Mahle goes tonight. Lets see what he has.

Unfortunately, Cotton was DFA'd on Tuesday. It should have been Pagan.
But, the Twins brass doesn't consult with us before they make personnel moves........

Yeah I missed that. Stupid.

Cotton isnt great either his FIP says he was getting lucky. But at least he hasnt officially blown games

Pagan has 8 outings of 2 runs or more. Thats fucking nuts.

Tyler Duffey was just DFA'd and Cole Sands recalled.

Twins Release Tyler Duffey

The Twins are designating long-time setup man Tyler Duffey for assignment after a lengthy period of struggles. Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

Had Duffey continued to pitch the way he did from 2019-21, the team wouldn't have needed to bring in many other arms. He was really good those 3 years. This year? Not so much.
How much longer will Pagan's leash be?
Cotton was assigned to St. Paul, so he is just a phone call away if he gets whatever issues the front office has with him worked out.

Baldelli already said he will continue to use Pagan as is.

We need Baldelli to get run over by a train first it appears.

Berrios has started his night with 2, 7 pitch innings.

Our offense is fucking awful. Worst part is, Beckham/Contreras/Leon havent even batted yet.

Just a brutal time for Arraez, Correa and Polanco to all suck while Buxton sits out yet again.

 

[catman]

The Twins are going to get something for Jose Godoy. The Pirates claimed him.
Also, Contreras hit one out to left. He could be a decent player.

Well, this woke them up

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Berrios sucks

Boy did we trade him at the right time.

 

[catman]

Sure. Take credit.

The Twins did get some talent for him.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Sure. Take credit.

I have to.

When trash can Contreras goes yard right away, theres magic in the air.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Mahle, a lot like Pagan in that everyone loves the "stuff" but it doesnt matter if you miss frequently. Cause that shit flies out in a hurry.

The change in park has helped him though. Jays have 3 homers tonight, theyd have at least 5 if this were Cincy.

 

[catman]

Yahoo had Duran throwing 102-103. Is he that fast?

Hes had multiple clocked at that tonight.

He hits 102 quite frequently. 103 is his peak

 

[catman]

I've got to get to a game sometime to see him for myself.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

JFC.

Blue Jays straight up handed that game to us. And we finally accepted.

Wins a win though.

Big outing from Fulmer. Gonna need a rain out tomorrow. Pagan is our only available reliever.

 

[catman]

Ugly win tonight, but as you said, a win is a win.
Who starts tomorrow night? Bundy?

Unfortunately. Doubt the game even happens though

 

[VikingFan2k2]

Yes, and I'm nervous that will screw up any chance we have of winning this series. Bundy and Archer flat out cannot be counted on.

I like Duffey as a person. He seems to be a genuine guy and his wife has always been a sweetheart that has tipped well at the bar. But he had to go. We can't keep running him out there when he's been this awful.
