Mercy sakes alive. Looks like we got us a convoy.

You realize they are on base for 91 wins, right? And that virtually every team with that many wins makes the playoffs? 

Or that they have the second-best record in baseball over the last 70 games? Yes, I know they have to count the first 18 as well, but I tend to put about 3.89 times more credence in a 70-game sample than an 18-game sample?

(Apologies for the mathy stuff.)

Last thing I want to do on a Sat afternoon is math.

I’ll try to keep it simpler. 

9 > 3 

[TwinsCD]

I GOT IT!!

[Peter]

Twins got the team to win it call!! We have best shortstop/3rd baseman in baseball with corrida/royce/miranda/as well buxton!! Just get in playoffs

Sands with much needed relief

Atteberry: “Santana sticks the landing and gets a 6.0 from the German judge.”

Was Max scoring it?

That's my favorite 

[Squirrel]

That was a fun catch 🙂

[Patzky]

The Oort Cloud would be an ingenious but unappreciated fan club name for the Astros reliever.

[Doctor Gast]

Now if comes out in the 9th he qualifies for the save, doesn't he?

Solid job. No lead safe against Houston.

Nice catch #30.

He has to finish the game, of course.

And at “just” 28 pitches, I’d send him back out.

And the whole thing about retaining the lead. 😄

Low leverage enough for Thielbar? We shall see

6 run lead.  He's found his role out of the pen.

[Aggies7]

Nice win. Number 50

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nicely done, boys.

[Parfigliano]

Wing Stop wings for the  winner.

[Peter]

Great bounce back win!!! Let’s take series tomorrow!

[Doctor Gast]

Good game guys! Thielbar didn't look too bad

[Squirrel]

I'd go to the DQ but getting out and around this weekend will be difficult due to stupid NASCAR Chicago road race. Just ... stupid.

4th team in the AL to reach 50 wins. Not bad after the 7-13 start. Twins remain on a roll and will likely reach 96 wins or so if the injury bug stays away. 
Miranda, 13 straight ob with just the HBP in there with 12 hits. Super cool!!!

Doesn't much matter which order you get the wins in.

Except when it comes to claiming fan interest. The TV situation is brutal, but even when fans could watch them, slow starts were always bad for season-long attendance; they might want to figure that out one of these years.

Sorry.  But I've seen nothing to indicate that the Twins have enough to get to the WS, let alone a wild card spot.  I know it's early.  Lot's of season left.  And the Twins have had some bad breaks.  And recurring injuries.  And...  Blah-blah-blah.   Even when I try to keep a positive attitude, it starts to sound hollow.  It sounds like last year.  And the year before.  And so on.

Don't know what it will take to get there.  But it ain't gonna happen this year.  Alas...

Then under no circumstances should you invest in the stock market!
