Twins baseball not a hot topic anymore. I was very wrong about Gary Sanchez, has been hitting well of late. This stretch of games with the Tigers and Royals needs to be dominated. Detroit's pitching is in shambles, and they'll be facing the Royals without Twin's killer Salvodor Perez. Win these games you are supposed to win before the Yankees and Tampa come and beat us a few times.

So now..... -Paddack is out for the year. -Archer can't get people out. -Bundy exactly who we thought he was. Leaves us: Ryan, Winder, Sonny, and Ober as guys you can put on the mound. Cash dumped Donaldson to NY but wish NY would have kept Gio and Sanchez. And now it's too late and those guys are in the untradeable ship and dead weight.

Looking ahead....Bundy is getting skipped this next week. You've got the Stros and Indi....Guardians coming in next week. Guessing Buxton sits today.

Twins picked the perfect team to not hit against. Hope Buxton isn't hurt....again. A nice start for Royce. Good to see him hit a bit.

Of course Correa gets hurt after Sano, and Sonny, and Buxton....dumb.

I think you are right. I'd like a five man to get Ryan and Gray on the mound more often, but you can never have too much starting pitching.

So when Gray comes back you've got: 1. Gray 2. Ryan 3. Paddack 4. Archer 5. Winder 6. Bundy 7. Ober Gotta go with five: 1. Ryan 2. Gray 3. Winder 4. Paddack 5. Archer Maybe Ober over Archer but if Winder faulters its good to Archer around. Bundy gets one more start, and if explodes again I'm guessing he is on his way.

Bundy gives up six....team rallies to get back into the game....Bundy gives up three more.... If its 6-0 pitch until your arm falls off. After the lineup got you back into the game you need to go back with a guy that gives you a chance to win. Now its 9-4 and a hill to climb.

At least Archer got through 4 today. 9-1. Good road win.

Guys guys.......come on....

There is the Bundy I figured they were getting.

Can't believe we didn't take Williams or Even Hamilton there at 12. I'm calling that trade a loss. So the Lions finally beat us.

Great move by Rocco getting Ober out. (Unless he got hurt, not watching). These are games you need to win. The AL Central is extremely bad this year.

Thank you Nelson Cruz. You got us an ace, that is under team control for six years..... 6 in a row for Rocco....

Lost in all that.....what in the baserunning world are Sano and Larnach doing? Larnach....half way.....Sano.....the guy ahead of you is still on seco..... Thankfully its Detroit. 5 in a row!

Rocco.....the bullpen.....come on....

Best of luck to Mr. Budy. I have a few diabetics in my family and being able to manage that while being a collegiate athlete takes commitment.

I like the Bundy story, but I can't see it lasting. Five innings is the max for him because getting to the third time through a lineup he just doesn't have the stuff to keep hitters off balance. Archer in the same boat. Get it to the pen with a chance in the 6th and they've done their job. Jury still out on Paddack. He may have to throw a gem or two to get me on board with that trade.

Buxton just a dude. Hopefully this showed Rocco why Arraez needs to be in the lineup behind Buxton. Anybody else and they put Buck on, but with how good of a hitter Arraez is you can't take that chance.

Boy, and Cichy just didn't do anything...

Him and Kepler. Let Arraez play first. Larnach and Gordon in the lineup add more than those 2. 3 in a row!

Great read on when to jump the zone and made no doubt on the breakaway. Thought he played a great 4th line center today, very responsible defensively, won some draws too. That team is so loaded its stupid.

Spicer snipes one for a 7-3 lead. Anxious to see where he ends up now. And now Howard with his 4th. These USA kids could be up 12-1 with how they've dominated. Excellent for college hockey.

Jackson Blake has got his work cut out for him if he's going to win NCHC rookie of the year. Howard with his third. Although Canada's d zone is about as clean as my ten year old's room.

The Dogs got one with Howard. Love kids with a shoot first mentality. Wonder how many shots he's attempted so far.
