Twins Log Game 114 – Paler Hosers at Twins
Oof, another drubbing by the White Sox. If I had some time I'd love to see what the run differential has been between these two teams this year. Thankfully not a lot of games left against the Sox.
Griffin Jax on the mound for the Twins and he's been a nice little addition in mid to late summer. Not sure what his long term prospects are but at least he's not in the J.A. Happ territory. Dallas Keuchel on the mound for Chicago and he's been a decent of the back of the rotation guy: gives the team a chance to win and eats up some innings. Twins could use someone like that.
First pitch at 7:10

2021 Game Log 112: Chicago White Sox at Minnesota Twins
Tornado sirens are going off as I type this, so hopefully I won't be blown away before the game.
It's gonna have to be the tornado that blows me away, because these Twins aren't going to do it! They are coming off a nice series against the Astros, but the White Sox have not been kind to the Gemini this year. Something called Beau Burrows is getting his first start today against Giolito. Is that an opener thing? Dunno. Does it matter?
Uh, go Twins!
Game 112 – Twins @ Houston
Pineda yesterday means Maeda today.
It is oddly satisfying to me that the Twins kept two rhyming starters in their rotation after the trade deadline. I tried to come up with a fun couplet to describe the rotation, but I have been informed that Twins pitching and fun aren't allowed to go together.
2021 Game Eleventy-one: Minnesota At Houston
So how about those Twins? Two in a row! Three out of four! Four out of six! We're making our charge for the pennant!
Well, maybe not. But even in a lost season, it's nice to see them win. Maybe they'll make it three in a row. Michael Pineda goes for the Twins, Luis Garcia for the Trashstros. Go Twins!

Bailey Ober pitches against some newcomer who goes by the name of Greinke.
Man, that guy is still good.
2021 Game 109: Twins at Astros
Game Time - 7:10 p.m. CDT
The Twins made multiple deals ahead of the trade deadline last week as they "retool for the future." No word on when that future is expected to arrive. Fans are asked to remain patient while the retooling process is underway.
Griffin Jax on the mound for the Twins today. He's 1-1 in 3 starts with a 6.41 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP, so there's some room for improvement here. Framber Valdez takes the ball for the Astros. He's got a 7-2 record, a 3.01 ERA, and a 1.30 WHIP. Play ball!
2021 Game 108: Minnesota Twins at Cincinnati Reds
Charlie Barnes
vs
Luis Castillo
Charlie Barnes returns to finish off the two-game series against the Reds. He started the first game of a doubleheader against Detroit before heading back to St. Paul for two more starts. He's had an unremarkable year in AAA but had a good spot start in Detroit. Let's hope he can do that again.

Sorry late, Twins in Cincinnati.
Game 106: Twins @ Cardinals
We get another start from Big Mike! That's not something a lot of people thought would happen, but with Berrios and Happ gone, Pineda gets to be the veteran starter for the rest of this season. He's had two good starts since the All- Star break, classic Pineda starts of 5 or 6 innings, allowing 1 or 2 runs. You know, the kind of starts that apparently have no trade value.
Let's all take a minute to appreciate Jorge Polanco's July: .327/.366/.548, 6 HR
And there was Luis Arraez in July as well: .373/.415/.458
Alright, those are the positive vibes I got. Go Twins!
