Well that was a fun, big boy win last night, Odorizzi looking like his spring 2019 self, Mays hitting 100 on the radar gun to finish 2 solid innings, Jake Cave botching a simple grounder in the outfield, Sano’s pitch hit blast... Here’s a little Freealonzo Fun Fact: Last time the Twins beat Atlanta with a walk off homerun in Minneapolis, these same two teams played the next day and the Twins, with their ace on the mound, won in extras. Can history repeat itself?!?
Atlanta has Mike Foltynewicz on the mound who's back to the bigs after pitching about as well as I can pronounce his name earlier in the season. A 6.37 ERA, more hits than innings pitched, and a 2-5 record on a first place team. Also the dude gives up nearly 2.5 bombas per 9 innings so sorry 1964 Twins home run record, looks like your place in history could be gone by 10:30p tonight.
Berrios on the mound for the Twins and a team that looks like it’s locked in right now. Should be a glorious night for baseball. 7:10p first pitch. Enjoy.

Messin' with our HR differential
Gordo'd
Alright, I'm gonna try something bold: Cron will hit a hr on the fourth pitch when he leads off the next inning.
A little too bold.
Right pitch, wrong true outcome
I picked a bad night for my first legends club experience. Tell me Berrios isn’t injured. Please.
Its getting to the point that I assume a ball hit to third is going to turn into an error one way or the other.
At the stadium you could tell Inciarte was going to be out about 3 seconds before it happened. Fun!
(Also dumb running play. Dumb)
Wow, I should have been predicting a sombrero instead of a HR - Mitch is on his way
Even with three walks, Berríos is efficient. 59 pitches through four compared to Foltynewicz at 72.
The inevitable comeback will be sweet....
Ass-bats AND Berrios getting shelled? Let's get it all out of your system, guys.
Why did it take Rocco so long to get Berrios out of there?
He had a quicker hook in Miami for some reason
Whelp. I made the right call. Too bad none of you jerks have come through
Ditto
Got our run differential back...
Buddy Boshers takes the loss for Toronto tonight.
What interesting times we live in...
Swizzlestick!
CRUZSARIO!
New points leader!
Is there a place where we can see the standings? Haven't seem them for a while.
Under the "HELP AND FAQ" section on the toolbar, there's a link to the challenge rules. On the top of that page there's a link to the standings. They look pretty good today.
Those standings seem a bit off. I believe meat should still have a pretty healthy lead — roughly 955 points or so.
remember, his points are so big they don't fit on the spreadsheet
Don’t worry, I won’t let you guys forget.
I just noticed that this says "Barves at Twins". If "barves" is the plural of barf, that's a pretty good description of the last two games.
