Mr. Ed

They are an overall better offensive team minus the 2 flashy guys. More depth in the offensive attack. Makes life easier for the pitchers to go with a nice lead early.

Same thing that happened to Odorizzi and Magill You're absolutely right.

Forsythe can't buy a hit now.

That's why you don't pinch run. HR Rosario.

You'd think Gardy was managing the Twins. Paulie has used a lot of the Gardy cookbook, unfortunately.

Started the runner Great idea to take Austin out of the game for a PR. How Gardy-like.

Pull the plow Adrianza. 3-2 vs RHP, and a slider pitch. Still thrown out.

So Glad Sano is still playing third Happy he got himself into shape. Cannon Arm. Bails Magill out.

Can't Handle Tight Spots

Per Berardino Magill has allowed 8 of 18 (44.4 percent) inherited runners to score. Only Busenitz (5/10) and Hildy (13/23) have been more generous among current #mntwins pen

Twins have the same numbers the radio guys do. 3rd time through OPS vs Odorizzi is over 1.200 Leash needs to be short. Didn't get calls. Well, when you're rep is that you struggle to consistently hit the strike zone, guess what??

Guess they're getting a lot of data for their evaluations of guys. Magill: Not a tight spot pitcher.

McGill is a mopup man Bleh. At least they're finding out now I guess. Stinks. He can join Addison Reed in oblivion.

Don't care if he can hit 97 Can't get guys out. Tie game. BOOOO!

Magill is a mopup guy. Cannot handle tight spots 1 run game now.

And just like that Odor falls apart Magill in a high leverage spot here in the sixth. Oh boy.

Just needed buck farmer to leave the game. Reality for DET set in. Love the dingers. Odorizzi right the ship after the 2nd. Credit where it's due.

Odor has been miserable most of the season, but that's ok, with his 5 inning efforts, he's earning his next arbitration paycheck.

Farmer allows 1 out walk. First baserunner. Very good vs LH hitters this year So of course MN runs out lefties in 4 of the first 5 batters.

Kirilloff 4-4/2 doubles/R. 21 doubles in FTM. had 20 in CR, in 17 more games Hitting .378 Machine

On Cue to this article Kirilloff doubled in the second (#20 at FTM) and Rortvedt singled him in. Miranda walked in between, as did Costello

Completely agree May needs the opps too. But hey, Danny says they're evaluating him on the closer role. Ok, he's passed. Next!

And 2 days in a row double play ends the game 5th sweep of the year. 11 over at TField Horrid on the road.

Scoreless in last 10 outings 7.1IP this month, 2 hits, 1 HBP and 11 Ks. Radio says he's starting to use a slider he's worked on more.

Makes little sense not to give May a shot. But whatever, The cookbook put him in the closer spot. Yah-freakin'-who I want to see others pitch. Except Addison Reed. He's further forgotten than May and Drake.
