My lord.....how poorly coached is this team???? Guess it doesn't help that the Twins are getting outhit 8-1 by the Tigers.

Harper down....Stashak up. No Graterol flare ups and we could see him soon.

It's the end of the road for Harper. Lasted longer than Morin, Parker, Magill, Hildenberger, but it's time to put the old dog down. Bring up Littell, and put Alcala or Graterol on notice that the time is coming. I've got no answer for Berrios.....absolutely lost on the mound now.

I was yelling at the TV to pull him after the walk.....it never helps though....

Rocco leaves Berrios in one guy too long and he hangs one that isn't coming back. They can't lose home games to Detroit.....yikes.

If it was my pick I'd sign Big Mike, and Ode after Berrios gets his pay day. The club has a 500,000 buyout on Perez's last year. It's that or pay him 7.5 million, which goes up to 8.5 if he pitches 170 plus innings. I'd like to see the club decide on Thorpe or Smelter as a starter and make one into a lefty specialist reliever.

A few more months, then goodbye Gibby......Odorizzi probably too. Both are going to get overpaid to pitch poorly next year

Trevor Hildenberger also got back on the mound down in Rochester throwing a scoreless inning and recording a save, but I wouldn't bet on seeing him again in Minnesota this season.

Agreed on the Sox, they'll only get better with the young core and pitching prospects they have.

Graterol with two scoreless innings tonight in his debut for Rochester. Touched 100 mph a couple times but the gun in Rochester rounds up I'm told. Threw his slider 91. Alcala touched 97 yesterday, and it sounds like he will be the one they bring up before Graterol.

Giolito does his thing....surprise.... METS WIN!!!!! Love following other teams when your team is in contention.

Giolitto goes tomorrow so they'll have their work cut out for them. Big spot for Ode to get a series win before a day off and then Detroit for the weekend.

Duffy has been great the past few weeks. Pitching ahead and throwing his offspeed better than he ever has in his career.

Big Mike with 7 good innings. Rolling along....only 87 pitches. Bully is rested......maybe let him start the 8th Rocco??? Maybe????

Nelson Cruz is the biggest Twins free agent signing in years..... I mean going back to.....Jack Morris?

Said the same thing. Put him on and go after the guy hitting .240....

Sano up with a chance.....

Yup. I think they win the challenge too. Plate was blocked before he had the ball. Another case of review guy not doing his job.

Remember when Bubba was coaching Duluth in the D2 days and they played us in the postseason I think and they threw the ball every bleeping play and spread us out the entire game? Think it may have been Danny Gagner's senior year. What happened to that Bubba ball?

Gibby owes the club at least 7. Buckle down, throw 110 plus pitches, and give some arms a break.

May have wanted to pitch around Abreu there with a base open, but it's what you expect with Gibby.

Good call! I think with the arms in the bullpen now we can really make a push with the schedules now. If our starters can get it to the 6th with a lead the arms should be able to ride it home most nights. Gibby tomorrow......

Big four game sweep. Five of six on the road. Now keep the foot on the pedal as Chicago and Detroit come calling.

Dare I say Perez makes it through 5??? Plenty of bullpen options....Cleveland won today......makes winning this one pretty important.

Agreed my friend. Big year for our football team ahead.
