MLB: 2015 Minnesota Twins thread

Twins are in the lead! Twins are in the lead!

bases loaded for Hunter. 2 outs. Why is it always bases loaded with two outs?

edit... and hunter strikes out. the experiment isn't working.

facepalm...why anyone would give him anything in the strike zone is beyond me

Yeah. Despite what management says, the Hunter signing was strictly a shot at playing to fan nostalgia and not at all about making the team better.

You don't add a nearly-40 year-old, poorly rated defender to one of the worst OF defenses in the game to get "better."

not sure if twins good now or white sox that bad.

Answer: Twins are bad.

"It's opening day and we're facing the Royals" used to have a different level of enthusiasm for me.

I thought Twins maybe turned a corner after winning the first game against the sox handily and jumping out to a 4-0 lead. Oh how I was tricked.

This team blows. Overachieving for them would be 70 wins.

The downturn started exactly when Mauer got his big contract. Too bad no one will take him now.

You know things are bad when it is a week into the season and you are already 2.5 games behind the Cubs.

Boom. Fire Molitor

So, we doing this again next year? Same time, same place?

Good job everyone. See you in '16.

Two in a row! The Royals woke up a sleeping midget

Hot damn they're on fire! Don't want to jinx it but they could find themselves in the middle of a win streak if they're not careful.

Indians are in town this weekend.. Winnable series.. However, its the twins.. Theyll probabley stay within 8-10 games in the central through memorial day.. Then the bottom will.fall out...

.....
At some point, Twins need to move on from Mauer and use his salary to bolster young guys and young talent.

Boston fans are already starting to lick their chops. They seem to think "Say It Ain't So Joe" will be in a Red Sox uniform next year.

 

[mj4cy]

Won 4 out of the last 5. Much better, but probably fool's gold. Like I said, I'd be surprised if they get to 70 wins this year.

Crossing the streams here with the Santana suspension thread, but fits better here.
Milone was just sent to AAA so they can activate Nolasco...what do I win?

Nice to see them playing better after the horrible start. Would've been nice had they not given away the Wednesday game to Detroit so they could be over .500 now.

Milone produced better than preplacement level in Oakland.

Yes. In Oakland. Nowhere else.

Unless the Twins are moving into Oakland Coliseum, he's worthless.

No way he's still in rotation, or in it with a sub-5 ERA through All-Star break.

Credit where credit is due. Never thought they would sniff .500. Chance to go above with Pelfrey today.

Agreed. I take back my snarky comments from the first week. This team has shown some fight.

Grab some bench Sox.
