Not a lot of time today so just a few quick takes:
- The Twins are a .500 team in a sub-.500 division. It may be enough to make a postseason cameo appearance but that's about it.
- Standing pat at the trade deadline is not a bad thing if you're not getting past the first round of the playoffs anyway.
- Luis Arraez will probably become the first player to win back to back batting championships in different leagues.
- My wife calls leaving RISP "decorating the bases." The Twins do a lot of base decorating.
Sonny Gray and Matthew Liberatore on the mound tonight.
Play ball!
Enjoying this one from home tonight - I'm worn out, don't know how people can attend a whole series or more.
Also:
Facing a pitcher who's awful in the first inning, the Twins go down one, two, three.
But not in the second inning!
Two two-run homers!
Michael A "Mark McGwire" Taylor!
Now we need to avoid the Sonny Gray Meltdown Inning.
Uh oh, loaded up
And TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!
Free ribbie!
Just the start the Twins needed after yesterday, and the other side of the state.
Only four Ks? Cards pitchers are slackers
There has only been a single game lower than that this season: April 3 in Miami. No four strikeout games yet, five games with five strikeouts, and another five games with six strikeouts.
And equal BBs, too
