    As the Twins approach the MLB record for home runs I wonder how many people are aware that 10 -- count them TEN -- MLB teams this year are on pace to break the record set last year by the Yankees?

    The offense has to feel deflated. I don't expect a comeback in this one. I'm going for a walk. Have fun everyone.

    Perez is making Gibson look good.

What purpose does Perez serve being on the Twins?

He doesn't have options so they can't send him down. Twins have tried other guys like Smelzer, Stewart, etc and they haven't worked out. They didn't trade for a starter at the deadline. In short, Perez is there to eat innings much like a Hector Santiago is - except Perez plays on a team that needs him to be good. It's a really bad situation that's been festering since June. Front office is whistling in the dark.

Two things seem to happen when you bring in a reliever after a big inning - a quick out, or a home run.

Can we have a big inning too?

 

I wanna big innnniinngggg!

    Tigers did have starting pitching advantage tonight. Doesn't excuse the awful start from Perez and the decision to leave him in the game so long.

    Way to fight back after that tough inning, offense

    Perez was great for about 6 weeks, and now he's back to the guy he was in Texas. He's a 5.00-6.00 ERA starter who will be passable every once in a while, but will implode and isn't worth a spot in the rotation. I never liked the signing, and this is what I envisioned happening... though I didn't see the positive value he'd bring as an ace for about a month.

     

    I'm surprised they haven't tried him in the bullpen extensively, maybe see if he can get his MPH up a few ticks if he only pitches a single inning?

    Dick just seems bewildered how this could possibly happen.

    He won’t accept that the Twins do not have good starting pitching

    Amazing what a big lead can do for a pitcher

    Unleash the mighty Stashak!

    Unleash the Sleestak!!!!! :)

    Kirk Gibson strikes again.

     

    Anybody have any copies of Chief’s old Readers Digests? We need some jokes up in here.

    Twins starting pitching.. not really funny but it is a joke
