After today, the Twins will be halfway through the regular season, with a record of 20-10 or 19-11, and on top of an increasingly competitive AL Central. While the White Sox have powered their way into contention, the Indians have pitching, pitching, and more pitching. Looking at the roster, Cesar Hernandez, Jose Ramirez, and Franmil Reyes are the only above-average hitters. However, the Indians' rotation is preposterous to think about. Even without Clevinger and Plesac, the Indians still have a Cy Young contender in Shane Bieber, future All-Star Aaron Civale, vet and cancer survivor Carlos Carrasco, and rising star Triston McKenzie.

I get to be in class, there are projects to work on, I get to work on jobs, I can see some friends, and I also still have a couple more months of baseball to watch. I'm grateful to have all of these, as so many people still won't have these for the foreseeable future. Currently, I am in the planning stages of building a weed-whacker attachment for a riding lawn mower. Even on small tasks, it is incredible how much has to be taken into consideration. Cost, installation, safety, and practicality are just a few of the things that I have to consider for each and every decision I make. Surprising, engineering is very comparable to America's pasttime. Slight adjustments can lead to wildly different results, as seen by Miguel Sano's past few games. Serious thought has to be put into every decision that is made on the diamond and working on an engineering projects One of those decisions for the Twins was to rest Maeda an extra day after an excellent showing. Could he have another great game? I would hope so, at least against the Indians. I expect a low scoring game. 2-1 Twins with a key Sano double? That would be good enough for me! Let's play ball!
