The Twins are 5-5 in their last 10 games and 10-10 in their last 20. That pace is, of course, enough for them to pull away from the rest of the AL Central as no one else has more than 8 wins in their last 20 games. If they win today, this April will be one of only two 17+ win months we've seen from this team in the last 3+ seasons.
Feasting on the bottom of this division seems like a very solid and doable plan. So far, so good. Minnesota is 5-1 against the Royals, with the only loss coming because they didn't like nibbish's game log yesterday.
Hopefully this game log is more palatable. Sonny Gray goes against Brady Singer. One of these pitchers has an ERA that is 10 times larger than the other.
If Roy Smalley wasn’t on the ‘87 Twins, would he have a broadcasting gig with this team?
Not on your life.
Best of luck to the Twins' oxymoronicly-named starter today
the last time the Twins had a 16 win April was 2002. The last time a 17 win April happened was 2001 (18)
YDNRISPOSG!
BombaBunt SquadI'm just happy we have a couple guys who can actually bunt successfully after the past couple seasons of futility.
Agreed!
Dick-approved scoring.
Im surprised he still isnt going on about that squeeze play
Looking forward to the end of the Willi Castro era.
Free Kirilloff!
I'd like to call an ump violation while we're at it
YDNRISPOSG!2
3 BUX!
I made a noise like what Delmon must have made.
I'm pretty sure that's the longest HR I've seen in person
my gawd Byron Buxton! dont many balls get up to that part of the stadium
That homer was a laugher.
Two out rallies are like eating a large order of cheese curds without the guilt. Just one more…
Matheny would be bawling out Castro for stealing up six in the third.
The basement floor is done and I got my new desk put together. The end of the project is near. This two out rally is a nice dessert after doing construction things.
I must’ve missed earlier mentions of the desk. Are you making a standing workstation?
No, I just needed a bigger desk because the place I'm working at gave me three widescreen monitors, although I might be leaving there soon because its a crappy job.
I certainly endorse leaving crappy jobs. Good luck with the hunt.
C’mon Jorge, make the lead Pagán-proof.
fantastic
Ah yes, who can forget Mark Davidson’s 0.1 bWAR contribution to the ‘87 Twins?
Sonny goes 6 innings , gives up a run, and his ERA inflates
Jorge
earneddeserved two errors on that play. It’s just not his day.Sox leading the Ray's currently; let's see how they manage to lose...
Lol
Would you believe with fielding errors and home runs?
Yes actually, I would!
You love to see it.
😆
Yikes, Rays bullpen implodes
Well, less pressure on the Twins series, but still, I demand a sweep
Blue’s got somewhere to be all of a sudden.
Apparently Winder doesn't.
He just got here!
Winder mucking with our team ERA
oh boy these pesky Royals.....
Sucks having to bring Duran in to finish this game.
Let’s not go another 20+ years between Aprils like this, eh?
We're still on track for 150-12!
