    It’s likely the Twins would be okay if they win 1 or even 0. Not that it would FEEL okay…but that’s just the way it is this year.

    It’s an interesting sentiment, and not lost on me. Having said that…referring to the new schedule as ‘even’ or ‘balanced’ is misleading (and not accurate). Not reflecting on the author here, because it seems a common practice. Still play divisional opponents 14 times a year (down from 19). That’s still more than twice as much as other teams in the AL…and still over a third of the season dedicated to divisional rivals. I don’t think that will change much the degree to which we learn to love, hate, and respect their stars.

    Looks bad now, but at the time, I didn’t hate it. As I figured he’d be a great center fielder for 100 games a year and average to modestly above average hitter. (I too was apparently overly optimistic.) But, to your point, Buxton has really NEVER had a good season. The only thing that could be called a ‘season’ was 2017, and only his defense was good that season. His entire career is a string of small sample results…including small sample ‘seasons’…ricocheting between phenomenal and completely awful…great when fly balls are going over the fence, and really bad when they aren’t. Making him what he’s always been…a dangerous, but overall only slightly above average hitter. The K’s and very low OBP were there from day 1, and have always been there.

    18-17 or better to finish isn’t out of the question. Probably be close.

    Kinda feel bad for Duran though…battled, but beat by a couple of ground balls and a misplay. Is a little concerning that he’s not getting many swings and misses with the fastball tho.
  6. jkcarew
    Now…a couple line drive outs to infielders and a warning track fly ball, and we’re out of here.
  7. jkcarew
    Lewis is going to need to learn to lay off pitches out of the zone. Just because you have the talent to put it into play…doesn’t mean you should.
  8. jkcarew
    And the offense could score a bunch in the 10th to make it moot. Meanwhile, one run allowed and it’s over. Obviously not a great position to be in no matter how you slice it.
  9. jkcarew
    Gotta score a bunch here.
  10. jkcarew
    That’s a Wallner specialty. That pitch was MAYBE 3 inches out of the zone 😄
  11. jkcarew
    Nothing but fastballs and changeups to the first 3 guys…(3rd guy gets lucky)…then nothing but sweepers to the last, until he finally retires him with a FB. I’m so confused with Jax.
  12. jkcarew
    The Pagan Theorem…. Emelio Pagan is alway the numerator.
  13. jkcarew
    All right! Thielbar was 100% more effective than Pagan.
  14. jkcarew
    If only there were 7-inning games in the playoffs.
  15. jkcarew
    Well, my late-inning hope is fading…it would have been some consolation if we at least made Williams work tonight. Corbin Burnes tomorrow, right?
  16. jkcarew
    We can only hope someone has told Sands he doesn’t have to face 3 batters here. That it’s not a requirement.
  17. jkcarew
    And to think…all we had to do to win the Floro/Lopez trade, was to have the cab that picked Floro up at the airport, drive him to St Paul. But no!!
  18. jkcarew
    I took it to mean that he would ALSO give up 2 runs in the 6th. Either way, you were being optimistic at the time. The judges give it to you.
  19. jkcarew
    Alas…I guess Lewis’s 427 BABiP might not be sustainable after all.
  20. jkcarew
    Ober doing it!
  21. jkcarew
    With Gladden. He’s lucky to be alive.
  22. jkcarew
    I guess that’s proof that you DO need to be careful what you wish for.
  23. jkcarew
    Would love to see us get a couple guys on for Vasquez here.
  24. jkcarew
    Good sign. If Miley can find the barrel of Vasquez’s bat…
