Dick and Coomer need to stop trashing Dunn.

Have you heard how often he strikes out?


Here, let me tell you about it.....

[twinsnorth49]

Well this is turning out awesome!!

[sbknudson]

Have we time-warped back into 2011? What's happened to our bullpen the past couple of weeks?

[ChiTownTwinsFan]

Well gosh darn. Insert stronger words there and that's what I'm really saying

[SpiritofVodkaDave]

Willingham with his best Delmon "Wallp***y" routine on that one.

[snepp]

They gotta do this ****ing inning over again because they just ****ed it up.

I'm not really worried that guys like Fien and Robertson are struggling, both are pretty "meh" pitchers who never figured into any sort of long term plans anyways.

Color me concerned if Duensing, Perkins and Burton all start looking awful.

[SpiritofVodkaDave]

Yeah....Willingham prob needs to start DHing more, he is a freaking embarrassment out there.

Well Fien wasn't before this inning.

another tough no decision for Cole who has been impressive.

[USAFChief]

The soft underbelly of the Twins bullpen rears it's ugly head yet again.

Why was he done so early? Pitch count?

[snepp]

The legend of Jeff Gray grows a little more tonight.

[Badsmerf]

The soft underbelly of the Twins bullpen rears it's ugly head yet again.

Like a bloated pufferfish, they blow up and just kind of wave their fins around.

[striker_86]

brutal 7th inning. At least we have seen a couple good starts by the youngsters Deduno and DeVries

[twinsnorth49]

For all the moaning about the SP, we sure have blown a few decent starts as of late.

[TheLeviathan]

For all the moaning about the SP, we sure have blown a few decent starts as of late.

So you're saying we should be buyers?

[sbknudson]

Why was he done so early? Pitch count?

I was wondering about that myself. I was reading somewhere (KFAN website?) that the Twins are going to change their approach and try to get their starters to go deeper, average around 115-120 pitches per game, because of the overuse the bullpen has been getting.

So why pull DeVries at 95 pitches with a 2-run lead? He certainly couldn't have done any worse than the bullpen did.

[Ultima Ratio]

Gray happens

[USAFChief]

Gray happens

Well played.
