MLB: 2017 Minnesota Twins Thread
- Thread starter mj4cy
- Start date
Some 200,000 games have been played in the history of major league baseball.
It sometimes amazes me to hear about MLB firsts. Like a perfect game, one of the rarest feats, happens once every 10,000 games.
But what the Twins did last night had never happen in 200k games.
Just amazing that it hadn't already happened on some random day in last 140 years.
Eddie Money with a 10th inning walk off HR tonight.
Stay 2 games up on the Angels.

Baseball was made for statistics. I watched the game last night and TBH it gets boring when you're up 10 in the early innings. Not boring in a bad way...
I felt bad for Ervin, he pitched his ass off and didn't get the win. But he was happy anyway....
Felt bad for Hilgenberger.....one bad pitch otherwise he was pretty tough. Glad his teammates were able to pick him up. Good call by **** predicting the Rosario homer in advance.
Still think the magic number is 85 wins. That means the Twins need to go 9-8 from here on out. Taking 3 out of 4 from Toronto would go a long way towards making that happen.

I think they might need 86-87. Some teams really get it together down the stretch. Could be LA,Texas ect.
Remaining schedule and predictions:
Home vs Toronto X 4 : 3-1
Away vs NYY X 3 : 1-2
Away vs Detroit X 4: 2-2 (I have a feeling this series will have 1 or 2 blown opportunities for wins)
Away vs Cleveland X 3: 1-2
Home vs Detroit X 3: 2-1
I'm guessing we go 9-8, but baseball is funny. We could see sweeps the rest of the way out. We need to take care of Toronto and Detroit, though.
I have a feeling Cleveland loses a game or two to KC and then comes back down to earth by the time we get 'em.

Yea you gotta hope Cleveland starts posturing for the playoffs when we play them. Maybe start a guy or two that won't be in the playoff rotation.
I imagine it will depend on if they have home field locked up by then.
Even with molitor bunting away runs left and right they just keep winning!
Great to see Buck with the walk off. If he hits like he has since the break all year paired with his speed and the best CF defense in the league, he's probably a top 10 player in the league next year.

Jeez, Twins run into the wildcard and score like a hundred runs Saturday and it's crickets in this thread.
It's been a long time since I have really appreciated September baseball. Usually it's looking at guys who may or may not end up on the big roster, and seeing network ads featuring teams that have already punched their ticket to October.
But this year is starting to feel pretty damn good.

Where'd you hear that?
My dream would be to catch the Yankees (3 games back currently) and get to host the playoff game, but one milestone at at time.
The kicker is, its possible if the Twins can sweep or get 2 out of 3 in New York.
