4 games back. If they're gonna do it, they gotta do it now. And also pass the White Sox. And maybe if the AL East beats up on themselves they could somehow eek out a wild card spot and then lose right away?
I'm skeptical anything good will happen. But it's been a fun enough season, they took a step forward even with devastating injuries, I'm excited about several of their young players, and they're playing meaningful ball in September. I know that's a trite cliche, but I think it works for this team.
I'm too Minnesota to be truly optimistic, so maybe I'll just settle for "it's not winter yet."
That's pretty much where I am. It's still frustrating that the Twins lost so many games they could've won. But in the WGOM pre-season poll, I picked them to finish below .500. They still might, of course, but if you'd told me that with twenty games to go, we'd still have a shot at the division title--even a not-very-good shot--I'd have taken that. It has been a fun season, despite everything. I'm skeptical, too, but it is baseball, so who knows?
After reading one of the MLB blurbs today, one of the side goals I have is for Luis to put a definitive stop to any more Judge triple crown talk.
Judge is ten points behind and would have to jump three guys. It's not impossible, but it's pretty unlikely.
Arraez has enough PAs to qualify even if he doesn't play another game. That means Judge will need to get his .310 up to about .320 to win. I estimate he'll finish at around 575 ABs so he'll need 184 hits to finish at .320 exactly. That's 25 more hits in 19 more games. Possible but quite the hot streak.
Miranda's having at AB, 11 pitches so far.
And a double on the 12th. Nice.
Dang, so close
heckuva an at bat by Miranda! MIRANDA!
dang just a double
Olivaesque AB by the Miranda! And a two-bagger!
I've seen McKenzie pitch a few times now, he's good. At least we made him throw a lot of pitches that inning.
24 pitch first inning, 6 pitch second inning. SMH.
on the board!
hard to remember how bad he was at the beginning of the year
It really is
JAKECAVE!!!!
CAVEMAN!
The unfrozen caveman left-fielder.
Cave!
Isn't there a double header tomorrow? I know he's just getting back, but that's an early pull for Ober.
Rocco said he didn't have any pitch count or inning limit for Ober, but it sure looks like he did.
dammit
TWINS FREAKING BASEBALL!!!!!
Zoinks, Scoob!
180ft wild pitch. Those words frighten and confuse me.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Myles Straw did a jungle hack with his bat after the called strike, and got thrown out. Glad he didn't have a machete.
definitely not reading the replies
