A quick thought about Friday’s game: It was great to see Guerrier, Nathan and Crain bounce back and handle the Tigers for a second straight game. But it’s also clear that, in order to make it through the season, Gardy needs another reliable and hard-throwing arm in the bullpen to complement those three and the situational lefties — Breslow and Reyes. Boof’n'Bass aren’t going to be those guys. The Twins need to replace one while the other does long relief and mop-up. I assume Gardy thinks he can manage his way through the personnel decisions in the outfield and on the left side of the infield.

But there are only so many quality pitches in each of the bullpen arms.

Enjoy the weekend.
