Twins need to extend Nelson Cruz as long as he wants to play the game.

Miserable hitting against horrible pitching continues for the Twins.

I guess Trevor May does not have the mentality to be a closer.

Thorpe tends to make sure Adrianza get to pitch in the game.

Both Vargas and Thorpe should be released.

Anyone wants to see Thorpe in Twins uniform?

It's time to let Adrianza pitch.

Twins turned 4 DPs and yet gave up 5 earned runs...

Thorpe is not a major league pitcher.

Vargas = Automatic out

Dobnak isn't fooling any Tigers players today.

Vargas should be released.

Why is Vargas batting 5th and Kepler batting 8th? What's the logic?

Twins may want to extend Cruz as long as he wants to play the game.

Hader's fastball velocity is way down! Jeffers and Thorpe for Hader might be reasonable. I would not trade anything more than that.

Rogers in the 9th? It's going to be tough.

This kid is going to a future closer for the Indians.

Cave just can't buy a hit these days. He should be released. Gonzalez should quit looking at strikes in the middle of the plate!

Rogers should not be a closer right now. Let Duffey/Clippard/Alcala close.

Vargas just can't hit, let him go, it's a waste of roster spot.

When Pineda comes back, Smeltzer should be gone.

Buxton has not proven he can stay healthy in any season. Merrifield has. Buxton is younger, he MAY be approaching his prime. Unfortunately that's an assumption for now. Merrifield has 6 steals this season, what about our super fast Buxton? Merrifield is an ideal leadoff man, Buxton is batting 9th. Enough said.

Let Romo or Duffey close for now. Rogers, May, Clippard and Stashak can help set up. Alcala and Smeltzer can be the long relievers. Alcala can certainly pitch in close games. Wisler, Thielbar and Gearrin can be useful.

Anderson's first pitch is either changeup or knuckle curve, it's low in the strike zone. Sometimes it's near the middle of the strike zone.

Anderson really likes to throw his knuckle curve for first pitch strike, doesn't he? Every Twins player takes the called first strike.
