3-0 to start the season, just like we all called it.

Well, it wasn't 12-1 as the established pattern required, but I'll take it. 

 

I was looking forward to 15-1, 18-1, and 21-1 vs. the White Sox, but come playoff time that game 1 score of 492-1 would be kind of boring.

"And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a 'winning streak'." - Lou Brown, "Major League 2."

I guess the Twins are technically in the midst of a winning streak.

You might be right.  It has been so long that our recognition skills are rusty.

Great game. The elephant in the room has to be Buxton. He is reaching yet again for that outside pitch and his bat speed sucks.

Also, I can't help but be amazed that Sano only saw 9 pitches in this game. It looks like he's being more aggressive early in the count instead of working his way to full counts regularly. Sure as heck seems to be working out for him.

Also, Breslow was brought into the game and almost cost us some runs.

However, when Breslow came back into the dugout he gathered all his teammates and told a cautionary tale about his poor performance, with all the players nodding in unison. This is what good mentors do.

You do realize this is the kind of thing game threads are built from, right?

Hopefully Paul M listens to reason and doesn't put BB 3rd anymore

Sano looks great thus far. I think Buxton needs to get bumped down a little.

 

I'd really like to see this lineup soon:

 

Dozier, 2B

Polanco, SS

Sano, 3B

Mauer, 1B

Kepler, RF

Park/Vargas/Grossman, DH

Castro, C

Buxton, CF

Rosario, LF

 

I love the idea of the speed at the bottom of the lineup when it turns over to Dozier. I'd also like to see Sano bumped up into the top 3 while he's hot (extra ABs, get him up in the first inning).

That math is cool is a universal constant.

No need to reaffirm it, when we can talk about winning.

Three shall be the wins, and the wins shall be 3. Not four, not two, but three...Thou shall not count down from 3 nor shalt though count up from 3. 3 shalt be the number...
