Problem the Twins have is three fold:

1. Bad team...duh?

2. FSN aka Bally's is a Black Hole on streaming platforms. Losing the younger generation Big Time ( I'm ancient btw)

3. Does anybody feel safe going to downtown Minneapolis at Target Field anymore?

Recipe for a.......Relocation?

Now I'll eat some lasagna...

Tommy.....

I was at the game last night and Minneapolis would have been utterly quiet if not for people cramming themselves into bars to celebrate the relaxed masking regulations.

I'm heading there in a couple of hours and will feel completely safe... just as I've felt every time I visit downtown Minneapolis.

You cannot defend against walks and home runs. This one is all on Shoemaker. And our lack of offense.

Law’s “scoreless streak” with 5 out of 5 inherited runners allowed to score seems like a fitting distinction for the 2021 Twins. (5 hits and 4 walks in 3 innings over his 3 appearances prior to last night.)

Law’s current 5.51 FIP is the third-worst among active Twins relievers, ahead of only Alcala and Anderson.

Exactly. And Rogers is a 5 of 6 inherited runners scored at 3.21 ERA/0-1 W-L/2 blown saves out of 4 chances.

When it comes to relievers, since the job is relief, IRS and %IRS is the best indicator of if they did their job and provided relief, rather than pass the runs given up to their teammates.
