    As most of us already know, the Twins could clinch the AL Central tonight. In order to do so, both Cleveland and Detroit would have to lose their games. The Guardians are hosting Baltimore while the Tigers are at Oakland. Personally, I would like the Twins to clinch by winning their way to the postseason. The club has mostly clinched titles on the road and it would be fun for the fans to watch the team sew up the division and celebrate. We can probably use this thread to track the games. Who wants the team to clinch tonight?

    Very interesting posting. Polanco remains a fine offensive player with the adjustments he has made. What concerns me is that he is only 30 years old and his raw skills have diminished so much. Is this someone the Twins invest in long term? I think not and perhaps he should be moved before Father Time completes his assault on Polanco's tools. I think of Brian Dozier as a player who aged rapidly and wonder if the same would happen to Jorge.

    I'm watching the replay on Bally since I didn't see the game live. I wanted to see how on earth the Twins got a double steal with Farmer and Vázquez running. Moll apparently is pretty easy to read and paid little to no attention to the "runners". The ball still beat Farmer to third, but the 3B caught it while moving and didn't get the tag down immediately. What is the significance of the hands in the air with the index and middle fingers moving (perhaps a clawing motion)? I've seen it before, but don't know what it means.

    We’ve talked about Cleveland, but it looks to me like the last team the Twins will eliminate is Detroit.

    Buxton will get a rehab start tomorrow with St. Paul. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/09/byron-buxton-to-begin-rehab-assignment.html

    Tigers win! This greatly improves the chance that the Twins clinch on the field, as the Kitties next go to Oakland (they do play tomorrow night).

    If the Twins win all their games, they have a small chance. However, with so many games between the teams, someone will win them. Things would have to go just right for one of the teams not to win 90 games. As noted, the Twins have the tiebreaker with both Texas teams, but not Seattle. Domination in any of the head-to-head matchups or a Twin loss or two would render this thread moot.

    Tigers have also lost 81 games. They play the Dodgers later and could be eliminated today. I hope they win and keep remotely in the race as well.

    One of my favorites

    Well, for now we can drop the narrative about everyone getting healthy as we turn the calendar to October. The Twins are doing about as well as my Fantasy Football team (already two on IR).

    Nope, he homered on 8/27 against Houston.

    Good results tonight in St. Paul. Gallo 1-3 with a walk and RBI. Gordon 2-3 with a run scored. Paddack with three scoreless innings, two hits, one walk and five Ks. Stewart with a scoreless inning, one walk, one K. Alcalá with a scoreless inning, as well.

    Guards making a game of it in KC--trailing 7-6 with the tying run on and nobody out in the eighth.

    The Twins are gonna win the Central with or without Correa and Lewis. This is all about their chances to win games in postseason and advance.

    Two weeks to get better. That’s about what it took for Michael A. I’m sure they’ll do an MRI—hope all it is is a tight hammy.
  18. stringer bell
    He never showed the base stealing ability he has this year. He’s a below-average hitter and was never a premium defender at up-the-middle positions. Castro has been outstanding this year in the field and on the bases.
  19. stringer bell
    Don’t drop your note card, Willi!!
  20. stringer bell
    Funderburk needs to be better on the first hitter he faces. He’s been outstanding besides that, but getting the first guy is crucial for relief pitchers.
  21. stringer bell
    See if Lewis can steal second here.
  22. stringer bell
    A lot of pitches for Maeda that inning. He'll probably be lucky to go 6. Bullpen is rested, so I don't think they should push him.
  23. stringer bell
    Willi played that one like an elite CF. He hasn't done that every time.
  24. stringer bell
    I hope Jeffers starts every postseason game.
  25. stringer bell
    Bat.
