With the two losses that they have, I think this is set up to be a good team, and you’re looking at the possibility they could win 50 games. Because with the bomba squad, the Twins are never far away from overtaking lowly teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates, who just swept two games at home. Now, they have to walk into the Pirate’s plank and see if they can do the same thing they did in Minneapolis. Alex Avila hit his first home run earlier in the week, and if the veteran wants to hurt his daddy’s team, he will. You never know what you’re going to get with Minnesota. They can easily wipe you away with bombas from Josh Donaldson and Nelson Cruz. If Nellie is in the mood to do damage to opposing pitchers, then I would suggest the pitchers need to work on the art of pitching, especially when the Twins play the Tigers, because if Tiger pitching leaves a cookie out over the plate, it’s bye-bye baseball! The Twins are clearly the team to beat in the AL Central. The Indians have no hope of winning if the Twins continue to stay hot. Mad Max continues to make this reporter take notice when he steps to the plate. The reason why Cory and Dan will stay at Target Field is so the Twins can limit the number of people on their charter plane. The Twins do not want to draw the ire of Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred. If they do, their season could be in jeopardy. That’s why Rocco Baldelli is taking control of the Minnesota Twins and checking them every day before they step on the field.
In other news, there was something that Gladden and Provus had never seen at the ballpark. A drone interrupted yesterday’s game, and the Twins were still able to outlast the Pirates 7-3. Alex was behind the plate yesterday, so I expect Mitch Garver to get the assignment today and be able to pour Garv Sauce on the Pirates.
