The Twins take on the Tigers in Detroit this afternoon starting at 3:10 PM Central Time. I'm sure the starting time has something to do with television or TV rights. Shadows may or may not be a factor

In many ways, this road trip has been the Twins worst stretch of baseball all year.   Which isn't too bad, considering they're 5-3.

Meh, who would be the current day viola, Blyleven, berenguer and reardon? I’d feel a lot better with reardon on the mound to close a game than any of our guys

Yeah, Reardon would be all right, although at 63, his velo is down a couple mph.

That will never happen again. That team would not even qualify for the postseason in the modern-day format. They also lucked into home field for both rounds of the postseason because that rotated instead of being awarded to the team with the better record. And now teams have to go through three rounds (plus a wild card game) to win it all, meaning 4 starting pitchers are needed. They were probably the least likely team to win a World Championship ever. And I enjoyed every minute of it.

 

Edit: To clarify, Oakland would have won the AL West in today's format and the Twins, who had a better record than Oakland, would have finished third in the wild card standings and thereby found themselves on the outside looking in.

I wonder if a team has ever won a World Series with an average or worse pitching staff

Twins team pitching is fourth in the AL, quite a bit better than average Edited by LVTwinsfan
