the Twins need to sign Gerrit Cole, find another bullpen piece, and hope that Berrios rebounds. All that needs to go right before seriously considering them against the big boys.
Yup. This pitching staff is horrendous.none of this is Baldelli's fault IMO, their roster is just too lacking.
I was wrong. Its like McGregor fighting a baby who can barely take baby steps. It doesn't matter if the Twins can get a few more - the Yankees bullpen is likely to win the battle.Baby steps ... they had a lead in game 1 for a moment or two
just force a Game 5 somehow and I’ll be happythe only hope MIN has is that Severino sucks again like last ALDS game 3 and they get some momentum on offense to just out-clobber them. but it just feels impossible to do that three games in a row.
they'll be lucky to force a Game 3just force a Game 5 somehow and I’ll be happy
Ha, which 100-win teams would be the contenders for that "coveted" title?The Twins aren't going to get annihilated because of some mystique and aura the Yankees hold over them. They're going to get annihilated because they have probably the worst pitching staff of any team that's ever won 100 games.
The 2004 Yankees are in there, Mussina and freaking Jon Lieber as their #2 SP. They won 101 games and had a great offense, but their Pythagorean record was just 89-73.Ha, which 100-win teams would be the contenders for that "coveted" title?
Plus he’s been dead for like a decade.Carl Pohlad has a larger net worth than John Henry, and his team starts an Uber driver in a playoff game. One of the cheapest owners in sports.
Should have contracted them when MLB had the chance.The Twins should move back to Washington and call themselves the Generals.
His cheapness transcends this world.Plus he’s been dead for like a decade.
If the Yankees are the Gashouse Gorillas, are the Astros Bugs Bunny?What an embarrassment; there's not a Gashouse Gorilla fan on the planet who thought "Oh no, not the Twins in the first round", they are to the Gashouse Gorillas what the Washington Generals are to the Harlem Globetrotters.
If ever there was a fraud 101 win team, this one is it.
But now they have them where they want them . The Yankees are overconfident.Today makes 2-15 in the playoffs since 2003? GJGE
I sure as shit hope so, it's actually IMO our last hope for someone to beat these assholes.If the Yankees are the Gashouse Gorillas, are the Astros Bugs Bunny?

Going to agree with this and say they’re the best example. Two 100+ win teams have had a team ERA+ of sub 100: 2017 Astros at 99, 2004 Yankees at 96.The 2004 Yankees are in there, Mussina and freaking Jon Lieber as their #2 SP. They won 101 games and had a great offense, but their Pythagorean record was just 89-73.
It will be if they lose. It would be their 16th straight postseason lossI’ve never seen anything like this. Maybe older fans have, but this is historic ineptitude.
