I will take Fulmer 100 times over Pagan! Anyone watching the Twins after tge 6th inning last year knows Fulmer was at least reliable , Pagan didn’t get a big out all season last year. Pagan must have incriminating pictures of Falvey.

Last I looked (10 minutes ago) we have a massive hole at shortstop, might want to fill that void before worrying about adding an average starter to the rotation at a unnecessarily high salary.

Point is no matter what Stu's satire is. It is a stupid rule made by the Canadians that is no longer relevant. For those that argue it is I don't see the rule applicable in the States... because it is a stupid rule.

I don't understand our managers infatuation with picking unstable relievers to close. How many games has our manager lost or almost lost by his insane love of certain relievers during high leverage situations. (see last 3 years) Plus what the hell was his thought process on leaving Bundy in to get shelled, then Bundy goes on DL, maybe should of figured out he was hurt before he was allowed to give up a ton of runs.

How about the Twins suck it up and find a shortstop! This would be such a Twins like move to have Palonco go back to short because they are too cheap to find an actual solution. This is just a disaster waiting to happen if you move him back, Twins need to act like a real MLB team and trade for a real shortstop or get Story.

love this lineup! maybe someone other than Stroman. feel like he is due for regression and not sure he is a clubhouse fit. maybe a Marlans or another Oakland pitcher. really like the bullpen especially with Knebel, Hand and Rogers for. late innings. i really believe they. need Miranda up early and feel like I would rather have Arraez in the outfield and not bother with Piscotti.

This could be the greatest trade in Major League history! The fact that the Cardinals actually gave us 2 players and didn’t demand we throw in Buxton to take Happ off our hands makes it better than the Babe Ruth trade from Boston to the Yankees for cash.

Well the spotlight shines even brighter on one of the Twins biggest weaknesses, incredibly bad defense. No one talks about it but it is a constant glaring weakness which has cost them games.

Easy fix pick up a solid 7th inning guy Rogers in the 8th and a high end closer. No more excuses, it could mean the difference between making the playoffs and winning some playoff games.

Need Bullpen Help Now!! Starters aren't our problem.

Not that tough, Twins need at least 2 reliable relievers. It won't break the "bank" of young players. The Twins are a relief core away from contending seriously. We have a fairly young core of players and there are a couple of young relievers that we could control available (e.g. Greene, Detroit). 3/4 of our minor league will never see the Big's with the Twins. I have been a fan since 1964 this is one of the rare years we could seriously contend. Just go get some relievers!! I am not uninformed!

Littell and Arraez more than likely. Leaves 7 relievers who have not been taxed at all lately Arraez needs to play and he won't much if he stayed up.

The thing I think stands out the most is his lineup changes daily. This normally would drive me crazy but the Twins have so many weapons this year that it could be huge advantage as the year wears on. Injuries won't hurt as much because we have guys with lots of at bats to fill in and have played multiple positions which is rare. Also guys getting rested never hurts if you have a shot to make it to the playoffs. Now the key in doing this is we are scoring at a record pace, how long that keeps up will be the question. Everything looks good when you score 16 runs, at some point we will have a losing streak but hard to argue with the success he has had with his strategy. My question though is who gets the credit for the barrel hitting? Why or how have the Twins figured out this momentous contact? t Baldelli? Hitting Coach? Cruz? Or just contagious hitting?

Chalk it up to the manager. Trying to be too much a players guy, need to think about how to win not just how to get players confidence back, not in the ninth inning.

someone please explain to the rookie manager that you don't put in your reliever who's ERA has ballooned to over 6 recently in to close!!! Even with a 4 run lead, especially against this lineup. Managing error again.
