  1. Twins probably feel pretty good coming into this game with a fully-stocked bullpen. I’ll take a solid 5-n’-fly from SWR.

  2. Part of me thinks we’re not ready for a WS run this year so we should stand pat or do cheap rentals and keep our farm in tact.

    The other part of me thinks FUCK THEM KIDS. Lets get Vladdy and Miller and Skubal and win the WS

  4. Bobby Witt Jr’s home and road splits

    Home(53 games): .411/.465/.743, 1.208 OPS, 231 OPS+

    Road(48 games): .270/.304/.440, .744 OPS, 112 OPS+

    Their whole team is essentially like this with very wide home/road gaps in production. What is going on at Kauffman?

  5. Fun win yesterday but it’s time to put it behind us. Let’s hope we can get healthy soon and make a few trades for a playoff push

  7. Having a hard time deciding which recent Twitter takes are most ridiculous. Current frontrunners are “it’s time to end the Margot leadoff hitter experiment” (he’s hitting like .340 as a leadoff guy this season) and “the Twins not having a rigid home uniform schedule pushes potential fans away”

  8. Cole Sands hit 97.8 to strike out Schwarber last night. Prior to this year, he had never thrown a pitch 96 mph or faster.

  9. Anyone have a favorite Detroit style pizza joint around Comerica? Will be in town this weekend for the series against the Tigers, hoping to come home a few lbs heavier.

  10. Good: going with a friend I haven’t seen for years
    Bad: they’re a Phillies fan

  11. I know we’re all focused on the Gourds but Kansas City has caught back up with the Twins and Detroit as been on a run of its own against winning teams. Is the Central actually good this year?

  12. Let’s go Twins, let’s go Tigers*, and let’s go Diamondbacks.

    *Valid through Thursday 7/25 ONLY.

  13. The internet attempted to kill off Jimmy Carter today. Is this good or bad for betting a Nick Castellanos HR prop?
