Twins keep losing but at least we have the Josh Donaldson show.
Now Ozzie is getting into the act, but like Giolito, no denial that he cheated in the past or that his spin rate is down 200 for some reason.

JD is kind of being a tool but he’s not wrong. He’s calling out a cheater that directly impacts his game. I’m ok with it. Ozzie getting himself involved is just dumb. JD putting him in his place is pretty funny to me.

Too bad there are only about four teams who would be interested in Cruz. He's having another good year and the most obvious player on the block, followed by Simmons and Pineda.

Getting rid of Donaldson would be really nice salarywise if they could find a taker.

I appreciate the twins being a slump buster for the Royals. Sorry.

Hope the Twins look respectable tonight on national TV. It will be all about the the Sox on the ESPN call, but maybe some of the young Twins can give them something to talk about.

First pitch @ 6:10.

Games like last nights are why this team is so maddening. They suck. But I refuse to believe they aren’t better than their record.

Like they said last night-- the young core is there. I'm hoping they keep Berrios, Rogers, and Pineda. Get more pitching by trading Cruz and Simmons.
Maybe the Mets bite on Donaldson. For more pitching.

I think they trade Max actually, but it might not be till after the season.

With the young OFers in their system, you might be right.
I was surprised to see the Twins take so many pitchers in the draft. The high school flame thrower in the first and then a slew of college arms.
