    The Twins are playing at a .623 clip over their past 53 games despite numerous injuries and wildly inconsistent hitting and relief pitching. That's a pretty durable accomplishment, so keep that reality in mind over the next two weeks no matter what happens during a much shorter game span against a competitive division rival.

    For solid relief pitching, the Twins need to go to the portal. In this case, a time portal, set to 1991 and Carl Willis. Hey, a guy can dream...

    Now to Phoenix, followed by eight games in ten days against Cleveland. The first taste of the pennant race is upon us.

    I'm sure Randy Bush is delighted. He wouldn't bequeath his number to just anyone. Seriously, if Buxton stays healthy I envision a summer of him and Aaron Judge that could echo faintly that of McGwire and Sosa in 1998.

    A deserved toast to our own Crash Davis. Great article.

    I'm imagining the following primary lineup: Arraez, Buxton, Correa, Kepler, Polanco, Miranda, Sanchez, Urshela, Lewis. Not possible due to Royce's ACL tear, but that is pretty tantalizing to consider.

    How many grand slams have the Twins hit this year? I read some place that the most they've had in a season is 8. 3-7 vs. the Tigers and Royals, followed by 5-3 against the top three in the AL East. Whatever works... Also, of all MLB players currently eligible for the batting title, 23 of the top 25 in OPS have at least 20 extra-base hits so far this season -- the exceptions are Giancarlo Stanton (16) and Luis Arraez (8).

    Welcome to ABC Primetime. The Summer of Arraez, Buxton and Correa will be fantastic.

    Time to demolish Target Field's center field wall and bring back Metrodome tarp. And stacks of foam cushions behind it.

    We made a short drive to Scranton once to see friends staying at the hotel atop the huge bluff beyond left field at the RailRiders' ballpark. Beautiful view -- and much taller than the Green Monster.

    You're in Scranton? You definitely see lots of future Yankees. (I lived in Allentown for a few years and saw lots of future Phillies. Not quite the same thing.) A thorough blasting of Cortes and Cole is significantly different from the efforts of previous Twins teams. There's genuine fire alongside the talent, even if it faded tonight. Agreed that better starting pitching will help significantly.

    Not in agreement on fetal position. Also confident that this Twins team will not cower to the Yankees on the return trip or in a possible division series. Perhaps contrary to most of you, and I get it. Good to see Buxton en fuego.
  13. BH67
    When's the last time the Twins beat the Yankees by seven runs?
  14. BH67
    38 and 110 over the last twenty years... The Twins have won THAT many?
  15. BH67
    Yes, it's time. By the way, I looked through the minor league standings yesterday and discovered that all the following are presently true: Wichita has allowed the fewest runs of any Texas League team. Cedar Rapids has allowed the fewest runs of any Midwest League team. Fort Myers has allowed the fewest runs of any Florida State League team. I'm infrequent to this site, so I'm sure this has been talked about a lot here. Such an "alignment of the planets" causes dangerous giddiness to emerge in me about the Twins' future. I welcome a bucket of ice water if necessary.

    "The delicious irony of trading the expensive contract of aging third baseman Josh Donaldson, only to sign the All-Star shortstop coveted by the Yankees with the newly-freed funds, is a breathtakingly brazen and exquisite move almost too delightful to put into words. " Falvine is fine with me for just this reason.

    What is your favorite color?
  18. BH67
    Hey! The Purple are only three plays away from 4-0!
  19. BH67
    Buxton finishes 2021 with a 1.005 OPS.

    'Tis a sad thing indeed that a.Minnesota professional sports fan can find joy only in the performance of an Iowa-based affiliate this weekend. Lynx excepted as usual, of course.

    I celebrated Twins Mathematical Elimination Day yesterday. I'll do the same for the Vikings on Sunday.
  22. BH67
    I was most impressed today with the Twins' resilience. The 9th inning could easily have led to a letdown, but they fought through it. 9-and-4 in the last two weeks shows plenty of fight left in them -- and maybe with nothing at stake they go to the Bronx and Fenway without intimidation.

    Martin and Lewis will hopefully reveal a less turbulent brilliance together than that other namesake partnership (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_and_Lewis)..
  24. BH67
    5 and 2 against the Astros and White Sox. Bring on the Ya...oops, got carried away.
  25. BH67
    The point was made that the Twins need to show that they can develop their considerable talent. Can they? Will they? I'm not knowledgeable enough on advanced baseball metrics as many of you. I am a frustrated Minnesota sports fan who sees former Twins make the All-Star team and draws potentially specious conclusions about the farm system. I also live in metro Houston, where the Astros continue to grow great talent to the majors notwithstanding their recent cheating. And so, I'll wait and see, but with diminished expectations...my roots are Minnesotan, after all.
