the 2015 minnesota twins: indeed they are a team

@RhettBollinger
Chris Sale has a 6.85 ERA in four starts vs. the Twins (18 ER in 23 2/3 IP) but a 1.88 ERA vs. everybody else (71 2/3 IP, 15 ER).

@cmccosky
The Tigers are having in big fun making fun of Torii Hunter's angry strip tease when he got tossed from a game last month.

@cmccosky
Sanchez, V-Mart, Price, they were all in on trying to recreate that hilarious scene as Hunter was trying to take BP. He fell out laughing

Jepsen w/ a gasoline job tonight in pivotal game

Sano just tied the game with a 2-run bomb, which raises the question

http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/just-a-bit-outside/story/miguel-sano-minnesota-twins-case-for-designated-hitter-to-win-rookie-of-the-year-091815

this shouldn't matter, but in my mind it kind of does -- sano is *capable* of playing the field, he simply doesn't because of the construction of the twins roster. had they traded for david ortiz at the deadline, sano would go play third and it wouldn't be a big deal.

at any rate, correa and lindor are doing a significant portion of what sano is at the plate while also playing strong and outlandish, respectively, major league shortstop. even if you give sano imaginary credit for playing 3B or 1B -- or for facing better pitchers -- i don't think he catches them

that old hater

shd have their own unique-year thread for posterity

tho PECOTA sez they will be about .500 henceforth

Minnesota entered the season with a promising trio of outfielders, but each of Rosario, Buxton and Sano has struggled tremendously this season. Buxton has struck out in half of his plate appearances, whereas Sano is at 43 percent and Rosario has punched out in 36 percent of his trips to the plate.

Max is an up and coming star player for the Minnesota Twins with a wonderful future and best of all, he is a good person.

26 XBH against CLE in the first three of a four-game series.

Already the most XBH CLE has ever surrendered in a four-game series.

Scores of games: 12-5, 10-6, 13-5.

miguel sano's first 162 games:

.260/.364/.509, 37 HR, 101 RBI, 96 BB, 242 K

That seems like a lot.

Just when you thought the Braves had a lock on the worst team in baseball, the Twins lose 11 straight are now back in the hunt.

brian dozier since the all star break (48 games):
