MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

[FDWxMan]

It’s not unreasonable. But I think it’s unlikely. I think it’s more than likely he’s done in CF forever though.

It's just odd that they immediately mentioned "Patella Tendon," kinda like they already know something.

I mean, normally you just say "knee soreness". Calling out specific ligaments or tendons immediately usually is not a good sign.

And that's s surgery that puts him out until at least the start of 2025, is it not?

I know that's jumping to s lot of conclusions, but this just seems kinda fishy. Like they had already found something with the tendon, kept it quiet while they tried rest and rehab, and, uh oh.

It's just tendonitis most likely. Could just go away. Pretty common.

His knees are crap. I don’t think they will ever get better. Not a knock on him. I think it’s just the reality.

Big series this week. Off to a good start so far--18-1 in the 7th. Wish they could save some of the runs for the rest of the week.

Royce Lewis is not human.

Royce shatters the all time MLB record for the fastest number of games with four grand slams.
By 76 games! Unreal.

Only thing keeping Royce from becoming a perennial All-Star is injuries. Special talent that just needs to stay on the field.

Win the series vs. Cleveland = still need to grind but likely going to make the playoffs
Sweep Cleveland = can start thinking about playoff rosters/getting rotations set
Lose the next 2 to Cleveland = nutcup time

He’s a gift from the baseball gods.

Have to admit it was nice seeing them beat the snot out of Giolito and Cleveland's attempt to win the division with waiver wire players.

Not gonna remove my nutcup yet because I've been a fan of Minnesota sports teams for too long but I think we can start breathing a little easier, boys.

 

[cytor]

We have an 18 game playoff losing streak. Keep the nut cup in place.

Yup, ‘season high seven game lead’ in September has a nice ring to it.

After beating Cleveland tonight I think it’s pretty safe to say the Twins will win the division. Time to start counting down their magic number… 17. I’d also add that Cleveland’s remaining schedule is harder than Minnesota’s.

I wish Gray would have gotten the win tonight. He can’t seem to buy a win this year despite holding the ERA lead (entering today).

Yep agreed. Win or lose tonight they took care of biz on the road.

Going back to the Allstar break I felt pretty good as the Twins had gotten almost all of their difficult road trips out of the way. Crazy that I think this roster is probably the one to finally break the no playoff win streak. Even if we don't win the series I think they get one.

13 is the second longest ever....yikes.

I saw loss "16" against the Yankees. Was an electric atmosphere. However I'm pretty sure Twins had bases loaded no outs and no runs...so yeah.

 

[Marcelason78]

At least the Twins won today. Glad to see Kepler swing the bat and having fun again.

….and Cleveland loses again, Magic number down to 13.
