Wait, Reed is available and not pitching? Ugh.

 

And, hey, only having a 24 man roster? cool.....is any other playoff contendor doing this?

What is that about?

 

EDIT: Think I answered my own question. Kinley? Agree. Get Busenitz or Duffey up here on the next flight to MPLS

If the Twins go through the 2018 season with only one reliable reliever, they won’t have to worry about contending.

Any time they want to DFA Duke would be fine with me.  

 

One thing I've noticed a lot in these first few games is that this pitching staff does a ton of nibbling.

 

I think part of that is the lineup that Houston has. I don't remember this much going for the edges against Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I do agree that they should lose this allergy they have to throwing strikes when they're up 0-2 in the count

You want Duke DFA'd 10 games in? That's funny. Remember how long they stuck with Belisle and Breslow last year? You're better off calling for Duke to hit the DL with an 'injury'.

Still wondering what he brings to the table that Ryan O’Rourke did not.

 

Here's hoping Tyler Jay brings something neither can in about a month.

 

The guy I'm most disappointed in is Hildenberger. ERA be damned, he looks awful. And only one strikeout in 5 appearances? What year does he think it is? 

 

He was bad in the spring too, I don't think there's any 'leash' issue here, he can be replaced tonight.

Not to bring down the mood gang but get prepared for the full ride. The safety bar has just come down on the "Fernando Rodney Experience" ride. Assuming Reed can get us through the 8th. (cue the Lord's Prayer) :unsure:
