caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Twins 17-1 when scoring 4+ runs. 4.5 ties biggest division lead of the season. +30 vs. -29 in terms of RS/RA compared to White Sox. No homers in their last five wins or games, something like that. White Sox 2.5 games behind Toronto in WC race with nobody yet between them. Indians 3 back.

caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) Royals in the process of somehow blowing a 6-0 lead in the 8th and 9th to the Twins...tied 6-6, runner on second in the top of 9 with two shots to take the lead for Minny. First homer in almost a week. Edited May 22, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Twins with a Kepler grand slam against a pitcher nobody has heard of with a 12 ERA.l in the bottom of the first. Likely to be 10 games over .500. Btw glad we were smart enough not to go after Javier Baez at least. The defense and base running just can't offset the offensive woes. And we will also see how the Guardians stack up against the Astros in Houston. Likely pretender, but they've been sticking in there for longer than most would have given them credit for.

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Tigers tied it 4-4, what do you know? Former Guardian/Indian Joe Smith gave up his first run of the season for the Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 The Twins continue to pummel bad teams and win seemingly every close game. Eventually they'll go through a rough patch and hopefully the Sox are able to take advantage, but man, they're playing to a 100 win pace right now and look like a very good team.

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Oops didn't check the date because it was right next to a new Anderson article. Well in that case the odds of the Royals still going after Montas and burning prospects in non competitive years are pretty much slim and none. Unless they want another version of Gil Meche, veteran anchor for a young/rebuilding organization. Even then, he had a five year commitment, not such a limited time frame as Montas offers...so they should be looking for more of a Jon Lester who would sign an extension. Tough tough sell.

caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Tigers now 5-15 on the road. Would be the fourth series sweep of the season for the Twins. White Sox, A’s, Royals, Tigers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just missed a bomb in first, barely yanked foul. But Correa and Sanchez really heating up. Celestino a revelation and Kepler wishes all of his games were against Detroit. Finally Arraez .455 obp leads majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
