Four wins in a row, six loses in a row, back to four wins in a row. Talk about a roller coaster. Twins up against the reeling Red Sox and looking to keep that roller coaster on the upward. Hopefully the plunge isn't against the upcoming series against the Whities.
Red Sox have been bad this year, which given their resources, really speaks to the disorganization in the dugout and front office. I'm not even sure what the plan is with that team. Pitching for the Red Sox is Kutter Crawford who frankly would struggle to even make it on the Twins starting rotation. Chris Archer for the Twins and he's alternated between 4 and 5 innings his last few outings. So he's on tap for a 5 inning stint tonight.
Looks like glorious weather for a game with a first pitch slated at 6:40p.
Twins Lineup
Kutter Crawford is totally a computer generated name when you are on the 10th season playing on franchise mode.
Nice hitting by Gordon!
Way to make those walks haunt

JAKECAVE!
no hitter alertNot messin' with Jake again, no sirree
*shakes head* third time through the lineup
Do you think if the Twins had a 10 game lead in the division or had zero chance of making the playoffs they would let some of these pitcher to maybe work themselves out of a jam once the 5th inning hits?
I wouldn't. I'd be starting someone else and Archer long relief.
I'm totally with you there.
PIGGYBACK!
😐
NICK [redacted] GORDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang, that was nice!
Walks haunt.

Gary Sanchez just hit that ball to North Dakota!
GSHR
Ooh, I spookied Sanchez! I haven't done that in a long time. Feels good.
Be nice if the middle relief could just get the job done and not make it a ballgame
oh man, Pagan is going to come into this game
THIS GAME IS NOT PAGAN-PROOF
A stat that may only interest me: The Twins have used 23 position players this season. All 23 have crossed home plate at least once (Beckham , Hamilton, and Sano with 1 run scored).
That feels like an EW question: the most players on a team where everyone has scored at least once that season.
Entertainment Weekly?
NOOOO, STILL NOT PAGAN-PROOF
You were saying?
STILL not Pagan-proof
Fair point.
