Every game was decided by one run. I don't remember that ever happening before. Phil Hughes continues his comeback. A walkoff hit batsman carries the Lookouts as Felix Jorge pitches well. A big day for Brent Rooker leads the E-Twins to victory. A fine game for Jesus Toledo for the DSL Twins.

Game 72: twins @ cleveland
Previously, on Twins Baseball...
Chief Balfour: You're a loose cannon, Molitor! You can't put Mejia on the case. He's inconsistent as a damn one eyed owl!
Molitor: He's inconsistent, like a fox. I like the kid. I believe in him.
Minor Details: Games of June 23
Lots of debuts due to promotions. John Curtiss made his AAA debut and didn't miss a beat. Stephen Gonsalves has not been promoted yet, but probably should be. Jaylin Davis, Jermaine Palacios, Mitchell Kranson, and Brandon Lopez all made their debuts at Fort Myers. Amaurys Minier, Lean Marrero, and Joe Cronin all made their debuts at Cedar Rapids. Big days for Kolton Kendrick and Matt Albanese lead the E-Twins on their season debut. A rare loss for the DSL Twins.

June 24, 2017: Road Sweet Road
Since this is bizarro Twins season so far, I'm (half-heartedly) predicting a sweep.

He played college ball at North Carolina State, played minor league ball for nine seasons in the Carolinas, managed in Carolina minor leagues for six seasons, umpired in the Carolina League for two seasons, was in minor league front offices in the Carolinas from 1956-1971, and was president of the Carolina League for seven years.
Born in Hawaii, Wally Yonamine was a star in Japan from 1951-1962, stealing home eleven times.
Game 71 – Twins at Cleveland
Here we are again, another big series against the Clevelanders. Lets hope for a better result than last weekend.
Meija goes for the Twins. He was ok his last start, but it was cut short because of rain. Trevor Bauer for the C's. He was pretty good against the Twins on Sunday.
The Twins beat writers all tweet that Miguel Sano has a sinus infection and can come off the bench if needed.
The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt. 1 (nsfw-ish)
I like singing this to The Little One. I also think it could be made into a pretty cool kids book too.
N.B. - Wayne does drop an f-bomb during some banter with the crowd about half way through

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - "Cumberland Gap"
Kendrick Lamar - DAMN. (Like all of it)
