I am hoping that the Twins keep the division lead but I think that injuries and pitching will be the undoing of this team for the division to the Indians. Hard to say this a month ago but I believe the Twins will be in 2nd place in the division by the end of July. Hope not.
Going to be a wet wet field tonight. Going to pretty much rain all day here. Already laid down another inch of rain but at least it won't be oppressively hot.
Edit: looks like it going to stop rain by 1:00 so time to dry out a little bit. Only 63 degrees outside!

If you believe rumor reports, Tigers asked the Yankees for Gleyber Torres for Boyd.
Yanks aren't parting with Torres but that will let you maybe know how much they are asking for Boyd. And it might cost the Twins that much to get him from a division rival. If they stick to asking that much than Boyd isn't going anywhere.

With as many teams like SF in the wild card
hunt, who think they need to hold on, it is really helping Detroit. If the true sellers want major league starters, the Twins will only be wishful buyers. Maybe that's all Falvey is anyway.
Man we needed this one. Kep comes up big again!
Nice come back in spite of May looking bad again. Twins have unloaded three relievers in the last week so they need May and Littell to hold their own. Hope the deal is sweet enough to land the Tiger's Greene.
Still pissed we blew Saturday night but salvaged yesterday which is nice. Need to go on a run. The Indians aren't going away.
Goes without saying how big this series is with NYY this week. Gotta get 2 out of 3.
Couple of things:
1) Great season so far and the Twins have exceeded expectations.
2) Buxton needs to play smarter. He is too valuable to the Twins to take chances as he gets hurt easily. Example this last time he dove for the ball and got hurt the Twins were up six runs in the late innings of the game. Needs to know when to be physically smarter with his body.
3) Sano needs to learn how to hit a curve ball, or at least be patient at the plate.

3) Sano leads the team in walk rate. When he was struggling earlier in the season, he was whiffing on good fastballs.
That would be great, but the Yankee$ are a better team than the Twins right now. Hope the Bombas heat up and we can take at least one.
The team and the crowd really seemed to feed off of Thorpe's emotion and intensity last night.
I'll take a Mitch Garver at-bat at any time during a game. He doesn't have many bad at-bats.

Seemed like the entire lineup went into a funk there for about 2-3 weeks. At least Kepler and Polanco have started to hit again. Arraez needs to play every day, probably at second base. Schoop will have to be utility and DH. And I'm getting tired of Sano trying to figure it out, because he sure doesn't look like he ever will.
Trevor May is a heartbreaker......just when I think he's going to start a scoreless inning streak, WHAM.
But if we can win again tonight, I'll feel a lot better.
