What is the record for safeties?

 

Season total allowed, or given up in consecutive games?

[FlauerPauer]

 

They do, if you ignore Bieber's insane, high-end-reliever-esque K rate... Maeda has been great, but Bieber should win it in a landslide.

 

Beiber has him in K's, but Maeda has given up less baserunners and has a pretty good K rate as well. If he wins tonight, he'll have 6. A sub 2.30 ERA. WHIP below .70 and only 10 walks. Dude has been a stud. Bieber has more wins, a better ERA, and a more K's and k/9 rate, but that's pretty much it. We all know W's are a chance of circumstance. All I'm saying is there is a chance; especially if the Twins win the Division.

That was sort of an "Instant insurance run or bust" at bat by Buxton.

Its sad that that is a question after two games

[FlauerPauer]

Might be one of the last times you see Rick Anderson on FSN north.

A third is called a "nickel back."

[LVTwinsfan]

Cleveland wins

[Aggies7]

The Indians win!!! OMG

[LaBombo]

Crazy far homer by Rosario, but an air raid siren in a stadium filled mostly with cardboard fans makes me feel like an especially depressing ending from The Twilight Zone is about to play out.

[MNT1996]

A couple weeks ago I was confident that the Twins were going to move on from Rosario in favor of a prospect next year. Now, I'm not so confident.

Twins are back in first if they win this game

It would be very hard to replace his bat.

but will still need at least one more Chicago loss to claim the ALC.

[Danchat]

Things really are falling in place for the Twins these past couple days. Suddenly it looks possible to be the #2 seed!

[stringer bell]

What size are the White Sox'collars?

[LVTwinsfan]

The best way to avoid the Yankees is to stay in first

[Aggies7]

The preferred method

[stringer bell]

Cleveland may win out. They play Pittsburgh this weekend to close out the season.

No longer coming to a civic center near you in 2020!!!

 

Don't say the lockdown never did anything for you.

If results stay the same as they are now, twins will just have to win one more game than the Sox the rest of the way

Who do you think you are to say that, Burgess Meredith?
