I just read that the Twins are one of three teams that have not been shut out so far in 2017. I took a look to see how many times they were shut out at this point last year; three times. That wasn't particularly stunning. But being reminded how truly terrible they were last year was.

Twins Record - 8-26

 

May 13, 2017

Twins Record - 18-14

 

The 2016 Twins didn't win 18 games until June 8, and were 18-40. 

 

 

I hope that can brighten everyone's day just a little bit.

Almost a month ahead of the 2016 pace. Yeesh.

Now one of two teams not having been shut out, after the Indians failed to score last night.

It's fun to have a slight case of "Twins Win" fever once again

It's hard to get shut out when Miguel Sano hits those fly balls to the right field warning track...but then they carry another twenty feet.

I liked the line Roy Smalley used, that he credited to Gene Mauch about Reggie Jackson, "He's playing in smaller ballparks than everyone else."

Norma Desmond: I *am* big. It's the pictures that got small.

Last year, Twins record on July 1 was 25-54. Can they win one more game this week, and be a full month ahead of last year? And they have been playing for what, 7 weeks. Good times.
