    I expected a lot of Gallo's humor here.

    Good job blocking that extra point!

    As with last August, we have reached the dispiriting reality that a Magic 8 Ball is more likely to predict a Twins outcome correctly than are advanced statistics.

    Lenny Faedo pitches tomorrow?

    Gritty performance by Keuchel and resilient offense late. Great to see Rick Aguilera's* walkoff homer as well. (*Some Twins uniform numbers are stuck in my mind in 1991. So be it.)

    So when are you offering your services to Jim Pohlad, Nick? Serious question. And one more: Your business ventures notwithstanding, is such unending purgatory worth it?

    The biggest problem I have with this site is not the use of SABR-metrics to sound the alarm, which in Correa's case has significant justification. Instead, it's the incessant use of SABR-metrics to cast a dark cloud over everything the Twins are doing. Perhaps Falvine, Baldelli and the Pohlads deserve it. Also, Minnesota sports fans expect worst-case scenarios because the history often has been ugly. There's a difference, however, between saying "the sky is falling" and the equivalent of a frog dissection that too often is directed to stoke such emotions.

    Four homers allowed in two innings. A contrarian interpretation of baseball's Ryan Express.

    Trust the prostate.

    After the Twins' sweep of the White Sox, which included a 3-run 9th inning comeback, I said I was back on the bandwagon. I still am, as this team had one of the lowest ERA in the majors at the All-Star break despite having played 29 games against the AL East. The second-half schedule on paper is considerably easier. But this week is a good reminder that this team's fragility is as bad as last year's, and that a collapse is always possible. It's also a reminder that the only Minnesota team worth watching this autumn is... ...Gopher volleyball.

    Streakier than mascara at midnight.

    So three bad bullpen performances result in...one loss. Statistically, I can live with that.

    Great win again, and now a four-game lead. But those White Sox uniforms are ewww.
  14. BH67
    On the bandwagon after this one.
  15. BH67
    At this moment, only 24 Twins games after the All-Star break are against teams over .500. Arguably they've given up the fewest runs in the majors against one of the toughest schedules.

    Per Ted: "...short starts aren’t simply a Twins thing, and they really aren’t a Baldelli thing either. Baseball has trended toward pulling pitchers earlier as hitters have become so much more advanced, and there are so few truly elite arms." Ted, in what way statistically do you mean this?

    Local government financial matters, for one.

    This win is a perfect nunc dimittis for me and this version of my favorite baseball team. My commentary on the 2022 Twins ends here. Root them on well, whatever happens. The randomness in performance, the constant running on half an engine and the ludicrous volume of injuries are no longer worth my energy and time this autumn. Go Twins.

    Depends on how far one views the pipeline. Wichita, Cedar Rapids and Fort Myers are either first or second in their leagues in fewest runs allowed for the season, regardless of the system ratings. None of that emerges to the big stage until 2024, which is frustrating, but that's a very positive status. The bigger issue for me is health once they (and field players) arrive at Target Field. Something is badly wrong with the conditioning program at the big club, as I can't accept statistically this much "bad luck." A change there seems to my novice observation to be most important during this coming offseason.

    This story has "folk hero" written all over it. No better venue for the debut. Go get 'em, Louie.
  21. BH67
    Slight title change: from "Judge Homer Beats Twins" to "Bringing in Megill to Face Judge Beats Twins." There, fixed.
  22. BH67
    Crashing, burning, and yet back into a tie for first place. This is the most bizarre Twins season I can remember. No outcome in the stretch run will surprise me. Que sera, sera.
  23. BH67
    In 11 innings, Seattle beats Cleveland, 6-3. The Twins are somehow tied for first place. I hereby ask Congress to revoke MLB's antitrust exemption should an AL Central team be admitted to the playoffs.
  24. BH67
    Dylan Bundy is now routinely providing five reliable innings per start and keeping the Twins in each game he pitches. Deserved congrats aplenty, Dylan.
  25. BH67
    With this team, I expect Nick Gordon soon to be sidelined due to Tommy John surgery.
