In his defense, I don't think he was meant to be one.

We just have this weird thing with Rogers where he's a fireman rather than a closer and they're not afraid to burn him in the 7th or 8th if we need to get out of a jam.

Right, I'm not mad at Parker...he just goes in when Rocco tells him to. Just doesn't have closers stuff. No crime in that, but it WILL be a crime if Rocco keeps putting him out there to close.

Parker was a good closer for the Angels last year. I don't think the Twins have any better options on the team

Indians and Tigers have lost 3 straight each. Twins have won 3 straight.

Back up 1.5 games. LEGGO

Hildenberger is looking a lot better than I ever thought.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

If they can fix the pen by June/July, They'll win the division.

It's so nice seeing Buxton having success right now at the plate. Just wish he'd stop slamming into the wall...haha

Their rotation isn't strong enough either. They need 1 to 2 more quality SPs. I don't care if they have to trade for one or overpay Kuechel. Get it done, or you're squandering this lineup. Gibson, Odorizzi, and Perez are garbage.

they should be within shouting distance of a playoff appearance thru the summer as is. i'm sure that if they are-they'll be buyers at the trade deadline.

The lineup will go on a cold streak at some point. They will have to win a string of 2-1 games. I don't have faith in the rotation we have to get that done. Bring a quality SP or two, and I'll feel a lot better about our playoff chances.
