MIN 9, KC 6: Twins Swat Four Homers, Avoid Sweep

Appreciate the recaps Tom. Seriously.

Seemed to happen very early each game and felt (to me anyway) like he was deliberately smearing it up.  Maybe I'm crazy.

Could be both.

Thanks for sticking around and continuing to read these things everybody. What keeps me interested is that, even though the Twins have nothing to play for, some of these players are getting what may end up being their only/biggest shot. You never know.

Unfortunately, there have been quite a few guys who have not impressed. On the other hand, getting to see Astudillo on a regular basis is a treat and watching a performance like Austin's yesterday really gets you wondering about what he could become.

There's so much swing and miss in Austin's game, but it's impressive when he gets a hold of one. If he can cut back on the Ks and continue to provide strong defense like he did today, you've got a very exciting player. That's a big if, of course, but he's certainly among the reasons to keep watching over these last couple weeks. Hopefully his back is OK.

Thanks for the recaps, I read them every day. It's hard enough to watch the Twins now, it must be almost impossible to think and post about them. Btw, my birthday is in March, I will be forwarding a pic for you to use on that recap.

Ha! 

I figured I'd throw Robbie a bone. He's been playing really well of late (.878 OPS since the start of August), but just doesn't get a lot of attention/coverage. But what really is there to say?

It'll be interesting to see if Grossman returns in 2019. He's still getting on base (.355 OBP) and killing lefties (.822 OPS). He's definitely a Major League hitter, but he's so vanilla. Plus, at this point I think it's fair to say he is what he is. Unlike guys such as Cave or Austin, you can't really project Robbie to get any better from here.
