Twins 2023 Thread

If Gallo can hit around .230 and hit 35 bombs and drive in 80-100 it’s a huge win for the Twins. 4-0 Joe Ryan against Nestor the Molester tonight.

The Twins can actually beat the Yankees and that is glorious.

OMG

This Solano character is hot garbage.

Why do you say that?

Another night I can’t find the game. Wild and Puppies on Bally again.

He should have had 2 errors in the 5th, tagged with only one.

Single handily let the Yanks tie it up when he missed the double play relay throw that was right in his glove..

Well he’s one of our better hitters and has been most of the offense tonight so not too worried about it.

Oh man, Buxton and now Larnach go deep!

Man is it nice to watch good starting pitching for a change or what????

I know right! Ryan 5-0

4 plus 1 would be 5-0 if they hang on.

Lay off of Joe….He’s a little woozy from the Wild game tonight…….

Great win tonight. Lopez out of the bullpen looks like he’s back to his All Star form from last year too. That’s been a huge boost to the pen.

lol, fixed it

Starting pitching has been lights out. Back to back 7 inning outings against the NYY. That was absolutely unheard of all of last year. 14-10 record, first place, and Correa and Buxton haven’t really hit their stride yet!!

Last year? The last 20 years.

Twins claim a season series win against the Yanks for the first time since…………2001!!!!!! My god.

Never thought I would see it again! This pitching staff is really pretty good. Ryan is a stud!

22 years we have waited for a series win against the Yanks! Hopefully we can stay healthy and get our offense going as are pitching can compete in the big leagues this year.

Haven’t swept the Yankees in MN since 1991.

Gonna be huge if Polanco and Kiriloff stay healthy, I think at this point that’s a difference between being a .500 team and a legit contender. Obviously assuming our rotation doesn’t get the injury bug. A reliever to take Moran and/or Pagan’s place would be nice too. Would like to see us extend Gray, just like the mentality he brings. He’ll be 34 after the season though so wonder how they’ll approach that one.

The dominance over the Yankees didn’t last long. 11-3 in the 4th. Upside is Miranda has 2 homeruns.

I think we may see Maeda go to the IL and Ober come up for awhile.

Buxton is starting to heat up!

Why did Rocco take Mahle out?

Larnach looks like the real deal..

I think he might be having arm fatigue again. He went from throwing 93-94 in the first 3 innings to 87-89 in the fourth. Not good.

If he ever learns to hit anything but a fastball he will be.

He smoked a curve ball to right last night

That’s good. Hopefully he is starting to adapt because no one is throwing him fastballs anymore and he was struggling for a few weeks.

Taylor bunt safety RBI double.

Gallo is perfecting the dip & drive.

These Royals are horrendous.
