MLB: 2017 Minnesota Twins Thread
- Thread starter mj4cy
- Start date
I'll take it! Not going to get shut out all season. Check that one off the list.
I've seen enough today to state that the Minnesota Twins are this years World Series frontrunners.
This must not be your 2015 Royals bullpen (at least for one weekend) because the Twins just put up 6 in the 7th inning. Triple by Sano and dinger by Escobar. Two nice bats for this lineup.
Long ways to go but I've enjoyed the Twins 2 more games this year already than all of last year.

Things heard in my office today:
"Don't worry guys. You won't have to face this quality of pitching all year long."
"At least there is only one 7th inning in a game."
"Look on the bright side. You'll have more time to watch the Chiefs play in October now."
"Would you shut the **** up already."
I may have said three of those.

Not sure what this is, that is happening in downtown Minneapolis currently, but I'm not mad about it.
Going to disagree with you here (I'm also a KC fan). The bullpen is going to be very shaky this year, and I think the bats will come around. Outside of Herrera, there isn't a lot proven in the pen. Strahm was really good last year, but has gotten shelled so far. There are plenty of hitters in the lineup who have proven capable of having big games.
I'd have to agree. I always associated the Royals of the past few years, with baserunners. There have been few and far between in these first couple games for you guys. But if I were you I wouldn't be too worried just yet. Now if they start like the Twins last year....
Having been in KC since 1996, the Royals are the team I root for when my Twins struggle. I've been to the K a ton.
I think the Royals offense gets going. There are too many good bats in the lineup to stay this cold for long. The pitching is concerning though. It has not looked very good yet. Losing Ventura was crushing on many levels. And Soria hasn't evened darkened the mound yet.
BTW, Cy's Day at the K is against the Twins this year for fans of both teams!

Anything can happen. I went with 100:1 odds in '91 in Vegas and that turned out OK.
Not saying this would happen but when the Twins played the Braves in the WS 25+ years ago, each time had the worst record in their league the year before.
Although the 2-0 start does have me a little excited, I am a bit of a realist. Therefore, being that the Twins best pitching prospects aren't even on the team yet, I'm predicting that they won't lose a game until about 2025.
Two games into the season and Sid Hartman's headline today is "Sano's Adjustments Paying Off". Then proclaiming him the hottest hitter in the AL. Sid, baby, he is 2 for 6. Not a bad start, better than 1-6 or 0-6 but it's two games, man.
