MLB: ***2026 Minnesota Twins***

Gallo almost redeemed himself of his earlier boneheaded base running with his walk in the 13th. It will be interesting to hear what he thought he was doing getting picked off second.
Nice series win against a good Texa$ team. DK with some clutch pitching.

Grand slams by Royce in back to back games is fun too. WIth Maeda not on his game, the two big flies by Royce and Polanco were enough.
Big win for the Twins.
Heading up to the Tuesday game vs the Guardians. Time to finish them!!!
Win one more game this series and I agree. Don’t want them to win the next 2 and get momentum though
Was at the game last night. Lopez got hit hard, but Cleveland was hitting like a team with nothing to lose and swinging early and often. So I get the sense it's a team that is playing loose like they are all but out of it, and facing a pitcher that absolutely hammers the strike zone.
I've been super down on Kepler the last couple years, but man he is absolutely locked in, especially against righties. You can tell the difference in a guy seeing the ball great and feeling it, regardless of the stats. He was so decisive and every swing, every take looked freaking great.
If Kepler and Lewis are locked in like this they can make some noise vs. LH or RH pitchers.
And man, the Taylor signing was underwhelming to me, but he has been a life saver.

Will very interesting to see if the Twins end up with any of the fire-sale players from the Angels. We’ll see what happens with Giolito.
I didn't see it.
First base was open, so a dropped third strike would apply. I assume Naylor did not run to first, but when does that ball become dead? If the Twins catcher didn't throw to first to force him out, could the run have scored before the Naylor would have been called out?

Duran came out throwing 102+ mph high heat to Naylor to close it. I thought- keep throwing it. And then wild curve to blow the save.…
Guardians pick up 3 of the Angel's waivers. We gave them a lifeline by losing 2 of 3, now they are preparing to make a run. If they come back and win the division, we need to clean house with FO and Rocco
