MLB: 2015 Minnesota Twins thread

This game is just full of pitchers who shouldn't be on the team next year!

Yep. Berrios will be one the club next year and hopefully he'll pan out. What do they do with Ricky and Pelfrey? Duensing and a few other in the pen I assume will be gone.
 
Step 1 complete. 3 out of 4 is great.
 
We are relying on the fact that the Twins are going to basically sweep the Royals this weekend for a shot at the playoffs?

Royals will be playing hard to get the best record in the AL. It won't be easy to sweep them.
 
I'm not saying it'll be easy at all. I'm just saying it's okay to be excited after tonight especially if the Angels lose.
 
Good luck Twins. Would love to be able to cheer for you and the Cubs in the Wild Card games.
 
What happens if the Astros, Twins, and Angels all tie?

Teams get A, B, and C designations. The team with the best head to head record gets to chose what they'd like. A vs B, then winner of A/B vs C. The A designation would get two home games. B only gets a home game if they advance to play C. C has the advantage of only one game but it'll be on the road.

Angels get first pick(best head to head), then Astros, then Twins. In such a scenario I don't see how the Twins wouldn't end up with the B designation as it clearly has a worst draw(two wins to get to the actual wild card game as well as a game on the road).

Everything I've read has the Twins with the tiebreaker over the Astros.

In a three way tie, the Twins wold host Houston, then host the Angels if they win.

Also, see MJs link above, also supports two home games for MN.
 
Guys - take a moment - and think the Twins are actually in playoff discussion!
