Alright. 3-2 into the fifth inning. Maybe....maybe one more inning from Hill. 5th-Wisler 6th-May 7th-Clippard 8th-Duffy 9th-Pray

I'm old school, I miss the the interlocking white ND on the helmets. The logo looks fine, but would like a throwback look at some point.

Lol.....like what constitutes a catch in football? I'm only right 40 percent of the time.

That was my biggest issue. Graterol. I think they could of given up Duran or Alcala and another guy for Maeda. Graterol having a good first year in LA, and he will only get better. As of now the Twins are ahead in the trade.

I was a naysayer on that trade. But that was a better move than the Donaldson signing. Big win over Bieber. That guy is good.

Twins don't play two days and end up with home field advantage. Thanks KC. Two of three against the Tribe.

My neck of North Dakota had 67 positive tests in our county. More than imperial Cass! Likely due to a big testing event we had. Hoping that school doesn't get called because my kids begged me to go for the first time ever...."Dad!! We need to get away from mom!" So this Schloss article doesn't surprise me in the least bit. I can handle not seeing the Bizens and the Beaver trap. Start in November, if no fans are allowed so be it, but let these kids start and finish something, and compete. (Crossing my fingers to see the Irish still play Saturday)

Two of three against Cleveland....split on the South side.....two of three on the North side. When Odorizzi gets healthy they've got some decisions to make rotation wise. 1. Big Mike....2. Berrios....3. Maeda for sure, then you've got Hill, Dobnak, and Ode.

You had the whole bullpen built up if Dobnak faltered with two days off ahead....Duffey, May, Clippard, Stashak, Rodgers......and we went to Theilbar, after leaving Dobnak in too long, and thats the game...... And to make it all better we let Poppen pitch to Wong. I just don't get it.

Does Rocco know its only a 7 inning game?

May be time to hit up the pen.

They've got to let him pitch 7. Unless they get up 10 runs. Then let Smeltzer finish.

Big chance to get two games today with who we have going on the hill and St. Louis with a couple scrubs. Big Mike going 7 and Stashak coming back leaves everyone available today. Only 17 games left. Rocco has got to pay attention here. The Twins are currently the 7th seed and the first wild card team heading to Cleveland the first round. They are only a game back of Cleveland and Chicago with Cleveland showing up on Friday with Bieber on the hill. So important to be at home in the playoffs.

Alright, wanted 4-1 vs. Detroit so I'll be happy they got it. Weird homestand. Could of swept Chicago, could have swept Detroit, then again they could of easily went 2-3 against Detroit. Quick trip to St. Louis before two off days. Throw the sink at the cards tomorrow.

I'm lost on Rocco. Guy that is so about the statistics and playing percentages. Then when it comes to bullpen decisions in a close game in the 8th you have Smeltzer in to pitch. Fine, he hasn't gone in a while. Schoop makes him pay, Rosario is stupid.....Cabrera up.....open base.....we are really letting our worst lefty pitch to a future hall of famer with a base open? We shift, leave whole areas of the field open, leadoff with Sano, rarely hit and run....but don't put guys on.

Smeltzer is meat. He should only pitch when its 4 or more runs either way. Rosario is Rosario. Why Rocco doesn't put flipping Cabrera on base with a base open.....doesn't need to even be held on because he can't run. Let him hit and he drives in runs.

IMHO a better idea would have been going with four or even five game series between teams for every series. Then give teams a day off to move/clean/safely travel, then start up another one. Rotating through all the teams in division and geographically close by and spreading out head to head match-ups. The Twins going to St. Louis for one day to play a double header whether you are a social distancing person or not doesn't make any sense.

Another win. Quickly have won 5 in a row. Coming back twice the last two. Alcala may be ready to start here soon. If he can keep his breaking ball down and locate 98 on the corners at the top of the zone he can stay around the bigs.

Come on lineup....two hits through 6 innings? Guy has a 6 ERA to start the game.... Hopefully Clippard can clean up....

Woof......boy does Sano go on streaks.....

Quick win in game 1. Regroup and get two today.

Astudillo is back up with the club today. Kepler to the IL. And one of the young outfield products finally gets called up. Not the one everyone wants, but it'll be nice to see what Rooker can do. Thinking that Willans catches game two.....stay tuned.

Alright. Detroit for five games..... We almost got healthy.....then we didn't. Let's go 4-1 in this stretch. Likely no Arraez tomorrow or Kepler for the double header. 1. Polanco-SS. 2. Donaldson-3B. 3. Cruz-DH 4. Eddie-LF 5. Sano-1B. 6. Adrianza 2B. 7. Marwin-RF 8. Buck-CF 9. Jeff -C. Dobnak on the mound. Rested bully.....momentum might be back. Get two wins tomorrow.

And they put on a show. Great for ND football.

Matt Wisler perhaps getting a save opportunity here. On a side note Sano hitting lead off was a great way to add some humor to the group. Rocco always one to add some humor. Hey maybe it worked?
