    No way Buxton plays in 120+ games. Today will be the 17th game he will have missed in its entirety and we are just past the 1/3 mark of the season.
  2. stringer bell
    Prediction: The Jays will score at least five runs. The Twins need to keep scoring.

    By every stat and metric, Gausman is a superior pitcher to Berríos. After the Polanco homer, the Twins did nothing. Today, after the fielding error, they’ve really made Gausman work. They have had some good fortune as well.
  4. stringer bell
    Yup. Arraez gets a stand-up triple on the same play.
  5. stringer bell
    Have a day Jermaine!
  6. stringer bell
    No-doubter.
  7. stringer bell
    It was a great throw, but “don’t make the third out at third base”.
  8. stringer bell
    This is the plan. I can’t say that I like or agree with the plan, but until we hear otherwise, Buxton will continue to play about 2/3s of the time and be a half-time center fielder.
  9. stringer bell
    At least the fielding follies netted runs and extra pitches for their ace.
  10. stringer bell
    Prediction: There will be a lot of hitters in a funk by the end of the Yankee series.
  11. stringer bell
    Larnach is in a funk. Written before his at-bat is over.
  12. stringer bell
    Kirilloff's numbers are very good. He has a .348 BA and .992 OPS. It looks like he's too good for AAA, but the question is whether his wrist is healed to the point that he can swing freely.
  13. stringer bell
    Is Kirilloff ready to come back to the Twins?
  14. stringer bell
    Hamilton for the ninth?
  15. stringer bell
    This is why Moran didn’t make the team out of spring training and wasn’t promoted earlier.
  16. stringer bell
    Time for Jeffers to wake up.
  17. stringer bell
    Would be nice to get that runner in when he was on second with none out.
  18. stringer bell
    Gonzalez’ ERA is now 54.00. It might need to improve a bit.
  19. stringer bell
    Now do these replacements need to be added to the 40-man roster?
  20. stringer bell
    A little tough sledding for T-Rog. As long as he is healthy, he’ll be fine.
  21. stringer bell
    Don’t want to alibi too much for Ober, but I think the inning is a lot different if Polanco makes that play.
  22. stringer bell
    Missed over a week with COVID and has noticeable lefty-righty splits.

    The Twins finished the month of May with an 18-12 record. Given the schedule they faced in that month, 18 wins isn't exactly dominating. They closed with a 4-5 record in their last nine games playing bottom-dwellers in those last games. Here are the stats for May per ESPN. https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/name/min/split/41/table/batting/sort/OPS/dir/desc and https://www.espn.com/mlb/team/stats/_/type/pitching/name/min/split/41 Just a few highlights. Luis Arraez, Trevor Larnach, and Gary Sanchez had fine months. Arraez was an OBP machine. Trevor Larnach had a fine month, but only played in 16 games due to injury. Lowlights: Buxton, Jeffers, and Miranda. Pitching highlights included excellent months from Sonny Gray, Joe Ryan, Devin Smeltzer and Jhoan Duran. Disappointments included Chris Archer and Yennier Cano. The team outscored their opponents 137-120. The hitters walked 105 times, while Twins' pitchers walked 83 hitters, they struck out 256 batters while the hitters struck out 231 times. The Twins allowed 249 hits while getting 266 hits from their offense. The home run discrepency was 30-27 in favor of the Al Central leaders. Looking at stats provides a little longer view of the season and the month. My view of the month was that there were some interludes where they were very good, but they finished the month playing less than their best. Injuries and COVID-19 have flipped the roster sideways. Byron Buxton needs to either get right or get well and the pitching staff needs health or reinforcements.

    The Twins finished 18-12 for May. I was hoping for 20 wins in the month, so it is a minor disappointment. The next month will tell a tale, but it's a long season and players not on the horizon might play a role in future months.
  25. stringer bell
    I think Smeltzer has been a great story and without thinking, I thought he would be a lock for Twins Pitcher of the Month. That said, Gray was outstanding and is a great choice.
