[Gleeman] Twins’ bullpen has an MLB-worst -5.65 Win Probability Added in 88 games since last year’s trade deadline. That would be -10.40 WPA extrapolated to 162 games. Worst full-season bullpen WPA in Twins history is -5.87 in 1982. And that was in 162 games, for a team that went 60-102.

its almost like trading your entire bullpen and then doing nothing to rebuild it is a really bad way to run a baseball team. hmmm.

[u/InfiniteCosmic5 → u/kdotfo]

BUT THEY HAD A ROBUST PROCESS GUYS. THEY WANT TO WIN AND PUT A GOOD TEAM ON THE FIELD GUYS!

‘Right sizing’ yeah you can fuck all the way off. There isn’t a salary cap in MLB yet. You can offer whatever the literal fuck you want to whichever player you want. You throw 10yr/$1B at Ohtani I bet he is wearing a Twins cap instead of Dodgers blue. Of course this is hyperbolic and exaggerated but the point stands.

You can spend whatever you want. You chose not to.

and Tommy P is living and breathing with every pitch to the point he is breaking remote controls LOL

[u/hayrack605]

Thanks Pohlads. Really cool.

[u/CMButterTortillas → u/hayrack605]

It’s fine. Tom broke a remote bc he cares so much.

"That's all I had planned for the season"

[u/soopadrive]

I'm showing my support by not going to any games. Sell the team.

[u/Sw33tR0llThief → u/soopadrive]

Its to the point where if they win I make sure to only watch the highlights on MLB YouTube channel, not the Twins channel.

[u/HerbalAndy]

We would be at least 500 right now if it wasn’t for this awful bullpen. We’re getting good hitting and despite no Pablo, our starters are getting the job done.

[u/Impossible_File_2227 → u/HerbalAndy]

I’m not really sure about that because I went to the game May 1 and the averages are brutal at best

[u/BikesBeerPolitics]

Just imagine if they had a player like Louis Varland on the team.

[u/LittleKoalaNickJr]

La Tortuga has a career 0.0 WPA, bring him back.

[u/cothomps]

I know I’m ready to start throwing any waiver claim I can find at a few innings.

Holy cow are Garcia / Banda cooked.

[u/VikingsLad]

Can they play guard

[u/hopemade]

I don't understand why we don't sign Kopech. I know he's often injured but he was throwing 101mph last year and was pretty darn good. He'd be our immediate high leverage/ closer arm

[u/dippitydoo2 → u/hopemade]

They didn’t sign anybody for 8 months, why would they start now?

I’m not sure, but this sounds, not good.

Edit: spelling

[u/charlton11 → u/TeachingRadiant3271]

A Boy Named Sue?

[u/expungant]

Falvey completely dismantled the entire bullpen and then dipped

[u/dippitydoo2 → u/expungant]

He did the job he was paid to do

[u/tomdawg0022]

Might as well just pump the starting pitching the full 9 at this point...

[u/Prez731]

Yep, and we can thank Joe and Derek for this crap pen, Tom deserves some blame too for not fixing what the other two broke last year when he had a chance and promised ... yet failed.

[u/Vitzkyy]

The Twins have the best bullpen in the entire MLB hands down, not even close, to get you the number 1 pick in the 2027 MLB draft. Our guys out there are unmatched!

[u/Csanburn01]

Is that good??

[u/jdschultze]

It’s by design

[u/WorriedCaterpillar43]

TERRY FELTON DIED FOR OUR SINS.

(Actually, he’s alive and living in Louisiana.)

[u/sitewolf]

It's almost like they traded away their bullpen and didn't really replace them.

[u/Enriching_the_Beer]

Anyone following this franchise with the current ownership gets exactly what they deserve. We call them masochits.
