José Berríos
vs
Mike Clevinger
Time for Berríos to continue his success from the last game and continue how well the starters have pitched in this series. The Twins meanwhile scored four against Clevinger to close out July. He pitched well, if wild, against Cincinnati earlier this month and has been out since.
The Twins are 4-2 against Cleveland so far. One more win clinches at least .500 against them this year. Let's make this a 4-2 game to turn the season series to 5-2.

Let's see what this Smeltzer kid has when he's used as more of a conventional attack than a surprise one, eh?

This is the Battle for the AL Central (lead)
Perhaps the biggest series of the season (so far)
....so...
Make or Break?
Do or Die?
Win or Go Home?
All or Nothing?
Sink or Swim?
Now or Never?
Put Up or Shut Up?
...or...
is it just, "one game at a time"?
we shall see!

It's getting annoying to have Cleveland continually nipping at our heels.

Loading... In progress. Stewart holding down the fort so far. Mauer is still wonderful.
Day game. On faveboom (that's FB; i like the non-autocorrected version better).
The next in our new feature installation of GOSO game logs.

After the Twins deal Dozier and Lynn (and Mauer?), they go on a crazy run with house money but ultimately fall short after improbably winning their Wild Card game.
In any case, Jeremy Bieber is pitching.
Odorizzi vs. Bieber*
Shane Bieber is Cleveland's #3 prospect. The 23-year-old makes his MLB debut tonight.
After a bad outing in NY on April 23, Odorizzi has only 2 decisions, both W's, and the team is 3-3 in games he's started (all three L's were 1-run games ... shocker). He's still not generally giving them more than ~5 innings per start, but he's been quietly better, allowing no more than 3 earned runs in 5 of his past 6 starts.
I'm not going to talk about the offense, because there isn't any...
There's almost no chance the Twins can make the playoffs via the wild card ... they need to make up ground on the division leaders - tonight's opposition. At 22-29, the Twins currently have the 4th worst record in the AL.** Lucky for them, two of the three below them are in the Central Division.

**the NL has only 2 teams with fewer wins: the Marlins and Reds.
Sorry guys and gals, this has gotta be a quick one. Go team!
Looking forward to a good Game 7. Perhaps it will come down to the very last batter...

Seriously thinking about heading to Wrigleyville to watch it...
