Yesterday was the first time since August 11 that the Twins have lost a game on the same day Cleveland won. Despite the hiccup last night, the Twins are still taking care of business.
Francona: “he’s our closer, dammit” ... *spits tobacco* Like I have said, give me Rocco 6 days a week. Maybe that seventh day Francona wins on pure old-school-ness, but those other six days I’ll take the new guy, thankyouverymuch
If the scores hold up, it will be the first time since Aug. 11 that the Twins have lost on the same day Cleveland has won. August 11 was the series finale the last time the two teams played each other.
Maybe not a few weeks but otherwise I can’t disagree. Berríos, seems to me, is also the type of personality to either pitch through an injury or angrily refuse an offer of a 10-day DL to heal back up to 100% for something. (Or whatever percent% pitchers are pitching at, this time of year.)
