Reply #30: Their pitching has let them down as of late.

And Ron Gardenhire (although I think he's one of the best managers in the league) screwed up quite a few times.

He has such a mind for the offensive game but he simply can NOT figure out how to substitute pitchers and manage his pitching staff. Joe Nathan can NOT be put into a game unless it's a pressure, SAVE situation, period. Terry Mulholland should ONLY pitch when the Twins are already down by 4 runs or more, period. If Juan Rincon walks the first batter he faces, replace him with J.C. BLowmero. I've figured these things out and I'm just a spectator.

Don't fret though. They'll regroup tonight against the Padres, and I smell a Chicago Collapse coming on.
