MLB: 2018 Minnesota Twins Thread

Twins up 8-4 in the 5th on the Astros. A win today would be a series win against one of the best teams in the league. Lots of games in a season, but that's a nice little resume bump for morale.
Also, Mauer hitting .414 right now. Obviously that will drop, but that's huge if we could get the Mauer of old this season.

He's never gonna be the Joe Mauer we all want him to be again, but he looks to be in great form and even a large fraction of the input of his best year is a huge bump for this club.
when he left the catcher spot he lost his touch. he's still a great player but not seeing the pitches on the defensive side affected his eye at the plate.
If he can hang around hitting 300 and play a lot of games at 1st when not being a DH, I'll sign up for that. Also, he's probably not bad to have around for the younger guys.
HUGE!!!!
Sounds silly, but blowing an 8-1 lead like that can mess with the team and can sometimes be a turning point.
Way to pull it out.

video of the walkoff. Wish the crowd was better, but you take the outcome.

Really would like to see the Twins work out an extension with Max before the end of the year. He'll be solid player for years.
Joe gets his 2000th hit and Berrios throws eight shutout inning gem in a nice win against the Sox tonight.
I was a little surpised to hear Steve Stone say he thought Berrios has a shot at the Cy Young this year.

Congrats to Joe on career hit 2,000! One of the most unfairly scrutinized players of all time. Truly one of the best to ever play catcher at his peak.
I was having a discussion with my buddy the other day about Joe’s Hall of Fame candidacy. I think if he can get to 2,500 hits he’s got a good shot. He’s only 34, hit well last year and is raking this year so far, so I don’t think that’s unrealistic. His peak was one of the best stretches ever for a catcher.

Or you know the multiple concussions and blurred vision did that: https://www.si.com/mlb/2016/02/12/joe-mauer-concussion-blurred-vision-problems-minnesota-twins
I watched it all- 5 hours 13 minutes. When Cle walked the bases loaded with no outs that sealed the deal.
