****OFFICIAL 2020 MINNESOTA TWINS THREAD****

Agreed. And the two potential teams in the second round set up nicely as well. Much rather have the As or Sox than Cleveland, Tampa or the damn Yankees.
Yeah, I love how this set up. Couldn’t really ask for the bracket to set up any better. You never know what’s going to happen in a short series, but it sets up for a good shot at the ALCS.
 
Heard on the radio on my drive this morning that the Twins are something like 27-8 at home and the Astros are 9-23 on the road. Numbers might not be exact but you get the idea.

Honestly, we really should be able to beat the Astricks without Bux. But I can let myself get really excited about what’s possible if he’s playing and playing like he was before he got ear holed.
 
Why are so many of these playoff games during the middle of the day when everyone is working? I would love to watch but will probably miss the whole series. I would understand if they were in a bubble and only had one field to play on but the first round is in home stadiums. It’s like the MLB doesn’t want us to watch their product.

Like our chances is the playoffs. We finally have pitching which could carry us. Maeda is tough, Berrios is coming on (if he can close two strike counts),Big Mike has been good, and Hill can be excellent. We have the best middle relievers in a long time. Too bad we don't have last year's lights out version of Rogers. We'll need Romo to step up.

I feel so much better about facing Greinke having beat Cleavanger, Giolito, Bieber and Darvish this year. This could be special.
 
Hopefully it’s Donaldson that isn’t ready. I think Bux is more important for us. Especially if he’s swinging like he was before he got hit:
Furthermore, even if Bux is only cleared to pinch run, that is huge for us.
 
It is going to be so weird watching/listening to a playoff game at 1pm. Kind of feels like March Madness.
 
Ouch - Rosario crushes a line drive with bases loaded right at somebody and they leave them loaded. A bunch of really good at bats, which is encouraging, but hopefully it pays off.
 
Kepler could probably bunt for a double if he could put one down the third base line.

But I'll take the walk.
