Shutout in a doubleheader. How many times has that happened in history?

At least once

I think the visiting dugout in Oakland is lined with green kryptonite.

I wonder if BP and infield is optional tomorrow.

It started with the blown lead against the Mariners, then the Monday postponement, then a bad series with Boston, then the covid stuff. You’d have to wonder if that Mariners game had gone differently, would be this awful right now?

I think the choppy schedule, all the ppds, the Covid stuff, the travel and the double-headers really have this team muddled. I'm guessing no team has played fewer, regular 9 inning games than the Twins. Plus some of the "regular" games have been in 32 degree weather.

 

I really do think MN should start with at least 10 games on the road in domes or down south/west to start the season.
