Scoring slowed after, but Twins win. Twins win, twins win.

Homer Bailey even gets the W.

He doesn't give me a lot of confidence when he pitches.

Kinda reminds me of Kyle Gibson in that regard.

But a good win Solomon... I get the feeling these twins are going to score a lot of runs, you kind of wait for them to explode,...

I always felt twins pitching has been there a Archile’s heal... but they don’t have the mega star pitchers like the Yankees or a Dodgers, imo, but are pitching well.that should be goof enough if this team scores like I believe they can..

Been watching cubs, starters been looking great til last night... then they turn it over to the Bull pen and they give up tons of runs.

Preseason talk was there bull pen might be improved over last year, They better score ten runs for the starting pitcher, or he better pitch a shut out.

No one forced me to click on this thread, anyway....BASEBALL BLOWS CHUNKS, at best. carry on.... I am just a pissy little bitch lately ignore me...

5 shut out innings from the 40 year old Hill last night and

the BP finished off the shut out.  Nice win 3 - 0.

I don’t get to see many games normally. I am assuming MLB network is doing there freebie week. So tonight start watching cubs at 6 pm, bounce between cubs and twins between innings. After cubs key on twins. Will make the best game between two primary. Like last night cubs down 9-0:;Keyed on twins,

Still not sure who I would cheer for if the two played in World Series, figure the odds off both at one time

Twins owned last night, but never really out of it, one  bad pitch by Berrios, total dominance by Indians pitcher. I think he has like 20 strike outs his two games,

Twins have a ton of  power. But one who impresses me is Arias sp?...IMO, He always seems to make some contact with ball. I watch the cubs they brag about Baez. But he swings and misses so often,,Just when he makes contact, But he doesn’t meet the ball as consistently as Arias.

Bieber had the Twins number last night.  

Luis Arraez.  I had to double check it myself.

You are correct the Twins have a ton of power but maybe rely on it to much instead of

being able to manufacture a run or 2 when needed.

Another good win last night.... starter did well, but didn’t impress me, but he can do that all day not giving up any runs.but he didn’t give up any extra base hits if I am not mistaken, a win over Cleveland is big,

There starter clevinger threw like 36 pitches first inning, but lasted 5-6 innings, his era coming in was a little over 2. Coming in, but tats just one good game.

rhey we’re talking last night that Arraez could be the type of hitter to bat 400. Said he probably wouldn’t,   High praise imo.,

K. Maeda h owned it last night. Looked every bit as good as Bieber did the other night for the Indians, unfortunately took him out because of pitches in 7th I believe,..

Was perfect til then except for one scribbler hit that was challenged at first,..so close,

Bull pen looked good. Rogers lights out Indians

I said I wasn’t impressed with the twins pitcher the night before. His stats were good. But even he said it came hard

Who thought Maeda would be better at this point in the season than Berrios? Took a no hitter into the 9th vs. Brewers tonight.

And the bullpen threw away his win.


twins win in 12 innings after leading 3-0 going into 9. Meads gives up a blooping blooper base hit. They understandably take him out with 115 pitches.

They used to be my baseball team but I walked away in 1994. But at least they won a couple Championships. Makes the decision to quit the Vikings who have won nothing in 60 years.
