What's up with Schoop? Second time tonight he's almost messed up a routine play? And then last week the deek on his own firstbaseman! ???

[Mill1634]

Twins win!!!

 

Absolutely fantastic outing from Devin Smeltzer, the bullpen does a decent job, and the bats do what they do. Get clutch hits and runs when they need them most. This season feels like something special. 

 

Enjoy the day off tomorrow, and stay safe!

 

Go Twins!!!

 

Also, I am now 10-3 in game threads I've started. I should do this more often.

Ordered a Smeltzer tee shirt and it arrived today. Just sayin.

Smeltzer earned another start with his performance tonight. I'll be curious to see what the Twins do with the rotation if he looks really good again.

Hope to see Buxton again, and soon.

That was an awesome game. You know it is emotional if tough Jack Morris gets choked up. Way to go Twins. Just Awesome!

He'll get another shot for sure. Long season. But he could also end up in the pen for this season and be a candidate for the rotation in 2020.

Chicken for dinner tonight, folks!

 

An open faced fried chicken sandwich? No gravy? No mashed potatoes? No dressing? No bacon, tomato or greens? Pretty sure that doesn’t count as a sandwich.

Twins, after glancing at the standings: "We're 27-14 in other games. Who needs you?"

The opponent is Milwaukee. So I searched for Milwaukee chicken specialties and this came up. I didn't want to go all gourmet-like on everyone.

I'm glad we're all enjoying this together. Thanks Twins Daily. What a great website.

10-3>27-14.

 

Also, those stats aren't all from this year.

Look, I can either do subtraction, or division, or logic. Not all three at once.

Buxton crashing into a wall again sours the win, but what an amazing story (and performance) for Smeltzer.

I hear tell you are supposed to slow the game down.

 

But i'm sure we all appreciate ya battling yer tails off for TD.

[USAFChief]

So when the Twins offer Smeltzer for Scherzer, what else will Washington have to give up?

Uh, I think you meant when Washington offers Scherzer for Smeltzer.

The Turtle is slowing down?

Who was the last Twins player not named Puckett or Carew who had 200 hits in a season? (Hint coming if nobody gets it)

Paul Molitor in 1996. (Not that I didn’t love me some César Tovar.)

Nice catch.

MLB.com has it wrong, which surprises me. They simply leave Molitor off the list.
