Too bad the Twins prioritized Mahle over Castillo.

I choose to include Sonny Gray also, in that calculus.

I see the Astros pulled Verlander in the midst of another no-hitter...

The amount of times this has happened to pitchers all around MLB makes me sad.

Former Twins (still qualifies as non-Twins) Kyle Gibson and Jose Berrios were 44th and 45th amongst 45 qualified pitchers in ERA. Former Twin Taylor Rogers led MLB with 10 blown saves (Pagan was tied for 3rd with 7, Lopez tied for 8th with 6). Former Twin Jose Berrios tied for 2nd in HR/9, tied for 43rd amongst qualified pitchers in WAR. Former Twin Martin Perez walked the 3rd most batters in MLB.

Former Twin Jonathan Schoop was 128th of 130 qualified batters in AVG, 127th in SLG, 130th in OBP and 130th in wRC+.  Former Twin Nelson Cruz was 129th of 130 qualified batters in WAR.  

Our hometown 9 may not have performed to expectations, but some of the former players (non-Twins now) also had horrendous seasons.

Note: The Twins had 0 pitchers qualify for the ERA title, and only 3 batters qualify for the batting title (won by Arraez!!) and of those, 2 were top 15 in GIDP, 3 if you include Miranda.

Only 45 qualifying shows it's a bad measure.

Waaaaa, not fair! <pout>

I had no interest in this series at all. Now I want the Astros to win. Then I’ll cheer on either the Padres or Phillies (but hope Padres) in the WS
