    With Cleveland’s loss, they have 27 games left and could finish with 106 wins. Twins would need 24 wins to get to 107, so the magic number is 24, with 28 to play. If Cleveland goes 20-7 down the stretch, they finish with 99 wins. The Twins would need to go 17-11 to finish with 100 wins.

    Blake Bivens, I am sorry. W.T.F.

    I just read the game thread after watching a decent bit of the game game. Neither the announcers or anyone in the gamethread noted that the almost all of the of the Twins hits went the opposite way. They went in against 99mph Cease with a plan and executed it to perfection. Cron doesn’t really do opposite field...so he hit the ball up the middle. Tons opposite field hits, including a Cave HR.

    Looking at the division race, Cleveland is 78-55, 29 games left. Minnesota 81-51, 30 games left. Cleveland could finish 29-0 with 107 wins, so the Twins would need 27 wins to finish with 108, so the magic number is 27. If Cleveland finishes 20-9, (a 690 pace) they finish 98-64. Twins would need to go 18-12 (a 600 pace) to beat them.

    Twins season by tens: 6-4 7-3 6-4 6-4 9-1 6-4 7-3 5-5 5-5 4-6 7-3 4-6 7-3 2-0 Or, if counting by NFL units, they are 9-2-2. Great record, the only problem is there is another really good team in the same division.

    Taylor Rogers is the punter. Cruz is probably on the defensive line along with Sano and Pineda. Berrios is strong and agile. He’s my starting RB. I think Polanco is either a DB or Safety. I like Buxton and Kepler both split out wide as wide receivers.

    There are two reasons I hated the Giolito-Eaton trade: the Twins have to face Giolito a lot, and the Nats don’t get to have him in the rotation. Eaton has helped make up (a bit) for the Harper departure, but that is one I am sure Russo would like back.

    I still want to see him start. He’s had a mediocre year. All is not lost. In some ways I’m glad he’s out of options next year, as they will be forced to give him a chance to make it in the bigsz
  9. AlwaysinModeration
    I think he’s getting the call, and it will either be Tuesday, Aug 27 in Chicago or Friday, August 30 against Detroit. He didn’t pitch Sunday, and only has two appearances for Rochester, so I imagine they would like to see him get 1-2 more chances before the call-up. Price is a bit of an odd comp for him, but I get the premise. I think we should temper expectations for him a bit.

    The fine folks in Cedar Rapids must be thrilled to see Buxton play there for a couple of games. And I’m sure the players are excited too, and are looking forward to a nice meal paid for by Byron!
  11. AlwaysinModeration
    Whoops. Sorry. I guess I didn’t really pay attention.

    He has been pretty consistent in giving up late leads recently.
  14. AlwaysinModeration
    Will be anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 games ahead by the time they play again. Cleveland gets to play Stroman and Syndergaard in the meantime. Seems like a familiar story to win one game in a blowout and lose the series.
  15. AlwaysinModeration
    Get ahead in the count, I’m pretty sure. The announcers were also touting how he had thrown first pitch strikes for a majority of the batters of the game.
  16. AlwaysinModeration
    Holy crap.
  17. AlwaysinModeration
    Duran, Smeltzer and Vallimont all seem to have improved upon their minor league career track records after their arrival in the Twins organization, wouldn’t it be fair to say?
  18. AlwaysinModeration
    Thank you for doing the write-ups, and for posting relevant videos. Seems like a legit quid pro quo to me....
  19. AlwaysinModeration
    Love these updates. They are on pace to hit 315 or 316. They are averaging 1.95 HR/game. With 39 games to play, it seems obvious they will set the all-time record. It also seems plausible that they hit 300 this year. The biggest question, though, is whether they finish the season with the most home runs. The Yankees hit four yesterday, and have 226 for the year. They are 14 behind the Twins. Will the Twins be able to hold them off?
  20. AlwaysinModeration
    Not only that, but Duffey got his second win of the day yesterday, too. He had to work a lot harder this time around, facing twice as many batter yesterday for the win.
  21. AlwaysinModeration
    Hell, a pitcher could “pitch” a perfect game without throwing a pitch!
  22. AlwaysinModeration
    Do we care about wins now?
  23. AlwaysinModeration
    Hold on a second, did you say that Willians WALKED? How about Brusdar heading to Texas?
  24. AlwaysinModeration
    They are too busy for the likes of us, so I don’t think that will materialarraez.
  25. AlwaysinModeration
    The prospect rankers clearly felt he had Arraezted development.
