Cobb just keeps breezing along.  A nice spring evening walk in the park.

We're gonna need a bigger cusp...

[Aggies7]

Lopez’s numbers look amazing, even still. Sometimes numbers do lie 

[OvertheHill]

Nope. It seems like weeks since the Twins have 2 consecutive hits in an inning. 

[Winston Smith]

Looks like a four team cluster f**k for the Central this year.

[Parfigliano]

Another powerful offensive game

[PDX Twin]

I'm finding this Twins team very entertaining. Kind of like the Bad News Bears. I know they're going to find a way to lose, but I'm never sure exactly how.

I know. I know. They're in first place! Whoopie! That just means there are four teams in the division who do what the Twins do better than they do.

Well at least we got the great News about Rocco being here thru 2025,  And the Team is sure Responding,  

[RickOShea]

Horrible strike zone

You must like teams that, you know, score more runs than the other team.

That’s what my friends and I would say in high school before the keg parties. Hopefully the twins have a different outcome than we did 

[RickOShea]

Does CC get a pinch hit shot, despite his sore heel?

So basically we need 7-8 innings out of the starter and duran to close in order to win.

Good strategy

But Duran isn't pitching much because the set ups are losing it before the 9th. Wasn't it Andrew Miller that had that run as a "fireman" and would close or pitch multiple innings, and sometimes get brought in in the 6th or so because the bases were loaded and no outs? I think it was Miller. Duran could be that guy. And he definitely is not being overused. More like under used, holding him to close games that never get there, and then he has to pitch with a 4 run lead just to give him work! I would like to see him when he is needed to save a game. Sometimes that isn't the 9th.
