The Twins have 7 games left, and need to go 4-3 to avoid 90 losses.
Miguel Sano needs one more HR to get to 30.
Max Kepler needs one more HR to get to 20.
Luis Arraez and Josh Donaldson are currently tied for highest OBP (.351) among 2021 Twins Not Named Nelson Cruz That Have At Least 250 PA. Others that are contending for this crown...
Bailey Ober - .500 OBP (not enough PA)
Nelson Cruz - .370 OBP (named Nelson Cruz)
Mitch Garver - .358 OBP (not enough PA)
Byron Buxton - .341 OBP (not enough PA)
Jorge Polanco - .325 OBP (too many April PA)
If Griffin Jax allows a HR today, he will pass J.A. Happ for most allowed by a Twins pitcher this year.
If Griffin Jax allows 19 runs today, he will pass J.A. Happ for most allowed by a Twins pitcher this year.
If Griffin Jax throws a complete game shutout today, he would tie for the team lead in complete games (1 - Jose Berrios) and take the team lead in shutouts.
If Alex Colomé throws 3.1 IP with no earned runs, he will have a lower ERA than Pineda. If that happens, only José Berríos will have thrown more innings for the Twins this year with a lower ERA than Colomé.
Somebody here mentioned Jorge Alcalá's last month has been really good. In the last 30 days, opponents are hitting .190/.227/.238 off him and he's allowed one run in 11 appearances (ERA of 0.73 and FIP of 1.54). He can get his season WHIP under 1.00 with 1.2 innings with no baserunners. The Twins have four pitchers currently under 1.00 WHIP this season.
Hey gang! Well, we tried to record this in full, but schedules are complicating things (nibbish got a new puppy or something I don't know). Anyway, DK, DG, and I were able to get in some quick Wild talk as Kaprizov is now safely a member of the Wild for the next few years. We also look at other signings, the draft, and the year ahead. We go to break at the end of the episode, which hopefully means we'll pick it up again sometime soon. Enjoy!

Gus Schmelz managed several teams in the late 19th century. He is one of the few who became a manager without having played professionally.
Bob Coleman managed in the minor leagues for thirty-five years. He had the most wins as a minor league manager when he retired, 2,496, a mark since passed by Stan Wasiak.
Former Knicks player Mel McGaha was the manager of the Kansas City Athletics from 1964-1965.
The "spoilers of people we don't totally want to spoil" tour continues!
Tonight, Gant faces off against Cy Young contender Robbie Ray. That doesn't seem to be a good matchup for the home team, but that really hasn't mattered so far against the Jays, much to everyone but New York's chagrin.
