    Buster Olney, in March, ranked the hardest AL early season schedules (roughly the first 40 games). ( http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/buster-olney/insider/post?id=9568 ) ------------------- 3. Minnesota Twins Games against teams that had records over .500 in 2014: 30 of their first 40. Home/road: 20 of their first 40 are at home. Noteworthy: Not only do the Twins have their share of in-division games against rivals from the AL Central early, but they also have a four-game series against Oakland and a two-game series against the Pirates. Before the All-Star break, the Twins will see the Tigers in 13 games and the Royals in 13 games. Good luck with that. -------------- This early, I think it's fair to consider teams that were supposed to be good as still making a schedule "hard" even though they aren't playing that way currently. Do you think the Oakland fans are bemoaning their "hard" schedule because they've had to play the Twins 7 games? No. In the same vain we shouldn't be downgrading the strength of our schedule just because Oakland, Seattle, and Cleveland haven't looked like the teams people thought they were going to be.

    That half inning was shorter than a commercial break

    Nice DP. Sets up the double leadoff hitters next inning!

    The Twins are 8-10 and half of those games (soon to be 60%) have come against, what one publication deems to be the best two teams in the league ( http://grantland.com/the-triangle/mlb-the-30-marlins-astros-rays-cardinals-bad-luck/ ) The Twins have looked downright terrible at times over these first three weeks, but looking purely at W/L, I'd say we are more than holding our own. Another publican agrees ( http://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/rpi )

    There are currently 40 Major League players, who's qualified Batting Average is higher than the Minnesota Twins team slugging percentage (0.318) Not surprisingly, none of those players are Twins

    The twins have to be leading the league in runs scored without an RBI, right?
  7. Whammy
    Fixed it
  8. Whammy
    Calling it... Oswaldo walk-off
  9. Whammy
    Tyler Duffey deserves a promotion before Berrios .... and I love Berrios

    Part of me feels this way, but another part of me wants to see what that AA team can do in the first half of their season.

    Buxton had a triple and not a HR Unless he scored and it was originally ruled a triple with an error, but changed to an inside the park HR. Based on the video of him rounding 2nd, it looked like he could have scored about 2 seconds after touching 3b.

    I'm hoping for Willy Mays, with a better smile

    and a walk fast math tells me.... 1.400 OPS
  18. Whammy
    THIS is how you do fun with numbers.... Twins RBI so far this season = 0 (96 Plate Appearances) MLB Pitchers RBI so far this season = 1 (89 Plate appearances)
  19. Whammy
    This isn't exactly BYTO material
  20. Whammy
    Nick Burdi, starting off this year much like last year
  21. Whammy
    BOOM! Sano goes yard!
  22. Whammy
    Speaking of avian flu.... A guy that should be on the Twins roster by mid-summer is about to take the mound to close out the AA opener. Nick Burdi... come on down
  23. Whammy
    Terry Ryan thinks he needs more seasoning, though.
  24. Whammy
    Bradin Hagins (not our guy), has 8 strikeouts through 3ip That's strong. As I was typing this he struck out another guy.... 9 strikeouts through 3.1ip

    The problem with these three loses is not the fact that they were losses. Losses happen. It's that there was not ONE redeeming thing from those three games. The offense has looked terrible. The pitching has looked terrible. The defense has looked terrible. And, frankly, the coaching decisions haven't been very good either (sitting Arcia against a Righty). Not a single thing to hang our hats on. Well.... there's IS one thing: http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?sid=milb&org=142&ymd=20150409
