Arraez still out. Boy would it be huge to get him back for the postseason. Guessing Cruz is just precautionary. Playoff lineup gives me hope...
1. Buck
2. Arraez
3. Donaldson
4. Cruz
5. Rosario
6. Sano
7. Polanco
8. Kepler/Cave
9. Jeffers/Garver
The Twins win out and they win the division. Simple as that. Chi Sox have the Cubs to end the year, I can't see them winning four straight starting today. Plus they aren't going to move up Giolitto to Sunday instead of start him in Game 1 of the postseason.
The Twins were given a gift, now take it and run with it. Plus they miss Bauer.
Boy....that 11A group is thin on Western teams.
Dickinson, St. Marys, Watford City, Belcourt. I guess they'd make Devils Lake, and Jamestown West teams.
Happy bus trips.
If they walk Cabrera they can play the infield back and that ball that Candelaria or however you spell it hits is a double play ball.
One of these times me yelling at the TV for them to walk Cabrera with a base open will pay off and he will strikeout.
Would love to see a statistic on how much we attempt moving runners on non 3-2 counts. Have to be dead last. I can't remember the last time we hit and ran.
Frustrating game. Better to win ugly than lose ugly. I miss Arraez. Hopefully he's back at some point.
Bullpen not sharp tonight. Day off yesterday coming off limited work against the Sox. Thought they'd be ready.
This is such a big stretch of games. They've got to find a way to win tonight.
Thank you Rocco for taking out Homer and putting in a competent pitcher.
Detroit shouldn't score the rest of the game if Rocco rolls out the right relievers.
Okay.....predict the schedule.
Tennessee....loss. @Texans...loss. @Seahawks....loss. Falcons....loss. @Green Bay....loss. Lions.....win. @Bears....loss. Cowboys....loss. Panthers.....win. Jags.....win. @Tampa...loss. Bears.....loss. @Saints....loss. @Lions....loss.
3-13 is absolutely on the table. If it doesn't get them Lawrence then for the love of all things holy trade away future picks and get yourself some first round caliber lineman.
The Devil on my shoulder hopes Cousins gets dinged up and they have to go with Mannion, which is guaranteed losses going forward.
Four games at home with that staff. If Cleveland can take 3 of 4 and the Twins sweep Detroit the Twins have the lead going into the weekend with the White Sox hosting the Cubs.
I think 4-1 down the stretch gives the Twins the division.
The 2nd reciever is something called Bisi Johnson. The top corner is Holton Hill.
I've always been a Zimmer fan, but I agree. Blow it up. Get a young innovative offensive coordinator in there that can get creative with spreading the football around to different players.
They just extended Zimmer, so its a few more years of this.
Kepler showed a pulse! Wow!
You can tell Berrios has added incentive pitching against his brother-in-law tonight. Few bad walks, and attacking with the fastball inside.
Sano not close to the ball tonight. Sombrero for him.
Game handed to the bully. May, Duffy.....Clippard in the 9th maybe.
I was at Wrigley bout 10 years ago. Wore a Twins shirt and a Cubs hat to the game. Tried to explain I was a fan of both, but you learn quickly that isn't okay in Chicago.
