It's the August of our discontent in Twins Territory. The team itself is playing lousy, not fun baseball, Emilio Pagan is still on the team, Buxton either seems to hit an epic HR or feebly strikes out. Twins have fallen 2 games back from the hardly trying Guardians and tied with the underperforming White Sox (also how did both teams end up having played two more games than the Twins?) Here at the WGOM, most game logs seem the have a "in progress" tag if they show up at all.
Hopefully nothing better to fix that than an even more lackluster Royals team. After yesterday's win, hopefully the Twins have the wind in their sails. Zach Grienke for the Royals in probably his last season. Sonny Gray up for the Twins and he's been hands down the best pitcher for the Twins this year.
Another 6:40p start on what should be a nice night. Here' hoping the Twins can build on yesterday's win and start to play some fun, winning baseball.

Zach Grienke is a player I have always appreciated and I wish he would have landed on the Twins
When he was the man.
Is it a big strike zone tonight? We've already had at least three strikeouts on called third strikes.
Now it's at least four.
Now it's at least five.
Grienke been dropping beautiful 12-6 curveballs right in the strike zone
with his last hit, Luis Arraez has reached 400 career basehits
401 now
SAFETY SQUEEZE
I didn't know Rocco was aware that play was legal.
Didn't Leon successfully do that last week, too?
I was on vacation last week, so it doesn't count.
If next year's schedule, with fewer divisional games, was in effect this year, it's quite possible that no team in the AL Central would be above .500.
GILBERTO!
Gray with 10 strikeouts!
helluva job Theilbar!
Scorekeeper giving Arraez a very generous hit
Gameday shows error
They must have changed it. Bremer was pretty perplexed it was ruled a hit.
Well that box score seems like it reads The WGOM.
