2019 Minnesota Twins

[fknhippie]

Nice job Twins.

Can't believe this team has out slugged all but one team in baseball history over their first 50 games.

Twins pound three more home runs in beating White Sox

We beaned a guy in the foot with two strikes again?!?!

And then an awful challenge to boot.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

8 runs and it was a relatively poor day offensively lol

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Odo pulled after 1 out in the 6th with 93 pitches??

1. Stop babying them Rocco

2. 93 pitches in 16 outs with only two base runners is pretty annoying. But it’s kinda who Odo is.

I know it’s a long season. But fucking let the guy finish an inning.

 

[Hauvea]

.....and DO NOT trust May to get the job done. He has been around long enough to know that when you really need the game closed out, he has trouble doing it.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Lol poor offensive game again. And still ended up with 7 runs

He was sick today.

He was sick today.

Not really sure why he started the inning then.

Jose was pulled Friday night with 2 outs none on a 98 pitches.

Gotta trust our guys at some point.

Verlander ain’t coming out in October

One other thing that’s strange

Gonzalez batting 3rd lately. Not really sure why.


Basically no matter what the lineup is he’s like our 7th or 8th best hitter.

3 hitter should be one of your better hitters. Not a guy with a massive leg kick who swings at 4 out of 5 breaking balls in the dirt.

Maybe it’s just to keep guys like Rosario/Cron/Schoop etc.. in their usual spots

I'm guessing it's the last one, because it's a pick your poison lineup, anyway.

10 games up by Memorial Day. We're already bordering on the territory that it would take an epic collapse for us not to win the division...but we do live in Minnesota and we've seen this movie countless times with our sports teams before.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm already a bit worried about that not playing a meaningful game the last month or so of the season then not being sharp come playoff time.

 

[Nosferatu]

If we play .500 ball the rest of the season we still end up with 91 wins.

That could be the issue.

A lot of season left and we will have a rough spot eventually. But there is a great chance we have this shit wrapped up as easily as 2010.

Indians might start a fire sale even.

That’s why it would actually be nice if we started winning some walk offs/late comeback games

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

It's possible they may not play tonight...

 

[mr.hockey4242]

I’m going highly likely no game tonight

Wondering what they do.

DH tomorrow?

Utilize the off day Wednesday? But there’s rain expected then too.

Humorous

Twins' turnaround started with the turtle who thought he was a hare

That is pretty good.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

That is pretty good.

Byrnes and Girardi on MLB network both saying Twins need to go after the big fish.

Girardi even thinks 2 bullpen arms.

But both think we are insane to not make a Kimbrel and Keuchel push.
