This is on Paul.   You bring up two pitchers..to sit there and watch???   Instead of going with these two new arms you use Press and Breslow who eached pitched 25 pitches, and now you are going with s

Before I move on to other things… I want to start by saying that today is Memorial Day. I want to lead with this because Memorial Day should not be forgotten. That wasn’t meant to be a pun… it was res

There should be a new manager in the dugout tomorrow. There needs to be accountability at all levels.   Sheer stupidity, and you could see it coming from a mile away.

I hate to say it but I just did it. 

 

I hung on to him all year but I just dropped Byron Buxton from my fantasy team. Logan Morrison was available... I have Belt but he is OF Eligible so he can replace Buxton in the OF... So I did it. 

 

I kept waiting for Buxton to rise and Morrison to regress. Morrison looked locked in this weekend. 

 

 

I pushed the button... it's a done deal... no looking back now. 

If your luck is like mine, he will immediately start to rake.

 

So on behalf of Twins fans everywhere, thank you for taking one for the team.

Radio says Buxton has a lacerated finger on his rt. hand. Day to day.

 

Given the 10 day DL list I sure hope day to day means one of two things, he plays or goes to the DL tomorrow.  I don't want to throw his defense away for potentially 7 or 8 extra games but time away wouldn't be the worst for him.

Am I missing something? The Twins called up TWO fresh pitchers. There is now a SIX run lead. But Pressly is warming up?

If Paul isn't going to use them, why bring them up?

 

Because you never know when your gonna need to use 3 or 4 relief pitchers, and they aren't good enough to be our #1 option

Agreed. And clearly he know more than I do. This illustrates how we fans can be completely wrong.

 

It doesn't make you wrong... it doesn't make you right. 

 

But even if you are wrong... you are right... because you have always understood that there is more than what meets the eye and you have seen cats skinned in many different ways.

Had to be done. It's just business.

Who cares if he goes 0-3. Astros have pop and as we saw last inning the OF defense is very important. The step down from Byron to either Grossman or Ehire is huge!! And the difference from Ehire and Byron's bat is not very different at all. Stupid move, unless it was done medically. 

It was medical after all

Why exactly are we using Pressly after a 25 pitch outing yesterday in a 6 run ballgame when we just called up 2 new pitchers? 

 

I would have given one of the new guys a shot with a 6 run lead. A chance to rest the entire pen. 

 

Molitor probably talked with everyone in the pen and asked them how they felt. Pressly probably sounded ready and willing in his response.

Who's talking about #1 option?

 

Six run lead. S I X. 1,2,3,4,5,6 run lead. If you can't get 3 outs, or even 6, without giving up 6 runs, you shouldn't be on the roster.

 

Yeah, bringing in Pressly sure has worked out well.

 

And now thanks to Molitor's utter incompetence, someone from the Twins will get drilled next inning.
