Mike Tauchman absolutely owns the twins. It’s embarrassing

 

9th hitter.

[Riverbrian]

 

Cardinals move. Can always move back to the rotation later.

 

I've watched the Astros move Peacock back and forth. The Dodgers move Maeda around. 

 

Pomeranz, Minor and a bunch of others... The precedent has been smashed... only convention holds it in place.

So, Royce Lewis for Will smith and Alex Kirilloff for Ken Giles?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

So, Royce Lewis for Will smith and Alex Kirilloff for Ken Giles?

Actually.... no

[Aggies7]

Just an embarrassing conglomeration of pitchers we have on this team. It’s appalling

[Mill1634]

Welp. This is about I expected this to go. Thorpe is nothing more than an AAAA starter, and nothing suggested he'd be real effective in relief, especially medium to high leverage against a really good Yankees lineup. 

[h2oface]

welp, Thorpe is no Kimbrel.

[Tom Froemming]

This meeting: 

Listen, you're not coming out until at least the eighth, so get your **** together.

Also, sorry about your dog.

 

Because Wes is a player's coach.

[Krabby5]

Its been nice to take advantage of the weak part of it, but schedules are identical and I was saying how i abhor the fact espn gives no love to the twins or indians regardless of what they do

Right..but they are playing the media and East Coast darlings the Yankees...

[h2oface]

 

So, Royce Lewis for Will smith and Alex Kirilloff for Ken Giles?

 

Then who do you hype in the minor league articles? 

[Mill1634]

THANK YOU WES!!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

We needed that.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

6 4 3

 

Of course

[DocBauer]

Was just going to pray for a double play. Kharma!

The Littell treatment, eh?

yea man, id be losing my mind right now...ur team is TOO good to have a pen this pathetic...super frustrating, and i want to win the central as a tribe fan obvi but also root for u guys too (weird dynamic this year i know ha)

[Brock Beauchamp]

Thorpe is kinda pumped there, deservedly so. Putting that kid out there tonight is a big ask.

[h2oface]

Big play. Out the inning with a only a 9.00 ERA for the game.

[VATwinsFan]

Twins will need at least 10 to win.

[Krabby5]

Is there any doubt that the WS is Yankees/Dodgers?

[USAFChief]

Timely.

 

Risk another inning from Thorpe?

 

He fooled nobody that inning.

[Tom Froemming]

 

Then who do you hype in the minor league articles? 

HEY, I take personal offense to that! How are we gonna sell Prospect Handbooks without those guys!?!?!?!

[Bandit34]

Get 5 runs or put Taylor in!

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Timely.

 

Risk another inning from Thorpe?

 

He fooled nobody that inning.

Have to do it. It's game one of a three game set and the Twins don't have an off day for a week.

 

And it's not as if Rochester is exactly bursting at the seams with better options should he fail.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The Twins front office admitted they tried to build an 80-85 win team this year, but then April and May happened

[TribeAZ13]

 

welp, Thorpe is no Kimbrel.

Jim is dead, but maybe Otis Thorpe would have been a better call than Lewis??  . granted, he played in the NBA and is 60, but meh

[Aggies7]

Timely.

 

Risk another inning from Thorpe?

 

He fooled nobody that inning.

Not true, he fooled me into thinking the lead was gone

[Mill1634]

So, Parker in the 7th and Rogers for 8 + 9? 

 

Can go Harper-Parker-Rogers if you only want to use Rogers for one inning I suppose. 

[TribeAZ13]

 

Is there any doubt that the WS is Yankees/Dodgers?

Wont happen
