I'd love to win the division but I'm really starting to hope we can win it and somehow avoid the Indians. Looking at the current 4-8 seeds I think my preference of teams to face in the playoffs right now would go: 1. Blue Jays 2. Astros 3./4. Indians/White Sox 5.Yankees I'd actually like it to be the Yankees honestly. They are dreadful on the road and honestly if we are going to get king kong off our back it may as well be this year. Losing to them again for the &%##* time wouldn't bug me. They own us in the playoffs, nothing we can do to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They own us in the playoffs, nothing we can do to change that. They have the record for most consecutive playoff losses and most consecutive playoff losses to the same team. It would be nice to get the Yankees and end both those streaks, as well as win a playoff series for the first time since 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 With Homer Bailey getting kicked to the curve, I am guess that Odo is going to get the 5th spot in the playoff rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 All three teams in the AL Central behind at the moment. Big chance for the Twins if they turn this around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Marwin can't hit a ball in play, and Rosario can't hit the cut off man. At least Cleveland and Chicago are losing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The Sox will be on the road for the postseason if they don't wake up. Unfortunately they just poked the crap out of the bear tonight, and now the Cubs may care again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDMOORHEAD Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Buxton takes a fastball to the head. He seemed to be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he stays in town though as he plays a multitude of positions. And now Buxton takes one to the head. Can't catch a break.

SWSiouxMN Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I’m more annoyed with the offense than anything pitching staff wise right now. many chances to score runs and couldn’t get the job done..... again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxScore Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Twins go 0-2 in situations you have to execute in to last in the playoffs. Gonzalez strikes out in the 4th with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out and Garver strikes out in the 8th with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out. I think ideally going into the playoffs you'd like to have Arraez and Jeffers in place of those two. Not sure Arraez will be ready though but Jeffers should definitely be in but not sure I trust Rocco will make the right decision there.

SiouxScore Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 The loss last night hurts in winning the division but actually helped in the playoff matchups as the A's moved into 2nd and the Twins dropped to 3rd and would face the Astros if the playoffs started today. Hopefully the Twins are able to put a couple wins together and get the division and the A's are able to keep winning and stay in that 2 spot.

Wilbur Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 So....Twins win one game the rest of the way and the Indians win out we've got ourselves the 3rd seed and the Houston cheaters. Oakland winning out helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
