swede700 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Quote Only six games are left on Minnesota's schedule against teams on pace for the playoffs. Including the White Sox this week, the Twins are facing six opponents in the other 26 games with losing records and a combined 70 games under .500 entering play on Tuesday. http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=370829109 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 This is one of those weird things that really shows off how good the Twins offense has been as of late. Three straight games with a batter hitting 2+ HR"s in the game. Started with Buxton hitting three, then Polanco with a 2 HR game and last night Rosario with a 2 HR game. Also, with the best start of his career, or top 3 for sure, Berrios, 7 innings, 0 runs, and 11 K's. Really good start, and then the pen couldn't quite get the shut out done, but having Perkins back in the pen, even with giving up a run, is fun to see.

Klomp Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I turned away when the Sox took the ninth inning lead. Man I love this team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was a lot of fun to watch, I almost stopped watching, but the World Cup Qualifier ended, so I flipped back for the start of the bottom of the 9th, and that was a lot of fun to watch. The White Sox are not a good team at all. August was a really good month, put the Twins are in the right position for the playoffs right now, we'll see if they can keep it up. Also, Buxton, was feared that he was going to be lost for the rest of the year with a broken bone, turns out to just be a bruise, so hopefully he comes back quickly. Also, hopefully Sano does as well. Â Solid win by the Gophers last night, offense still needs work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Twins with a much needed win to end the series in Tampa, even though they kept giving up the lead to get the game tied up again, I think that might have actually been good for them. They lost a couple of close games that they had been winning in August, to get a close or at least a hard fought win taken care of to end the series, hopefully that will help them start winning all their series again.

The Gnat Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Second tough fought win in a row. Hopefully this will help the Twins jump into a number of series wins. Coming back against the Royals pen is not an easy feat, and the Twins did it against their closer. The young hitters have cooled off which is playing a lot into this dropoff, except for Polanco, so we need Mauer and Dozier to continue to hit. Gibson looks like he's turned some sort of corner though, hopefully that is the case going into next year. Having Santana, Berrios, and Gibson pitching solidly well would mean the Twins shouldn't drop off much from this year. Then you can add in Mejia and someone to fill out the rotation, that wouldn't be a bad rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDBrocks Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Gibson has definitely been a serviceable starter since the All Star Break. Glad to see he's found a bit of a groove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
