Game 91: twins @ athletics
Game already in progress.
Game 88: tigers @ twins
Wow. Don't give up on the Twins, eh? Or if you do, don't give up on them in the 7th inning, when you've already invested just under two hours in the game. I mean, the Orange is the New Black finale was good, but...
Anyway, today, we've got Alfredo Simon taking on Phil Hughes. Simon has crafted an acceptable followup to his AllStar campaign last season, whereas our man Phil seems to be pitching quite a better better as of late (though those strikeout numbers are still down. Get 'em up, Phil!)
Prediction: Twins 7, Tigers 1
Game 75: twins @ brewers
Milone vs. Fiers
We join this game already in progress.
Game 74: twins @ brewers
Kyle Gibson starts for the Twins. His ERA is probably a lie, but that doesn't mean that he can't blow the Brewers away here.
The Brewers, meanwhile, continue the reunion you're by sending Matt Garza to the hill. He's going to try to get his season back on track here. He's going to fail.
Prediction: Twins 7, Brewers 2
Game 68: Cubs @ Twins
Lester versus May.
i'd have more to say here, but we're taking the young 'un home today.
Timefor a Twins win!
Game 61: twins @ rangers
Progress! This game is in it!
Pelfrey! Lewis!
Game 55: Brewers @ Twins
We've got ourselves a bullpen game today...
game 48: blue jays @ twins
Today, we've got a sub 4 (Aaron Sanchez, 4-4 3.98 ERA) and a sub 3 (Kyle Gibson, 4-3, 2.72 ERA) going at it. Pitcher's duel, right?
...eh
Game 37: Rays @ Twins
Trevor May takes the mound for the Twins today. I'm hoping he has a "progression to the mean" type start, so that his ERA can eke its way out of the abyss, and we can start talking about what to do with Nolasco (and Pelfrey, once he completes his transformation back into a pumpkin). Those seem like better places to trim rather than looking for excuses to not find out exactly what we have in May. If he's a reliever, that's fine, but it would be nice to actually, you know, find out for sure.
The Rays, meanwhile, are sending out Alex Colome, a pitcher who seems to be running low on chances to really catch on with the team.
I'm sort of expecting a bloodbath. Fearful prediction: Twins 8, Rays 2. May pitches like he ought to, and the top of the lineup comes through.
