GARV SAUCE!!!

Can we please activate Astudillo for Ehire.

EDDIE!

Hildy needs to be able to get the 7-8-9 hitters out of a poor Tigers lineup. He has been up and down. So is the life of a reliever. He's fine as a 7th inning guy, but he is nothing more than that.

Hildy doesn't have it today.

Please hit Garver or Marwin

CJ CRUSHED!!!!

I will take the 21st and 28th. also, the google doc needs to be changed to give access to "everyone with the link"

Twins Win!!! Fantastic outing from Gibson, the bats are amazing once again, and the bullpen doesn't bat an eye either. The Twins did exactly what they needed to do against an inferior team. Let's do the same this weekend. Have a good evening, and Thursday, y'all. Go Twins.

Rough series for Nelson. I suspect he bounces back against the Tigers. Hard player to keep down for long.

Good inning for Harper. He has solidified himself as a reliable middle reliever.

He could have been activated today. I think he will be activated by Friday for sure.

Interesting that Rocco has pulled Berrios and KG with lowish pitch counts and rolling. I don't disagree with it, just interesting to note.

Update: KKKKKKKKKKKyle Gibson just set a career record

Cruz and Garver have combined for 8 of our 18 outs. We still have 9 runs. This team is good, folks.

KKKKKKKKKKyle is rolling

This team is fun, wow.

JORGE JACK!!!!! He didn't miss that one

Great inning from KKKyle

Alright Gibby, pitch with the lead. Attack the zone.

Jorge!!! Great start

The Minnesota Twins look to sweep the Blue Jays in their three game series north of the boarder, and look to take home the season series win 4-3 with a win tonight. Kyle Gibson will look to bounce back after a rough outing, and the pitching staff will look to throw a third straight shutout. Vlad Guerrero Jr. has been given the day off from the Blue Jays lineup after struggling to get going in his first go around in the show. The Pitchers: Kyle Gibson (2-1, 4.68 ERA, 29 K's) vs Trent Thorton (0-3, 4.08 ERA, 38 K's) The Twins lost 6-5 in Gibson's first go around against the Blue Jays. Gibson threw 5.1 innings, giving up 4 runs on 4 hits. He also walked three hitters, while striking out six. That was when Gibson was battling back from E-coli, and should start to show signs from last years breakout being farther removed from the illness. Hopefully the defense helps him out more tonight than in his last start. Trent Thorton was the only Blue Jay losing pitcher in Minnesota, managing to go 4.2 innings. He also gave up four runs on six hits, but only struck out three Minnesota Twins. Thorton is striking out nearly 10 hitters per nine innings pitched, but is allowing almost a homer and a half. Twins hitters will need to jump on Thorton early in the count. The Lineups: Twins RF Max Kepler L SS J. Polanco S DH Nelson Cruz R LF E. Rosario L 1B C.J. Cron R 3B M. Gonzalez S C Mitch Garver R 2B J. Schoop R CF Byron Buxton R Blue Jays 2B Eric Sogard L SS F. Galvis S CF R. Grichuk R DH Justin Smoak S 1B Rowdy Tellez L LF B. McKinney L 3B B. Drury R RF S. Brito L C Luke Maile R The Twins are going with their best lineup that the current roster is able to put on the field. Mitch Garver is one of the best hitting catchers in baseball, and this lineup doesn't feature Ehire Adrianza, the only hitter that makes me eek when I see a Twins hitter at the plate. There is not an easy out in this lineup. No Twin has had more than three AB's against Thorton, so career stats are very irrelevant. Justin Smoak is the only Toronto hitter with great success off of Gibson, going 4-15, including four runners driven in. As previously mentioned, the Blue Jay's lineup lacks Vlad Guerrero Jr. which makes sense. The top prospect has struggled to adjust to the show, and an off day never hurt anyone to clear their mind. Mill's Moments 1. Addison Reed Rehabbing Addison Reed was very good through 20 or so innings last year, before seeming to wear out. This is not a surprise as Paul Molitor seemed to send him out to the mount in every high leverage situation early in the year. However, many fans seemed to have written off Reed. If he is able to bounceback to the pitcher we saw in the first 20 innings in 2018 it will be a very welcomed addition to the Minnesota Twins pen. He worked a scoreless inning in last nights game at AAA Rochester. I think it makes sense to give him at least 15 days in AAA ball before rushing him back. 2. Kohl Stewart Saturday? Kohl Stewart only threw two innings in last nights game before being relieved by aforementioned Addison Reed. Stewart struck out five hitters in his six out performance. This seems to point to him being one of the starters on Saturday's double header, more than likely as the 26th man. He seems to be option #6 on the starting depth chart, as he pitched a respectable performance against his hometown Astros earlier in the year. He will have an easier task on Saturday, going up against the Detroit Tigers. This Day in History: 1984- Kirby Puckett collects four singles in his first major league game, helping Minnesota beat the Angels, 5-0. The 24 year-old Twins' rookie, a future Hall of Famer, will finish his 12-year major league career with a lifetime .318 batting average. (via Nationalpastime) Pick to Click: C.J Cron is going yard today, me thinks. Go Twins!!!

Twins win!!! Great night from Berrios, the hitters struggled at times, but they let Sanchez work himself into trouble. Interesting that we went to Rogers for the save tonight, although I don't disagree with the move. Let's take the sweep tomorrow!

Kohl Stewart for a 2 inning game....looks like he will be a starter for one of the Saturday games

Adrianza can not hit HALF of his weight
