The Twins open up a 4 game series with the Red Sox tonight. For those of you keeping track, and I know that most of you are, of all the stadiums that I’ve personally been to… Fenway is my 2nd favorit

Lol Vargas is possibly the slowest person alive

I knew I had seen that Vargas 'run' from third to home before, and I finally tracked it down on Youtube

Oh god, they're really making a tv series about the first woman to play in the majors?

 

Good thing it's not about people who play LIKE girls. You'd just have to pop in our 2016 yearbook.

Dick:  "The Twins' bullpen has undergone a major facelift since the start of the season".

 

True, but with the trade deadline and roster expansion, we probably haven't seen the final version yet...

Among the many disappointments of the 2016 season, Trevor May ranks near the top (bottom?) for me.

 

Here he is, brought into a mopup role (for good reason), he's throwing 93-94 (instead of 98) with little command, can't throw anything else for a strike, appears disinterested, and getting shelled.

 

What happened?

This might not be a popular answer, but I think that a guy who thought, rightfully or wrongly, that he was going to be a middle of the rotation starter, ends up in a non defined role in the BP. That's what happened. And I imagine this happening while the SP was basically the worst in baseball made it worse. May isn't blameless by any extent, but he had plenty help.

I'm afraid I have to agree.

 

It's beginning to look like there is a real chance that Span and Revere will have been traded for zero return.

 

I'd say it's time to pull the plug permanently on this May to the bullpen experiment, let him get 8 to 10 starts to close out the season and use that info going into ST next year.
