Twins @ Tigers: June 9-11

Buxton and McGonigle have both left runners in scoring position twice tonight with two outs.

Good news… Twins went to their bullpen.

Bad news… Tigers did as well.

We have the best pitcher in baseball and the best catcher in baseball.

I’m actually happy that Kody Clemens got some success…that guy spent a lot of time in the minors and growing up as the son of Rocket and not being a pitcher and not being very damn good for a long time had to completely suck.

I mean he’s not Bronny,….

Also right on cue every season Taj Bradley all of a sudden remembers that he’s Taj Bradley

Also see Quintana, Jose and Walker, Taijuan.

Apparently being demoted back to AAA hasn’t had much effect of Tater Workman. Hitting .366 with an OPS of 1.050 while with Toledo.

Jesus, I thought for sure they jinxed us by talking about grand slams from the booth while the bases are loaded. Thank God is was just short.

Keith is starting to struggle a little bit of late. Gotta believe him not playing every day has something to do with it.

Finnegan - needs a few base runners to get comfortable.

The Tigers are playing good baseball all of a sudden. Add a big bat, move Montero and Melton to the bullpen to help shore that up, and we might be able to climb back into this thing. Especially since the entire AL Central sucks ass.

Id use a 5-man rotation. keep those arms fresh

add madden/montaro to the pen?

Lol you posted 6 names. Thats not a 5 man rotation.

Its not a terrible idea to go with a 6 man rotation but when your bully sucks as bad as ours I feel like you can use that extra arm to better the bullpen in a major way. Melton especially has the type of stuff that would be amazing in high leverage, late inning situations.

Maybe AJ would consider a piggyback on the 5th pitcher? I’ll call him.

I wouldn’t be upset if they kept Melton in the rotation and moved Flaherty to the bully. Jack has been very good early in his starts. Especially getting the strikeouts. He might be ideal to come in and get you a couple of big K’s to get out of a jam. Its his 3rd time through a lineup that us killing him so maybe a big role, in a high leverage bully situation would be the way to go.
