Last Tuesday game log of the 2024 season and the Twins struggling for a playoff spot AND get to play the lowly Marlins at home for three games. What could go wrong? Well, how much time do you have? I could go on for paragraphs about the ass bats, then throw in injuries, bullpen productivity....
Bailey Ober on the mound for the Twins and it's been a really nice breakout season for him. The Twins will need to see that continue tonight and maybe later this weekend too if they want to scootch by the Royals and Tigers. Ryan Weather for the Marlins and he's just one of those guys that pitch for a team that will probably lose a 100 games.
First pitch at 6:40 and actually looks like great weather for this whole stretch, maybe get out to the park one last time this year?
This is a shitshow.
I feel like checking out two weeks ago was the right move.
I think blowing that rubber game with the Cardinals started the steep downward slope
Is there some kind of Degree of Difficulty thing with this season that I'm unaware of?
Meanwhile the Royals-Nats game was scoreless through nine. At least the Twins aren't the only hapless Central team at the moment.
It's like the Twins' goal was to be a .500 team, and once they hit 81 wins they let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground to let the last few games slide on by.
