I would take a quarter-ass at this point.Well. With a half-ass decent bullpen, the Twins might be fighting for the division lead right now. But with these injuries piling up, it may not even matter.

A bullpen that can get outs would help.No surprise that the twins are 0-7 in extra innings. With the new rules teams that are terrible at situational offensive baseball are going to be at a huge disadvantage. Or at least teams that have a prayer at hitting the occasional single are going to be better off.
This tweet made me think.I'm beginning to wonder if this group will get it turned around.

Anyone else follow the game today?
Need to move on from Sano. Give money to Buxton and Berrios. Let Kepler walk. Trade Simmons. Trade Donaldson. platoon it for a season.Only a month into the season talking heads are already evaluating the Twins' most likely midseason trades. Maeda, Pineda, Cruz.
At first I thought these articles were a little premature, but when three run leads continue to mean nothing, these guys might be right. Sadly.
Agreed. It’s so sad I can’t get excited about this.This is the most discouraged as a Twins fan I have been since Molitor's last season as manager. Utterly terrible, and no real indication that things will improve. Sucks when baseball season feels like it's "over" before we even get to summer. Really seems like the roster should be competing for the division on paper, but the bullpen is atrocious and like someone else alluded to in here, the team can't figure out how to do simple things like situational hit or simply try to advance runners. It's always been about trying to blow the cover off the ball with this team. It seems like every plate appearance regardless of the player, save for maybe Arraez and Astudillo, you can expect either a strikeout or solo HR. Boring baseball. Complete 180 from what they were a decade and a half ago when they were the hit-for-contact and play tough defense piranhas!
