Game 33: Twins at Tigers
Gibson (3-2, 2.97 ERA, 5.13 xFIP) vs. Simon (4-1, 3.44 ERA, 4.16 xFIP)
After a day off, the Twins get to head to Detroit for a series against the sometimes in first place, sometimes not Tigers. (currently not). Things haven't gone too swimmingly for the Twins against Detroit this year. Part of that could be things like letting Stauffer pitch to Cabrera (or anyone, but Cabrera especially). Of course, that can't happen this series.
Gibson looks to continue a pretty good start to his season. I am less optimistic he will tonight because it looks like he's been fairly lucky so far. He's striking pretty much no one out, even for a guy who doesn't really strike many guys out to begin with. That doesn't bode well if those FB's starting turning into HR's (6.5% HR/FB right now).
Fortunately, I think that first series of the season was the outlier for the Twin's offense, so it looks like they can, at least, score some runs against Tigers pitching.
I am assuming (hoping) Hicks will get the start tonight, although I can't seem to get any access to any lineup information because clicking "preview" on the Twins site sends me to season ticket information. Nice work guys.
Game 32: Native Indigenous Persons 8, Dual Siblings 2
It was so nice of the Twins to make it easy to stop watching this one early so we could spend more time with our families. Happy Mother's Day, moms!
Trevor May was bad. Danny Salazar was very good. That's about all you need to know about this one.
It was also nice of the Twins to win the first two games of this series. I don't like the Twins to lose any game, but I also realize no team is going to win every game (despite JeffA's brightest hopes) and so I try to look at the season series by series to get a better idea of how a team is doing. So I always very much want to win each series, so it makes it nice when the Twins have the series wrapped up before the finale.
It also was nice of the Twins to put all of their sucking into one game. If you play poorly in one aspect of the game, you're probably going to lose. If you're not going to hit, you might as well be bad at pitching and defense as well and get it all over with in one game. That would be efficiently sucking. Of course, you don't want this to be a consistent thing. Then it just becomes the last four seasons.

I don't see a game log posted, so here's one. I won't be around much, probably, but go Twins!
Game 30. Twins at Cleveland. 6:10pm.
Can Cleveland change its name already? The Cleveland Rocks! or Cleveland Awesomesauce or Cleveland Our River Is Not On Fire Anymore.
Anyway, Pelfrey for the Twins. Bauer for the Rocks!
Go Twins Go!

Game 27: A’s vs. Twins
Chavez (0-2, 2.55 ERA, 4.13 xFIP) vs. May (2-1, 4.43 ERA, 3.56 xFIP)
Trevor May gets the start tonight against Jesse Chavez. A quick look at Fangraphs shows an interesting contrast between the two starters. On the one hand, we have May who's xFIP shows he's been a bit better than his ERA would indicate, pitching better since a not so good first start. Then there's Chavez who's xFIP indicates the opposite and who is coming off of a not so good start after a decent one, with also pitching decent out of the pen to start the year.
The Twins look to continue their win streak, aided by getting the right teams at the right time. Apparently, a four game series with the White Sox is what any struggling team needs to turn things around in the short term, and a scuffling A's team is a good help to keep it going.
I expect big things out of May tonight as he's getting start number five on cinco de mayo.
2015 Game 26: Oakland Athletics vs. Minnesota Twins
It's official, I have absolutely no idea what to think of these guys.
I don't really have a lot of time here, but that's okay because I don't really have a lot to say (socaltwinsfan created a good case for healthy skepticism here). With help from a thoroughly enjoyable drubbing of the White Sox, the Twins are a winning team for the first time in almost a year. At this point, I'm not going to think too much about it and just enjoy.
We close out the longest homestand of the year with a visit from the scuffling A's. Maybe we can even get a few more ticks above .500. Hughes, in search of his first all mighty W, starts off on the mound tonight.
