[Brock Beauchamp]

Old friend Tyler Mahle takes the bump.

For those invested in #tankwatch, a loss today would guarantee the Twins finish with the second-worst record in the AL (and a bottom-five record across all of baseball)...

Welp, we made it through the Storm With a Name.  Lotta trees didn't make it, and blocked some roads.  One of our usual poop-walk paths got buried.  Stuff got tossed around the village a bit, some garden stuff shredded,  but hey, free bananas! 🍌  Thanks for the good wishes from Twinkie-Land!

They earned this.

That Mahle trade always frosts me.  Gave up a pair of young sluggers with potential, for a year and change of a whole lotta nuthin.

Glad to hear.

I spent a year in Thailand during our foray into Vietnam during the early 70s.  I never imagined the rains that could come down with winds. Wild.

Sadly Keaschall is done for the year, but McCusker is getting his big chances and JULIEN, can shine or flop at 1st base.

Reason to watch.....If Vazquez goes 5 for 5 today he gets his BA over .200

Buck can't start a game better than that, two days in a row!!!

 

David, glad you and the dog are ok.

[Blyleven2011]

Buck leads off with another dinger,  next year get some players that can get on base in front of him and have buxton bat third and if healthy  buxton could have a big career year ..

[William K Johnson]

Martin is a not a good baserunner and Larnac continues to pile up the strikeouts.

[Tlaker]

Amazing how many outs on the base paths this team has managed er… rather mismanaged this season. Sigh….

[Patzky]

Buck again! Hope it's not the only run today.

[Patzky]

Louie Varland opening for the Jays  today.

[Tlaker]

David HK …….. saw some videos on the BBC. Absolutely horrendous! Glad you are ok!

I don't understand Buck leading off. He likes to swing at the first pitch too much.  I'd rather have a pitch taker in the lead off spot.

[Patzky]

Maybe stealing requires more..

[ziggy]

Perhaps the Twins should be not quite so agressive on the base paths.

2 innings, 2 bone head outs.

I'm starting to be concerned he may be working his way back into consideration.. 😎

Did anyone else read this post in Forrest Gump's voice?

Poor Bailey , all he has done is lead the american league in home runs allowed ,  cant even call it his Fastball anymore  88-89 mph  , how can anyone think he should be a starter with this team next year , ?  Always been a Bailey backer but i cant see how he can regain anything , fly ball pitcher who cant throw mid 90 or close ,   Go Twins !!!
