The Cubs just designated Chris Gimenez for assignment after 32 at bat. The Twins still let Bobby Wilson to start a game every other game. How many at bats is Bobby Wilson going to get this season with the Twins? That's why this team is losing. No one seems to care including the management. Morrison, Motter and Wilson all should have been DFAd in anywhere else.

Morrison has been worse. Vargas is still relatively young. I believe Vargas can at least hit over .200 in the major league.

You have to give the credit when it's due. The Brewers has a monster bullpen. It's the best in the major league. Today's starter is its best starter with an ERA of 2.87. Hader is going to the All Star game this year. Their closer is a shutdown closer. Was their closer an All Star last year? I believe the Twins will see Jeffress tomorrow if it's a close game. Another dominant reliever who is going to the All Star game this year.

The Brewers have more than one. At least 2 maybe 3 dominant relievers. Jeffress has a better ERA than Hader. Well the Brewers have 5 relievers having better ERA than its closer. The closer's ERA is 3.05 and he struck out the side in the 9th today. This is a monster bullpen.

It's just my opinion. Unless it's a closer who might pitch in consecutive days, if a reliever can't go more than 1 inning preferably 2 innings, he probably does not belong in the major league.

You never win a game by looking at pitches. I would like to see the hitters go down swinging. At least they have tried.

Seeing how Craig Counsell handles his pitcher, I really want our MOY gone ASAP. Counsell had so much trust in his reliever so that he let him go 3 innings even though he had at least two more dominant relievers in the bullpen. As soon as the pitcher walked a batter, pitching coach came out immediately. By letting one dominant pitcher pitch 3 innings, Counsell saved another dominant pitcher for tomorrow perhaps for multiple innings as well. That's how a shutdown bullpen works.

Rodney should be a set up guy period. He has better stuff than Reed. He is just not a real closer anymore. He should not be trusted to close when there is only a one-run lead.

I really hope this is the last time we need to worry about him since he should be traded soon. Thank God for no more Rodney experience.

I don't know, Littel just looks fragile. I am not sure if he can survive in the big league.

He should feel fortunate because there are players who never get a chance and he already got two. Now if he can keep his ERA within single digit in the major league, he might have a chance to stay since he is one of the FO's favorite to get called up.

Rosario at least showed signs of brilliance from time to time. I have seen nothing from Littel. He seems fragile. Rosario is also a lefty. They shouldn't let him go. I think the FO traded for Littel and signed Morrison, Wilson and Motter. That's why they got so many chances over others although they have been performing miserably.

Too bad Littel couldn't even get more than 1 out.

They somehow provided some value to this team. Littel has no value right now. He simply does not belong in the big league. Belisle is way better than Littel.

Littel had an ERA of 5.87 at AA. I don't know why they promoted him. He somehow managed an ERA of 3.00 at AAA.

1 Thank God.

So if he's brought into the game as a reliever he can't perform because he is a starter. Is that what you are saying? He has to be a starter in order to succeed? I didn't see any success last time he pitched as a starter in the major league. Littel pitched two games and got two losses. He cost the Twins two losses with his awesome performance.

Well let's look at it this way. Belisle can be a mop up guy. Littel can't even get anybody out. Littel's ERA: 18.90 Belisle's ERA: 6.87 Belisle has no future value. Littel might have no future in the big league.

You know what? I would rather see him stay in the minor for the rest of his career.

This guy Littel might be buried in the minor for now.

I really don't see any future for Littel in the major league. This guy simply can't get any major leaguer out.

Hottest hitters of the game for the Twins are both gone. I think it's going to be another one run loss.

Molitor is really special. He actually thinks Wilson can hit and doesn't need a pinch hitter. How many managers would let someone who's hitting .125 hit for himself in the last inning when the game is so close?

Unless they are getting a major league ready starting pitcher back, they should not trade Gibson, they should extend him instead. They need at least two good starting pitchers (Berrios and Gibson) in the rotation next year.

I am not sure if Dozier can keep his OPS over 700 for the rest of the season.
