Wilbur Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Great bounce back inning by Pagan tonight. Trust that heater kid. Get beat with 98 mph. Big time at bats by them Yankees tonight. Good for Gio. Quote

Wilbur Posted June 23, 2022 Posted June 23, 2022 Boy, the Cleveland announcers just couldn't believe Rocco made that move in the 9th....wow.... Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted June 29, 2022 Posted June 29, 2022 They could use Alcala right about now. Do they dare stick Winder in the pen? Quote

I'm not a Rocco guy, but his hands are tied late in games. I'd promote Jax and maybe split Pagan and Moran as bridge guys. They've got to trade for a late inning guy. Duran has been superb, need at least one more guy to compliment Jax. Quote
Username Taken Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Terrible. So many late blown games due to awful pitching. Quote
Wilbur Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Have we ever had a reliever blow 4 in a row to the same team? Oof. Maybe Joe Smith instead of Cotton in that situation, unless he is hurt? Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Ouch afraid we will look back at tonight- the one that got away Quote

Watched Rocco's post game and it seems as though nothing will change with Pagan usage. Quote
Wilbur Posted June 30, 2022 Posted June 30, 2022 Welp.....does Thornburg go out and pitch another inning or who exactly is the next guy in?? Quote

In some ways yes but other times no. The whole bullpen outside of Duran and for the most part Jax scares me, Duffey has been better as of late. Need a major overhaul out there. Quote

The whole bullpen outside of Duran and for the most part Jax scares me, Duffey has been better as of late. Need a major overhaul out there. Agreed. Teams know the Twins will be looking so they've got to go with the reality that it will require a Kepler or a Miranda to make a splash with a bullpen arm that likely will be a rental guy. Jake Cave is killing it in the minors, and its not like the well is dry down there. Quote
Walsh Hall Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 It wouldn't hurt to get an inning or two more from the starters as well. Getting 4/5 innings from the starter adds to the bullpen strain. In the (5) blown games the bullpen pitched a total of 23 innings. Quote
Wilbur Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Buxton will get all the press for his walk off (Deserved), but how good of an at bat did Arraez have to lead off the inning? Made the guy throw all his pitches and then have to go from the stretch with a guy that can run on first against Buxton. He can't run well, doesn't have a great arm, not a superb fielder, not great power, but just finds a way to hit. If he isn't an All Star cancel the game. 1 Quote
sioux rube Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 Another come from behind walk off win for the Twins again today. They were basically dead in the water until the 8th and 9th innings. Miranda this time with the walk off hit Quote
SWSiouxMN Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 The Twins can fix their bullpen by the following 1) Hope that Duffy and/or Pagan bouncebacks are real and last for the rest of the year. 2) Get Joe Smith back and healthy 3) Go to either Winder or Ober and convert them into a reliever (I would lean towards Winder with this ability to piggy back on either Bundy or Archer and you aren't taking Smeltzer out of the rotation until he faulters). 4) Trade for 2 arms. 5) Hope Alcala doesn't have any more setback and comes back the same pitcher that he was in Sept. of last year. Quote
sioux rube Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 5 dingers so far for the Twins. Up 8-2 on the white Sox in the 7th Quote
Wilbur Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Twins win 2 of 3 in Chicago. Bullpen just couldn't hold onto it today. I know they want to watch the Duran usage, but probably should have seen him in the 8th with an off day tomorrow. On to Texas with a 4.5 game lead in the Central. 2 Quote
