Did anyone else see the Twins are considering using Hughes in the Pen?

It was a great night for the Wolves, but not very good for the Twins. I have only one regret...that the White Sox didn't sign me for one day to get in the box against Nik Turley and Gimenez. I know I could have taken both of them deep, and retired with one of the highest OPSs in the history of the game!

What was your favorite Nik Turley moment?

My favorite Turley moment is never watching a game he pitched in so I never saw one pitch of him lol

Anyone know why Sano isn't playing tonight?

Very mad at the ball club they put Metalokis on waivers today I hop to God he clears waivers.

Sano is under the weather. A couple other guys are sick as well but I don't think as bad.

I didn't realize they cut Metalokis loose. That is surprising.

Don't know if you guys are watching the game live but I could listen to LaTroy Hawkins talk about pitching all day.

Way to steal one from Kluber today. Hopefully we can get healthy Rosario and Kepler and banged up Sano is still sick but they have a chance for the sweep with there ace on the mound tomorrow lets go!!!!! Also Taylor Rogers is becoming my favorite reliever.

It was great to get this one and they were playing with guys that you don't want in spots for a whole game that matters this much. I'm only watching the condensed games but Gibson looks more determined and composed. He wasn't great today but he did enough to give them a chance.

I've thought Rodgers has a chance to be one of the solutions to the Pen long term instead of just he one of the guys that isn't the problem.

Good start Castro with 2 run double. We're gonna need runs today Ervin Slider doesn't look sharp today hopefully he can find it during the game.

The Twins are bizarre....we get swept at home by the Indians due to terrible pitching and then turnaround and sweep them on the road with great (or fortuitous perhaps?) pitching. Good for them, but damn, it would be nice if they could play better at home!
