Glad we traded a top pitching prospect for another shitty reliever.

Great work again Curly Ryan!!

I am just looking for reasons why they have not already called him up. I do not follow his play, AAA ball, or even read scouting reports. When he was up before he was decent. Not great.

We stunk today. Suzuki missed a ball Rosario threw that would have had a runner. Perkins looks worse and worse each outing. Jepsen does not look any different than the old days. No bats vs. Iwakuma, what a 39 inning scoreless streak? Mauer in a slump of right at em grounders and liners. Only Dozier did anything.... again.

It was tough to watch.

I told you the reason we haven't called him up. We have a GM that is in way over his head. He has literally no clue what he's doing. Like at all.

We just recently had 4 short stops on our roster.

Our bench now consists of Eacobar/Nunez, Fryer and Robinson.

What a 3 man combo that is.

Pitchers are going to keep realizing the book on Rosario too.

Just simply don't throw him a strike. Back to back walks and he will still swing at balls near his head

And Boyer gets shelled again.

And again no changes will be made to this team.

Such a travesty

add to that I just saw AJ Pierzynski tie up a game for the Braves with a 2 out, 2 run homer.. he would look better than Suzuki breaking up the righthanders in the middle of the lineup. You were right about that one.

AJ is having a great year.

I'm not calling anyone a savior here. Just calling them vast improvements.

We just simply don't have left handed threats and it's amazing we are not doing anything about it.

Gotta be honest, I'm feeling pretty darned disheartened about the Twinkies right now.

Maybe they still have a chance to sneak in with a wild card spot but even if they do, I don't see them competing when and if they get there.

:pout:

I have to say though, one guy who seems to keep getting a run in for the Twins lately is Torii Hunter. No regrets on that signing!

Too bad one run from either him or Dozier is never enough for the pitching staff to secure a win..

Torii OPS is like .550 since the All Star break. That is absolutely awful.

Nobody deserves praise right now. Heck even dozier has his 2 Ks a game.

Have you seen their batting averages lately?

God this team is typical.

Finally get a 3 run inning and Plouffe gets fucking picked off.

Then our prospect whose given up 1 homer all year walks Tulo and serves up another Donaldson bomb.

Can't script this shit

Eric fryer is the worst player we've ever had in a twins uniform and that's saying something considering he replaced Hermann and we had a guy named Clete Thomas.

But holy hell our GM prefers him and Robinson 8 and 9 rather than Arcia/Kepler and Pierzynski lol

When he's cranking clutch homers Dozier is fun. But he's a really shitty hitter when it comes to just all around hitting

Sano has been awesome. His homer was crushed every bit as much as Donaldson or Bautistas. He can mash with the big boys.
