Guardians (Messick) vs Twins (Lopez): 9/19/20, 7:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Guardians are on the fringes of contention, wouldn't that be a shame if the Twins decided to finally win a series.

[The Great Hambino]

Well, at least the Twins can't get walked off this series

[thelanges5]

Twins playing my least favorite team this week. They are on a 13-2 streak and have a record of 79-61 .564 vs the Twins in the Falvey era.

Last Pablo Day ever?

The Twins have completed 152 games.  We're in a 10-man rotation now?

I’m pretty sure only home starts are so honored. Apologies if that’s not correct.

Ah, very true.  Sorry for misunderstanding.  Today's a Pablo day, but also Pablo Day, and I whiffed.

I really believe Pablo is worth the investment of his contract. I hope they keep him beyond this year. The Guardians are running hot in mid-September. It doesn't seem to matter who is the manager or who is on the team, it always seems to happen.

The Twins on the active roster are playing for pride and many are auditioning for 2026. They seem to be winning about one of three games since the trade deadline. Getting a split in the series would be exceeding expectations.

Cleveland was dead and buried about a month ago. The Twins were slightly ahead of them at the All Star break.

We Twins fans follow a team that does not learn its lesson that “It’s never over until it’s over.”

I doubt think Philly will celebrate Pablo Day. They DO celebrate Duran-tula

No, for real, you are correct .... they were 15.5 games back on July 8.

Question of the Game:

Since it's Fan Appreciation weekend at Target Field, how could the Twins make you feel appreciated? 

(I feel like I already know what a lot of answers are going to be)

I'll say it.....1) Pohlad's sell team 1a) Falvey-Baldelli gone.

What i miss?

Wallner to the IL (oblique) and Keirsey up. Wallner’s season effectively done.

The conclusion of a really disappointing season for Wallner.

Also for Keirsey. 🙃

Well, he'll get ten more games to maybe change the numbers positively.

[tony&rodney]

This series should be very interesting. Players on each side have plenty to play for in these four games. Obviously, the Guardians are playing for the ALC title and a playoff spot. The Twins guys are playing for their jobs. There should be all out effort on display all weekend. A lack of effort would be a direct reflection on the managers. I'm looking forward to some excellent baseball.

I just want them to tell the fans that they are going to spend some money in the offseason, and compete next year.

How about big sour lies?

 

We'll win it all next year without adding (exactly) a dime in payroll.

But he's not starting this game... How many games does that leave him?

My money says Kiersey's present .324 OPS is lower at seasons end.

I’d take that bet considering how bad a .324 OPS is.

Is there rain falling in the Target Firld vicinity? We’re having a thundershower in SE MN.

Dang , you beat me to it ....

It's the obvious answer , no other answer will do ....

Also wallner right oblique on IL list  , Keirsey Jr brought up  , would have been a good time for some enthusiasm and bring up fedko for last nine games , but he wasn't on 40 man roster , why not dfa someone from the roster and add him , 

What a crock , the moves they make just to antagonize the fans  ...

[SteveLV]

I think they have 2 or 3 spots open on the 40 man right now, so they could have added Fedko (or Eeles or anyone else besides Kiersey for that matter....)

I'll get back to you after the weekend  , but I hope we have some enthusiastic games like the Yankees series , I hope they don't revert back to 3 hits per game...
