When are the Twins going to get serious and release these useless has has beens and get some major league relief pitchers

i hear the twins are in talks to schedule the washington generals for 162 games next season.

Are we going to play with the Twins' balls or the Generals'?

 

It's borderline malpractice that Falvine have done absolultely nothing to improve this pen. 

 

Cody Allen doesn't make you feel much better about the future of the bullpen? lol

 

What about those other scrubs they signed to MILB contracts?

 

Maybe other teams aren't making their guys available yet or they are asking the moon and neither have flinched yet. I find this hard to believe and I think that we're going to be disappointed at the trade deadline. Ultimately, I think it is up to the fans to make a stand. There needs to be a serious protest scheduled if they do absolutely nothing at the deadline; something like absolutely no one going to a homestand or something.

ahem...phrasing.

I thought we were all mature adults here.

Verrrryyyyy mature.

 

There, I said it before someone else did.

Long ball here.

I don't find this hard to believe at all. 

 

None of us can know what options are out there and whether or not we would have found those options desirable. Maybe they are asking for Lewis, Kirilloff, and Graterol.

Cruz missed his pitch.

Let's take this bit of luck and make something of it.

 

Cruz missed his pitch.

 

So did the catcher!

Verrrryyyyy mature.

Was that sarcasm? Some boards use /s at the end of posts to indicate sarcasm. Maybe we could avoid an inter-state incident by employing that strategy

Yes.

Arraez sucks. Send him down.

If teams are asking for those three it'd better be a couple badass players coming back to the Twins. When's the last time three top 50 prospects have been involved in a deal? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

With 2 strikes, Arraez is a sucker for a dirt ball right down the middle. Gotta learn to lay off 'em. 

 

Yes.

I'd have went with "no," but live like you wanna live, honey.

Good edit. I definitely would have thought you were serious on that one. I was going to suggest DFA, even if we had options on him

This is where the multiple LH hitters in a row, intended to trouble Pineda, become something of a liability.

Cam Maybin and Andrew Miller were included in a trade - got back Cabrera

Andrus and Saltalamachia - got back Texiera

Giolito and Renaldo Reyes - got back Adam Eaton

 

That's what I found for top 50 prospects being dealt in one deal.

 

Jeez, why do we ever have someone not named Taylor Rogers pitch?

Three more for Rogers? I still think his versatility makes him an All-Star. 

I'd have went with "no," but live like you wanna live, honey.

Admittedly, i said nothing about what they would be used for...

 

And i apologize. I was wrong.

 

Other people have said "yes" before...

Throw Will Smith and/or Giles into this bullpen and the Twins will have a dominant end game staff

I'm liking Tim Laudner in the booth. He's kind of like Morris, but with a little less edge.

I hate Laudner in the booth. He never shuts up and comes across as lecturing.

I thought Paul Bunyan was at the plate for that toss.

Call time late, throw the ball at the umpire, I like it

C'mon, Sano!

 

Hit for the cycle!

Thank you, Marwin!
