The excuse for keeping May in the bullpen was that he's too valuable there to move back to the rotation.
If he no longer has value in the pen he should be moved back into the rotation.

Keeps up like this, it'll be the dinner rotation on the grill at Denny's.

 

Omfg a 1,2,3 inning!

 

Oh,  MFG!    Easy as 1,  2,  3!

Wonder how Craig Breedlove's slider looks now... we know he has the #1.

 

A slider at that speed... Uff Da.

Nah, some other team that has a clue will turn May into an ace pitcher.

Maybe they'll sign Amanda Whurlitzer.

I noticed this even before the rain delay....Target Field attendance looks a lot like the KC attendance about 5 years ago.  

 

Maybe they'll sign Amanda Whurlitzer.

They already signed Rudy Stein and Timmy Lupus. Can't go back to the same well too often.

 

When Dick read tonight's trivia question Bert should've replied, who cares!

 

That would mean Bert cares that the team stinks. He hasn't since he went into the Hall of Fame.

 

Maybe they'll sign Amanda Whurlitzer.

Isn't she heir to the Whurlitzer Juke Box fortune? 

 

 

 

Nah ... Paul Molitor breezed by this morning and removed any shred of faith I may have formerly held in him.

Fret not,   troubled fan.     His redemption is just a one out sac bunt away...

good.

I notice the Royals seem to be able to hit to all fields. Seems like there should be a lesson there for a certain member of the Twins.

Build a wall à la Trump which runs from third to second to first?

Or the Kid on the Dirt Bike.

There's been a sharp,  coincidental decline in his interest in advanced metrics since then too,   I've noticed.   A more cynical person might think that interest was only based on what metrics could do to build his case for the Hall.    Luckily cynicism is biologically incompatible with Twins fandom.

 

Or the Kid on the Dirt Bike. 

He was a center fielder. That would be a sign and trade.

Yep... Contact hitters... Hit it Hard and hit it where it's pitched and then run around the bases. 

 

 

Does anyone know of any 12 step programs in the Twin Cities for frustrated and angry Twins fans?

Does Grossman realize he's in a Twins uniform?

All I know... I'd put him back in the lineup tomorrow.

I believe that's also known as a "Pub Crawl."

Robbie Grossman should be our All Star representative!

He's the Twins' fourth outfielder.

 

Statistically speaking, that makes all the difference.

 

Mauer?

//ducks//

Maybe I should amend it to "some members of the Twins."

It's decent logic... Other than... you know... May pitching really bad at this moment.

So before he was too good to go back to the rotation and now he's too bad?

 

Is there a situation where he should get another shot at starting?

I've been saying that since his first game when he went 3 for 4 with a couple of RBI's.

Next year?

One thing we don't talk about much with AAA veterans like Dean and Rogers is that, when they do come up, they look far less overwhelmed by The Show then the younger cats. Even if their stuff isn't as fizzy as some, they seem a lot more emotionally composed than the guys that are fast-tracked. I don't expect to see Taylor Rogers implode emotionally if somebody bangs a ball over the fence off him. 

 

That said, why not call up a couple more AAA veterans like Wheeler, Wimmers and Albers? None of these guys is going to wow the radar gun, but they've spent enough time in the high minors so that they're thoroughly familiar with their games.
