I'll take these version of Bailey and Hill for another 11 starts each please. 

 Bullpen is lights out too so far 

[SWSiouxMN]

So last night went well.... not

now the news that a Cardinal player just tested positive for COVID.....  Oy.  

 

[SWSiouxMN]

They got to play thank god.

Dobnak with a big outing and the bats came alive.  Good bounce back win. 

Hope they can get through more than the weekend.  Worst Commish in Sports Manfred is warning the union if things dont get better, he will shut it down as soon as Monday. *

*Although to be fair, I understand why he is warning them.

Twins Need to own Cleveland

Brilliant outing by Maeda tonight

Trade working out so far for the Twins. 

Nice to see Sano jack a couple out.  Hope he can get it going now.

5 more games postponed today. They keep adding up. Not looking good

I'm a little more hopeful that I was 24 hours ago on the season.  

It is good so far that no Twins have tested positive since the report of the Cardinals outbreak.  I hope it stays that way. 

However, I just don't know how the Marlins, Cardinals, and Phillies are going to get all of their games in.

believed to be covid related since he was positive at summer camp.

Nice work by the Twins to take 3 of 4 from Cleveland.

Bullpen is ELITE

Big early statement from the Twins. Winning early series against what are expected to be the top 2 challengers in the central.

Give credit to Rocco and his staff and also the boy wonders for putting it together.  They have done a good job overhauling it since last year... minus damaged goods Dyson.

Not good 

[SWSiouxMN]

At least the good news is that it sounds like the Phillies can play starting on Monday. 

 

 

[SWSiouxMN]

Twins won one that they probably didn't deserve to win based on some follies by the Pirates.

Bad News however is that 3/5th of their starting rotation sits on the IL.  Oy.

Overachieving?

I'd say slightly, given the offense really hasn't gotten going and the pitching staff is exceeding expectations given Odo, Bailey, and Hill have missed starts. Dobnak has been awesome and Maeda has been as advertised. 

[Walsh Hall]

It's such a benefit to have Marwin on this team.  Clutch hitter and can play any defensive position at an above average level.  Gives so much versatility  with injuries and rest.

[SWSiouxMN]

So, what the heck are the Cardinals going to do to make up these games?  I believe that is now 11 games PPD because of positive COVID tests.

Some ugly baseball from the Twins the last few games.

Buxton is heating up however. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Quarter of the season done

Twins are 10-5

but man.... the offense needs to get it going and fast.  

Berrios.... be a stopper tomorrow. 

[SWSiouxMN]

Dobnak has been a godsend

Twins back on track.

Hope they can win the series against the Brew Crew and then use the off day Thursday to reset themselves.
