You could argue that every starter should be playing in AAA St Paul. This team lacks everything except suckitude.

I check the score, but that's it. Just a bad team propped up by a terrible division. I'm tired of hearing how Buxton can't play CF, how Rocco believes they just need to focus better and every other excuse for why they whiff at a record setting pace. Pissing away the first above average pitching staff they've had in years.

The pitching staff came out the gates with a top three ERA. Even they can’t carry the team now as Gray and Ryan have seemed to hit a wall. And Lopez to the IL because of mental issues while Arraez is hitting close to .400.
The Twins may hold off Cleveland and Chicago for the Central, but that’s about it.

I still think think the Lopez/Arraez trade will end up as a win, but no doubt it's hard to watch him from a distance.

Bro, the saints have the second best record in the minors. Literally everyone we keep bringing up absolutely shoves in AAA. They just can't cut it with the big boys.

It was Jorge Lopez (the reliever) that went to the IL. Pablo Lopez was the starter they traded for in the Arraez trade. Still don't love the trade, but different Lopez's

Was at last night's game... WTF were the umps in New York thinking on that 10th inning call? That was absolutely horrible. Thankfully it did not alter the final score.

Twins sign Dallas Keuchel to minor league deal. Hopefully he can be the lefty they need in bullpen so badly. Maybe the Twins can hit on one of these pitching reclamation projects just once.

I’m taking my 9 year old up to see the Twins play this Thursday against the Red Sox. I sure hope that game goes better than the last couple of days against the Red Sox, because they have been brutal.
Thankfully the game turned out to be a great one to watch! Joe Ryan was dominant with a complete game, 3-hit shutout. Buxton crushed two homers. Had a blast.

Blew a call at first. Weird play but the Boston guy didn’t touch first or tag him. It was pretty obvious.
Nobody in the stadium could believe that the office in NY upheld that call. It was atrocious.

You got see a good one.
Shocked that Rocco allowed Ryan to throw a complete game. And Buxton’s two 460+ft homers is a StatCast record.

Another 13 strikeouts for the Twins. Awesome.
