    Duffey is our "shutdown guy".

    Time to send Harper back to AAA and get him on the shuttle. The guy will have a nice story to tell his grandkids about his MLB days, but this little Disney movie's gone on long enough. There's no reason Gaterol should not be in this bullpen.

    Didn't even come out to defend his catcher when that interference call happened. Garver arguing and looking for support, Baldelli chewing seeds and sipping gatorade.

    And OMG Cleveland tied it with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th on a Lindor double.
  5. bighat
    How about a tailspin? Nosedive?
  6. bighat
    Well, just another gut punch of a game. Disgusted with this team. Yeah yeah, 2 more innings, I know. Unreal.
  7. bighat
    Harper's done, no idea why he's in there. Rocco doesn't want to hurt his feelings or something?
  8. bighat
    Harper looking about as hittable as he's ever looked. Rats.
  9. bighat
    This ump got money on the Brewers, or the under?
  10. bighat
    AD-REE-ANZAH! Professional at bat there buddy.
  11. bighat
    Smoke, mirrors, whatever we will TAKE IT. Strong finish, now c'mon bullpen let's do this!
  12. bighat
    Not sure Perez has another inning in him....like Vegas, it might be time to walk away while ahead.
  13. bighat
    Polanco has been flashing the leather!
  14. bighat
    Attaboy, Mitch Garver!
  15. bighat
    No runs for the 'Crew, we'll take it.
  16. bighat
    I'm guessing Perez has to see the writing on the wall and knows he's pitching to keep his job right now. Wish there wasn't so much pressure on this team, but every game it seems like there's something.
  17. bighat
    Way to work that walk Polanco.

    It's also a historic run by the Indians, and history may focus more on their unbelievable hot streak. Because if they do win the division, it certainly will be referenced a ton. "Folks, while this 2026 Charlotte Marlins team is a whopping 10 games out of first, just remember those 2019 Indians came back from a bigger hole, so there's a chance folks". It's something you'll hear for ages. Losing the division looked so improbable earlier this season that there were many articles on many websites that discussed the Twins playoff rotations. Heck there was even one here last week! There's a real chance this team does not make the playoffs. This team may be fighting for their post-season lives by next week.

    Well, 2 games up for the #1 WC spot. I think we're 4 games ahead right now as far as making the playoffs, in general. Milwaukee is just a half-game out of their own WC spot as well. A lot to play for tonight....
  20. bighat
    Not allowing a no-out grand slam in the 10th inning would have also helped. I'm kinda done with the whole Diaz thing, horse was dead by Sunday night. It's Tuesday morning already! Let's win today!
  21. bighat
    Ugh, I saw the Cleveland score this morning and was thinking the same thing. Here's hoping this sparks some much-needed fire in the Twins clubhouse. Fingers crossed regarding tonight's game in Milwaukee.
  22. bighat
    Agreed, but I think addressing "suck costs" is one of the hardest things for baseball FO's to do. This FO has dropped Parker, Morin, Allen, and others in what has looked like a good trend. However, expecting them to give up on Perez - even though it's as plain as day that they need to - is expecting a lot. They're stuck with that small-market thinking, and they don't want to burn service time (ie: Buxton last year, Gaterol this year) on young players. Therefore, they leave the team out to die on that hill with Perez. They're so distracted by the forest, they can't see tree right in front of them.

    BTW, Milwaukee and Texas are not going to roll over for the Twins. This is a dangerous week.
  24. bighat
    I think the Twins seriously need to think about taking a page out of the Rays' playbook and start using the "Opener" strategy moving forward. Imagine going with Duffey in the 1st, Thorpe or Dubrovni-whats-his-name in the 2nd & 3rd, Perez for the 4-5-6 and see what you've got from there. At this point you have to get creative with this pitching staff. Because right now, 3/5 of this starting rotation is not giving the Twins any chance to win. Solution? Stop letting them start games.
  25. bighat
    Yeah I'm guessing that'll definitely happen. Until then....I guess you just kinda do your best to hide the guy in the back of the 'pen. Mop-up guy, maybe there will be another 12-2 thumping and he can eat some innings, for example. At this point I can't see any reason to either start Perez, or put the guy in any type of pressure bullpen situation. Twins are really stuck with dead weight right now unfortunately, eating up a valuable roster spot while he's at it. Same goes for Schoop.
