Wilbur Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 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.

Wilbur Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 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.

As weird as it sounds, I don't think they are going to go away from this 6 man rotation tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the Twins finally have a more than servicable 4th outfielder in Celestino. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Interesting comments made by both Buxton and Kepler recently about the locker room being more cohensive. Make you think that a certain trade to the Yankees and a certain SS not being on the team anymore really cleared the decks. I won't get into any of the Lewis stuff, that was a manufactured contraversey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanchez will be solid for the Twins and Gio will settle in. He is a great teammate and I think probably helping the good clubhouse vibe there. Interested to see how the series go when they match up in early June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 If the Twins could have hit at all during this series they could have saved Duran for today instead of giving the Tigers the last guy in the pen today in Megill. Instead in comes Megill and the rest is history. Much different at bats at the end and they scrape across a sweep. Series win.....but have to sweep Detroit....have to.....

Basically every team is going to win 60 games, and every team is going to lose 60 games. The Twins are 5-1 against Detroit thus far this season. They have 13 more games against the Tigers. They probably will lose at least 2-3 more times. Take a deep breath...it's a long season. ; ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
