Yankees 4, Twins 0: Pablo Day Empty

Castro has earned a little stick for his defensive lapses recently. But he's still been good overall. 

I was happy to see the twins draw some walks against the Yankees, but apparently right now it's an either/or situation with the offense: walks or hits, but not both! Not great. Offense has really looked flat the last 2 games. 7 or 8 baserunners a game simply isn't enough. (This is not news)

I'm not panicking or anything, but it's really annoying to lose to the Yankees. I hate losing to the ChiSox the most, but then it's the damned Yankees. (probably followed by Cleveland?) I hate the arrogance and entitlement of the franchise, I hate how the media treats every midwest club that plays them as automatically being lesser, unworthy of attention or interest. I hate the fact that they can make stupid trades and signings and simply buy their way out of it. (I do love the fact that they haven't won a pennant or a title in 15 years, though, despite all their money. because it burns their fans up)

Hope the Twins can at least avoid the sweep. we're right in the division race, and I'd hate for a sweep to the damned Yankees to make people turn on this team again. because it feels like there's a portion of the fanbase that's looking for a reason to trash the club again, and that's really no fun at all.

Don’t turn this into Facebook-to many negative idiots who badmouth twins win or lose

and they're 7-3 vs. the Mariners, Blue Jays, and Red Sox. All good teams. 

Those are .500 or below .500 teams who are not even in the same zip code as the Yanks, Dodgers and O's.

To those crying for Castro not to be in center, you get your wish today:

Kirilloff, Margot and Vazquez - a black hole. That's 3 innings-worth of automatic outs that the Yankees are being handed. 

Yankees at +102 is free money, bet the house on it.

Where oh where has the offense gone?

If I didn't know better I'd have thought the Yankees rolled out Cy Young, Nolan Ryan, and Christy Mathewson against the Twins this series. The Twins have had 7 hits and 1 run; 4 hits and 0 runs, and 3 hits and 0 runs today through 6 innings. Twins are making the Yankee pitchers all look like Cy Young candidates. At least Twins aren't striking out as much as they had earlier in the year,

The Twins pitching hasn't been super but not as as the offense.

Well as a fan my mentality doesn't produce wins or losses. You can be a realist fan or unrealistic fan that is up to each individual. I was hoping for a sweep would have been super happy with two wins, but expecting the Twins to go 1 - 2 against a better team. My point was this series wouldn't have anything to do with playing the Yankees in the playoffs because hopefully they would have Lewis, Buxton and Stewart and that would help even out the teams. 

You do realize they have injuries also and are missing their best pitcher?
