Last game log of the 2021 season and looking back at my logs, I've been pretty grumpy. In my defense this team has been a huge disappointment and very frustrating to follow. A team that everyone thought had World Series aspirations that ends up losing around 90 games will do that to a guy. Also, they just weren't a fun team to follow. Blowout losses, late inning blow ups, injuries to key players, bad strategy, team faves being traded, newcomers who not only didn't perform well, but were lousy and not fun. The fact that I couldn't even have them on as background due to Bally Sports North shenanigans just rubbed salt in the wound. Also, I never bought into the the "since their horrible April and May, the Twins have done ok." No they haven't. They were supposed to win over 90 games not hover around .500. Last place in the Central 20 games under .500 cannot be seen in any positive light.
Ugh, I got that off my chest. Tigers come into town and they've been a little better than predicted and could be building something in Detroit. Twins haven't announced a pitcher as of 5:00p. It should be a glorious night for baseball so the ballpark is still cool. Byron Buxton is a blast to watch. You might get to see Miggy one last time. There are good reasons to head to the ballpark if you'd like.
First pitch 6:40p
Got both LaTroy and Justin in the booth tonight
Watching the ballgame, but it looks more like an episode of What We Do in the Shadows and two episodes of Archer
SEND HIM!!!SEND HIM!!
Byron Buxton manufactured that run by his speed
Their monthly record agrees with you. One month above .500 and by a single game. They're at 11-13 for September/October so they could "finish strong" with another barely .500 month.
I was looking at some numbers and on July 4th the Twins were 14 games under .500. With Tuesday's win, they are 17 games under .500.
BOMBA
Sano's numbers since Nelson Cruz was traded has got to be off the charts
820 OPS in August, 812 so far in September. He was 829 in July. Trade was on the 22nd of July.
He had a 703 OPS before the trade, now 773.
Off the top of the charts, let's clarify, unlike earlier in the season
Caleb Thielbar should be the closer.
Good Lord I wish someone would put Colome out of my suffering
