PDX Twin Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Lots of good news, but Buxton is starting to look like the April Buxton. Maybe he could use a day off next week.
Blake Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Our swing band is here and warmed up. Ladies and gentleman, take your seats while you listen to our lead singer's beautiful voice! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq4KA0mUnC8 Ohh yeah, we're getting real CLASSY in here! Let's talk good things today... Jose Berrios: Happy Berrios day! He's been my favorite pitcher to watch for the Twins this year. As this season draws to a close, I realized that I watched probably twice as many Berrios starts than I have for, Gibby as an example. Will he get the nod in New York? We hope so! Closing out the season: There are 7 games left, and the Twins are 4.5 games up on the next WC contender. I keep repeating that because it was unimaginable to say this is a playoff team 6 months ago. I've got my rally monkey ordered for the playoffs.... DO YOU?!Closing out game threads: Barring my services needed in the playoffs, this is the last start ol' Vanimal is getting this year starting a game thread. For those counting, I'm at 2 years service time now, and inching every so close to requiring arbitration to continue writing! We're hoping to break Bryce Harper's record breaking arbitration contract next season! Thank You: To everyone that writes game threads during the year, and everyone that participates! It really is one of the best threads on the site.... When winter comes, and all there is to talk about is who called Doug M to fire him, well, this will be sorely missed. Sorry for the abbreviated version..... Didn't realize today was an early start for our team! LET'S GET A WIN TWINS! That was a cool cover. I keep forgetting how versatile good rock songs are.
notoriousgod71 Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Dick shocked that Romine was not high in demand during the trade deadline. Yeah, because teams were demanding guys like Verlander, Gray, Darvish, Upton, Martinez.
Darius Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Hopefully this offense can carry this through into the playoffs. Can we just go play NY tomorrow?
Blake Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Good grief, I get home from church, the Twins are up 5-2, I blink, it's now 10-2. Brad must think he's calling for this when he needs to bring in the bullpen:
Darius Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Lots of good news, but Buxton is starting to look like the April Buxton. Maybe he could use a day off next week.He was 5-12 with 4 RBI, 4 runs, 1 steal, and 1 BB in the series coming into today...
spinowner Provisional Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Molitor.....If you're referring to the pitching changes, I think he's just getting his relievers a little work.
notoriousgod71 Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Dick thinks Mauer can surpass Killebrew in runs scored next season if he has a similar season to this year. He is 95 runs behind and has scored 65 runs this season. The math doesn't really add up.

stringer bell Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 70 RBI club this year--Dozier, Sano, Polanco, Rosario, Escobar and Mayer. Did I miss anybody?

glunn Community Moderator Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Royals losing in Chicago. Angels and Rangers still not started today.
TwinsCD Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Probably a good thing Tonkin won't be on the playoff roster.
spinowner Provisional Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 That's what a major league hitter does to a 95 with no movement.
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Gonna go out and have chicken for dinner tonight! Yay!
spinowner Provisional Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Who's Mayer? My bologna's second name?Winner, winner, bologna dinner. Lunch. Whatevs.
Jerr Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 TD posters, have been really quiet this week, as I just got here...why????Hopefully, not hiding in their bunkers for the Yankee play off game, as those Yanks??? Their LAST game this year!!!!! Believe me!!!!!!
glunn Community Moderator Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Solid win, and we get the Tigers 3 more times to end the season. It looks like the Twins may get a chance to rest some guys before going to NY.
wavedog Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 82 and at least a 4 1/2 game lead going into the last week. Nice bounceback series after the Yankees one.
Jerr Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Who's Mayer? My bologna's second name?Could be, is his first name Oscar????
PDX Twin Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Could be, is his first name Oscar???? Would we feel any differently about Joe if his name was Oscar Mauer?
Squirrel Community Moderator Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Indiana Twin will be bringing in donuts tomorrow for his office.
stringer bell Verified Member Posted September 24, 2017 Posted September 24, 2017 Damn autocorrect. Anyway, my point was that I don't believe that very often a club has that many guys with 70 or more RBI. At least not the Twins.

I just used it for my entertainment.
