Game 41. Blue Jays at Twins. 7:10pm.

46 Comments

If the Twins can score some runs, there is a reasonable chance that they can get win #11. Tyler "The Duffman" Duffy is on the mound.

Rex Robbie Grossman gets his Twins debut tonight.  Baseball-Reference says he has played in 190 games in 3 season with the Astros but to be honest, I have never heard of this guy.

  1. I first noticed Grossman in the Arizona Fall League in 2011. He looked like a pretty good prospect through 2014. He didn't do much in 2015, though, and he hasn't done a lot this year. Both the Astros and the Indians gave up on him, which isn't a particularly good sign. I'm hoping he can get it going again, but to be honest, it kind of reminds me of 2012, when we kept seeing guys like Clete Thomas and Erik Komatsu brought in to "help" the outfield situation.

    1. I like to pride myself on knowing the more obscure Twins players, but totally forgot about Erik Komatsu.

      1. In the post-game, Dazzle made the comparison to Clete Thomas, too. The funny thing is, he seemed to think it was a compliment.

  2. It's kind of amazing how, for Dazzle, stolen base attempts and bunt attempts are always "good, aggressive plays" no matter how often they fail.

  3. The Twins are winning one game in four. They've lost four in a row. That means they're overdue for a win, right?

      1. I really am trying. I mean, it's no fun to be down on the team all the time. I sure wish they'd help me out a little, though.

        1. Just off the phone with my ma. She's so despondent, almost inconsolable, but she's on the train of blowing up the management, selling off the parts, and letting the young guys learn on the job. I'm in that boat.

          1. I don't know that we necessarily have to have a fire sale, but I'm on board with blowing up management and letting the kids play.

            1. Knowing the clowns in charge, it'll end up like this:

  4. Double plays are cool. At least they are when the other team hits into them.

  6. Whenever I hear the guy on the Ford commercial mispronounce "bratwurst", I think "You're not from around here, are you?"

        1. The only ime I pronounce it like that is when I am joking about Wisconsin.

  9. I respect the way the pitching staff keeps everyone on their toes by alternating between giving away a lead as soon as the offense actually scores and holding a lead until the late innings before imploding.

  16. I'm hoping someone at Twins Daily takes an in-depth look at May's struggles. I disagreed with the decision to move him to the pen but was encouraged by how effective he was earlier in the year. They leaned on him heavily, wonder if he's dealing with a different kind of fatigue than he's experienced before.

  17. The terrible Cleveland team in the movie Major League was 15-24 at one point.

  21. This is good twitter
