I won't be around much, but here's a game log for anyone who is.

What's up with Berrios these last two starts? He hasn't gotten hammered, exactly, but it seems like he's giving up something just about every inning.
Don't constantly whine about short starts and an overtaxed bullpen and then pull your starter after three innings and sixty pitches. Berrios wasn't pitching great, but there's no compelling reason to pull him now. Now the Twins will use four or five relievers in a game they don't have much chance of winning anyway.*
*This assumes Berrios was not pulled due to a physical probleml
Maybe they could field better and turn a double play first.
Happy Berrios Magill Day
Berríos runs by start: 0, 5, 0, 0, 5, 4.
All or nothing, baby!
Gibson Disease. I hope he recovers a lot faster than Gibson did.
You know, for how much I've been disliking the wolves, I was really hoping for a better year from the twins.
I know it's a long season. I know it's still April. I know every team goes through bad stretches. I know we don't have Santana or Buxton or Polanco. Having said all that, I can't avoid the feeling that this is shaping up to be another "total system failure" year, and I really don't want to go through another one.
This is still the same team that won a series from the Astros. Until these last 10 games, they hadn't lost a series. If the Twins lost their next 11 games, they still would be tied with the same record as the '16 Twins through 35 games.
Don't give them any ideas.
I think it should also be noted that the Rays hadn't lost after playing the Twins until today against the Red Sox and the Yankees are going for the sweep of the Angels.
Should we should expect the Reds to do well now too?
