Good game
The lads seem a bit crisper tonight than last night.

Justin go Boom!
Twins lead 4-1. Where is everybody?

Ug and good
Hmm, Baker is really going good. More solo dingers, but only 73 pitches so far through 6.
Kubel looks rough tonight though…

Bottom of the 8th
I wish we had Rincon from four years ago instead of Jesse Crain from tonight. But hey he can’t be worse than Neshek and Guerreir from last night. Right guys? ... Guys?

The Tigers have tied the game
Lets hope Crain’s just poaching another W, true to form.

That’s a representation of me vomiting because of Jesse Crain’s performance…

Bullpen=weakness
The next time someone says this is the best bullpen in the game, I’m laughing. When was the last time the Twins gave up leads in the eighth in two consecutive games?

Man, so sad
The bullpen was such a source of Minnesota pride.

Delmon Young on 3rd Base; Kubel grounds out to Jones
Come on Craigsy…

Joke right?
He fouled off six two-strike pitches. Give him a break.

Bullpen
You know, before I took my nap in the seventh, I was just think how we didn’t have any sure things in the pen. Nathan had thrown five innings coming in, and Neshek six, but nobdy else had thrown much. Guerrier was burned out for tonight, Bass just had a bunch of mop up, Rincon had only two, and Crain had tretired only eight batters since shoulder surgery. I didn’t know who to go with.
The good thing about the bullpen is with all the extra pitchers around, we should have plenty of candidates. Glen Perkins will ultimately be a reliever I think, and Humber seems like a decent candidate there as well. We can only start 5 guys, and they have the stuff to be short inning guys.

Yeah, plus like you said earlier
Baker had a good night. Tough to get swept like that but hey, you head home and you move on. Should be fun next week against the Rays and then Cleveland.

I can't take too many of these meltdowns
It’s hard on the stomach.

Eh
Eh, I try not to get too high or too low this early on, or at any point. He hasn’t pitched great, but there was some shoddy D behind him, etc. Saves aren’t a great stat to look at for this anyway. We’ll see what his line looks like near the end of May, then we cna think about getting worried.

I just hope Nathan gets a chance to save games
I don’t mind winning close games, but if the other guys in the pen screw up then all the money we paid Nathan will be a waste b/c he’ll never get in the game.
