If the standings stay as they are right now, then the Twins would get the Yankees in the playoffs yet again.

Against non-White Sox opponents the Tigers are 19-17 and the Royals are 19-19.

Last six games he has a 1:1 BB/K ratio at 7.7% each. This is a very arbitrary cutoff but just want to do a quick comparison: 7/24-8/23 36.4 K% 48.0% O-Swing% 55.6% Contact % 26.7% Swinging Strike% 39.8% O-Contact% 8/25-8/31 7.7 K% 41% O-Swing% 13.7% Swinging Strike% 76.3% Contact% 76% O-Contact% He's been making a ton of more contact lately and though his chase rate is still high it looks like he's making a big improvement there. He was already killing it with a 55% contact rate so if he can maintain 70% going forward he's going to have video game numbers.

Twins were swept twice by those same bums.

I know gamethreads are typically known for being hot take central but yeesh tonight has been something else.

Currently at .368, high but not crazy high where you expect an enormous regression.

Ah right, I was only looking at the players listed as RF.

Who though? The FA options all suck unless Castellanos opts out.

Damn so much for my theory

The last two games were close in the late innings and today is as well. For Hader not to come in once the last three days seems fishy. And yes they've had 4 games postponed but 2 innings in 9 games?

Hader has only pitched 2 innings for the season, is he hurt?

Went from 1-4 to the 3rd best record in the AL real quick!

Moncada hasn't looked comfortable the entire season so far and he's still killing it.

Foster's high fastball looks really good.
