So, I finally broke down and bought the MLB ticket so I can watch the Twins come back and win 90 games this year! That's why we were losing cuz I wasn't watching!
You win the Powerball?

They should feel out if Mauer would be willing to catch a day or 2 per week to help out. Couldn't be worse than what we've been putting out there behind the plate.

Not going to happen. They don't want to risk him getting another concussion and the PR issues that would come with that.

This phenomenon we are currently experiencing is known as a "winning streak".

At the beginning of the season, I was hoping that KGb would be able to provide us with a reliable 5th starter. Who would have guessed he would be holding the rotation together the first 6 weeks. KGb has really kicked some ass. Was hoping for adequate, got something far better than that. Hope he maintains it.

The art of the productive out is still lost on Brian Dozier

We really gotta get Grossman, Adrianza and Wilson/Castro out of our lineups

Obviously not 0 ERA good. But the guy is nasty.

Throws 95/96 consistently and deep into his pitch count. That slider when on is filthy.

Does have a few issues tho

Walks, high pitch counts and beaning the back up catcher in the head being the main ones. Also seems to hang the slider a bit.

But yeah, he’s good. With him and Berrios it’s nice having guys with legit stuff. Now we need consistency.

I remember a guy named Alberts, who pitched two shut outs in his first two games for the Twins. A couple years later, he was pitching in Korea. The league catches up to you. What you do then will decide your fate.
