  1. Dear Josh, I feel like I can call you Josh because you and me are so alike. I’d like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you but I think you’d be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have no been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real home run

  2. Again not the greatest offensive performance but there were chances. So many double plays even without Correa hitting into another.

  3. As a newer baseball fan, I have a question for the long-time fans: do you see a starting pitcher just fall off a cliff like this much? What is there to be done about it?

  4. Joe Ryan was never going to be that good forever. He’s slightly above average. That’s all he is

  5. Think I’m going to take a break for a while. Even when we win, it’s not fun to watch this team.

  6. Spencer Steer would be leading this team in BA, RBIs and would be 2nd in HRs. Just saying.

  7. If we had scored more runs or allowed fewer runs, the result might have been different

  8. Meh… 8 days ago the Twins had a 2 game lead.

    Then lost 6 of 7.

    Today the Twins have a 2 game lead.
