DFA Jake Cave!

Smelter — 4 innings, 3 hits, no runs, no walks, in less than 50 pitches.

We might have some quality middle inning relief guys in these rookies here

Send Cave down after the game. Bring up Jay Davis. Cave has been disappointing this season when in Minnesota.

Buxton suddenly feels much better tomorrow, Cave sent down

Jake Cave is trying to take out Rosario only way he may get back onto the field after his horrible play tonight! Needs to sent packing ASAP ! Hurry back Buxton please!

6 pitches, 2 K’s.

Am I greedy to want an Arraez double so he can't get doubled off to end the inning?

Why can’t we have someone like Kahnle?

Pfft! We have Trevor May!

Kahnle’s whip is a hair lower than rogers’

I don't see anyone warming up in the Twins pen, Smeltzer for the 9th

No chance for Schoop

Damn, Kahnle is basically unhittable tonight.

Devin is making a strong case to be the #5 starter next season.

Or next week, honestly

Smeltzer is making a strong case to be our ONLY starter next season. 

Maybe we shouldn't start 2 players with the same first name in the same game, again. Today, players named Jake were clearly cursed.

#2 if he can shut the Yankees down like this

Gonzalez and Schoop K on 6 pitches. Rookie with 150 MLB at bats sees 7 and puts it in play.

 

And that’s all I have to say about that.

#2 if he can shut the Yankees down like this

# 1

I'm calling a Cruz walk off 

 

# 1

#0. They just declare a Twins win when he's in the lineup.

102 pitches in four innings for Odorizzi.

 

49 pitches in four innings for Smeltzer.

Has Smeltzer quick-pitched Encarnacion four times yet?

 

Because that's totally what he should do.

What this series has taught me is that the twins need to avoid playing the Yankees in the playoffs. Their offense can hit right along with ours and barring some big signings, their pitching, especially late inning relief, is better. We could steal a win or possibly 2, but I can’t believe we’d be favored to take a series.

Wonder what the move will be after tonights game? Almost certain Smeltzer will be sent down after throwing 50 pitches, but who knows. Ian Krol maybe? He has MLB experience, although he isn't on the 40 man. Poppen is on the 40 man, as is Romero, but he threw 3 innings tonight. No way he is recalled. Moya and Poppen haven't thrown since monday, Krol threw 13 tonight.

That really stinks.

You guys jinxed Smeltzer, own what you did.

Marrs a great performance because it’s a dagger

That's a bummer man
