  1. As long as we give up less runs and score more runs in three of the same games we should come out on top. The keys to doing this are pitching defense and hitting. We got this.
  2. You mean other SS would call for the pick off play?…. Who?
  3. Solano had a .369 on base and .391 Slg with 26 2Bs 1 3B and 5 HRs last year Arraez had a .375 on base and .420 Slg with a similar 31 2Bs 1 3B and 8 HRs in over 130 more ABs. The main difference in Slg percentage is the batting average difference. Arraez got more hits and Solano got more walks.
  4. Castro just defended his Twinsdaily award he got today. Well maybe not with the GIDP but we did score another run. so there's that.
  5. Berrios still has a chance to help pitch us to the next playoff round. I believe he can do it. Just give him a chance. he can get it done over the next few innings.
  6. Solano wins this. He replaced Arreaz production from the year before. Compare their on base and slugging number and extra base hits. Other than average he was an Arreaz clone for 2 million and signed in spring training.
  7. Punto was a flawless base runner and great defensively at 2B and 3rd and above average at SS. He just didn’t want to hit.
  8. I like the Julio Rodriguez contract as a format an extension for Lewis should be like. There are protections in it for both team and player and enough money and time to potentially lock him up for his career.
  9. The Twins need to sign LEwis to a contract similar to what Julio Rodriguez signed in Seattle. Potentially a 14 year and 300-400 million deal with escalators and options and opt outs to protect both parties interests.
  10. Playoff fun with numbers. Royce Has a 5.000 OPS in the playoffs
  11. Both teams also did it with an Eddy Rosario contributing to the totals. Varland was available to pitch yesterday. He should have gotten the call before we tanked the game yesterday. That was embarrassing.
  12. both teams also did it with Eddie Rosario contributing to the HR totals too.
  13. The healthiest players will be on the field. I suspect Lewis will DH game 1 and probably start at third in game 2 and DH game 3 and be back at third moving forward starting round 2.
  14. The Twins have been around a lot longer than just the 2000s. You could include the 1965 World Series Team or 87 and 91 World Series winners or is the article about the 18 game losing streak. We are not the Mariners or Rangers 2 teams who have never won the World Series. I don’t think Seattle has even been to the World Series. We atleast get chances to go to the playoffs and the 2010 and 2020 teams were really good those years.
  15. We definitely won’t be seeing a 10 inning game 7 of the World Series shutout this time against the Braves by our starting pitcher…..
  16. Lopez missed the strikeout crown by three. They should have left him in there till he got it. Gausman 237 Ks Lopez 234 Ks
  17. It might be overkill, but I can see the Twins adding 12 pitchers for the post season. Our bullpen would be that dominant that a 15-inning game will not wear out the pen for the next game. I could be wrong, but the pitching is our strength this post season we need to dominate with it. Also check out this article on mlbtraderumors.com regarding our pen for the playoffs.

  18. The solution to preventing the bullpen implosion we see in past years is easy. Gray and Lopez will have to pitch complete games to secure their wins. If Berrios or Meada stayed in their games longer and pitched more than 5 innings. They could have saved the bullpen from themselves and the streak would have ended back then.
  19. September pen has Funderbunk and Varland in it vs August pen….
