Good point. I just assumed Wimmers and that 86 MPH heater would be the only one willing to challenge him.
  9. jud6312
    I wonder if Pujols sent Falvine a fruit basket. Is there any chance Wimmers doesn't give up #600?
  10. jud6312
    Because he's only pitched 2 rough innings so far this year.
  11. jud6312
    That fork just got an extra base hit off of Pressly.
  12. jud6312
    Too much. You're essentially talking about a rotation that has one guy pitching at an unsustainable career-year level; a (at least essentially) rookie who is (hopefully) getting his first long-term, uninterrupted chance to start in the bigs; a veteran #5 who is coming back down to earth; a rookie #5 who's going to be hit or miss; and two former RH "anchors" whose better days seem to be WAY behind them. Then you have a bullpen that has a veteran closer who's probably better suited for a setup role; solid, but young, LH and RH setup men that will probably have their ups and downs; a veteran LOOGY that likes to walk lefties and at almost 37 is still trying to find the right arm slot; and a veritable who cares of batting practice pitchers who, I can only assume, are kept around to improve the self-esteem of the other team. So, unless the plan is to acquire 1-2 starters; 3-4 bullpen arms; and either a backup catcher that can hit or 4th OF that can play defense, then there's no point.

    The Stros thought they could keep that luxurious mane in check for a full series? I don't think so ... Houston, we have a problem.
  14. jud6312
    At least it's nice to see the Twins' 48th round pick of 2008 plays well at Target Field.
  15. jud6312
    Plenty of chances to be the guy falling on the proverbial grenade?
  16. jud6312
    Yikes. I forgot they were playing a day game today and just hopped online to check the score. I see Pressly's doing Pressly things and he apparently rubbed off on Duffey, Henry Santiago remembered that he's Henry Santiago and Wheeler is doing his best to channel the ghost of Pat Dean, but what else did I miss?
  17. jud6312
    After the 15-inning game the other night they shipped him to Rochester and DL'd Haley to make room for Rucinski and Wheeler - the "reinforcements." I'm hopeful it doesn't last much longer than the required 10 days. People can talk about his eye and plate discipline all they want, I prefer to focus on the run he was driving in every 5 PAs.
  18. jud6312
    I've been saying for years now that if you're a generally terrible FA pitcher and your agent isn't targeting the Twins, then your agent needs to be fired. This FO - seemingly regardless of who's running it - is all about trying to pluck that one solid piece of corn from the road apple. Never mind the smudges they get on their hands along the way, so long as everyone sees that one minor sucess.
  19. jud6312
    Of course he won't be in Rochester in a couple of months ... he'll be too busy having dinner at 4 p.m. with Belisle, Breslow and whatever other 300-year-old cadavers the Wonder Twins dig up to compose this summer's bullpen.
  20. jud6312
    How about they just start giving them the wrong flight, bus, game times, etc.? Can't cough up the lead if they're not in the stadium http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/022/138/reece.JPG
  21. jud6312
    Hopefully it's taking longer than normal to get the Mollie's postgame interview because they're trying to figure out all of the roster moves.
  22. jud6312
    I'd start with DFAs for Rucinski, Breslow and Belisle - replace them with Hildenberger, Busenitz and whoever else on the 40-man. Bring up both of them and Melotakis to fill out the 25-man. If you want to option Pressley and bring up pretty much anyone else to take his spot, I'd be OK with that, too. Beyond that, I'd start looking for an actual closer - either Chargois, Curtiss or someone outside of the organization. Kintlzer should be a 7th or 8th inning guy and nothing more.
  23. jud6312
    A wise man once said that you need to let the opponents hit the ball and let your defense do the work for you. Perhaps they took that a little too literally today.
  24. jud6312
    Unless he has any sort of history with the Rangers or Indians. If that's the case, his spot on the 40 is safe.
  25. jud6312
    I was thinking Kintzler's blown save on the 28th would be a good place to start, but it's pretty close.
