    1. Not sure if that's worse than me not watching it at all. I was exhausted yesterday and needed to get to bed earlier than getting sucked into a game would have allowed.

  1. Twins only six home runs from tying the team record. It could happen as soon as this series but more likely against Cleveland. They'll have nearly 50 games to pad their total.

    1. In fear of stealing thunder from my upcoming game log, given who is slated on the mound for the Barves, I'd say the 1964 record is in mortal danger of going down tonight.

  2. Here is the list of player who hit 30 home run in a Twins uniform: Nelson Cruz, Terry Steinbach, Luis Rivas.
    Dave Winfield hit 31

  3. Statcast says Sano's game-winner last night traveled 443 feet with an exit velocity of 109.4 mph. When Sano came in to pinch hit I told my wife our best hope was for a hanging breaking ball and sure enough, boom.

    1. Makes me feel better to see that one of the prospects from the Mighty Mouse trade is well thought of:

      9. Jhoan Duran, RHP (Preseason #23)
      Age: 21
      ETA: 2021
      Highest Level: A+
      2019 stats (over 2 levels): 3-9, 3.04 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 98 SO, 32 BB, 83.0 IP
      Equipped with tremendous velocity in the upper 90’s, Duran has really turned it on as of late, striking out 60+ batters since the end of June. If he can figure out how to better handle left handed batters, he could become even better, but, for now, he still remains one of the best prospects within the Twins’ system with a ton of potential.

  4. We need Homer saying, "That's good. That's bad."

      1. I moved here in 1997. Those were the worst Twins teams to watch on my lifetime. At least they could hit in the late 70s and early 80s.
