Two sweeps at home 

Two 2/3 at Target

That’ll do 

The 2 losses were real winnable too. It feels so good to dominate the Twins after sucking against them for so long.

Just keep collecting W's.

Only thing that matters at this point is making the playoffs. Whole new ballgame once that happens and hopefully (?)Eloy, Robert, Grandal are back, along with some reinforcements to really make them a force. 

Just keep the W's coming.

.500 from this point on gets them 89-73, that's probably good enough to take the division.  Just gotta hang on, as you said, until the cavalry shows up in September.

I'd be shocked if that doesn't win them the division. Obviously would love for them to play better than .500 ball for the rest of the season......but to your point....they may not have to. 

Here is the other thing people need to remember but of course won't because we have no emotional control. Things are probably going to get rough after the ASB for the Sox. They have a stretch in August where it's Yankees, A's, Rays, Blue Jays, Cubs. Obviously the Cubs will have sold by then, but those games are always weird. They probably won't have a great record in that stretch, and fans will freak out. 

But again.....it really doesn't matter. As long as the pitching stays healthy and these guys are ready for October (Rodon, Kopech, Crochet especially).....if Eloy-Robert-Grandal can actually come back for the playoffs.......it's a whole different team. 

Just get there.

Anderson 4/4 , double BB, RBI

Goodwin 2/5 double, RBI

Engel 2/4 2 doubles  ,SB

Garcia 34/ Triple, HR, 3 RBI

Burger 2/4 , double , RBI

Hamilton 2/4 double

Every Sox player listed who had a minimum of 2 hits had a double , except Leury who had a triple and a HR. Somebody loan Leury a double so he can have the Cycle.

Big Bastard continues to impress with 6 innings of 1 run ball. Struggled with command a bit but the ump wasn't doing him any favors.

This post from the Twins' reddit board has become a meme on the overall baseball reddit and it feels like it needs to come here in lieu of looking at that stat.

They're still an excellent team who is going to give us a run for the division.

That said, the pundits calling them the best team in the AL (or whatever) were dumb. The White Sox may be two-time defending offseason champs, but they are still very limited. They have really incredible headline players; Giolito, Abreu, Anderson, Robert, but their depth behind them is super shallow. The Eloy Jiménez injury is already a good illustration of this.

There's a reason why the Yankees are always so good and why the Twins have won the division for two straight years despite constant injuries to key players, and it's depth. If he gets a run of injuries, is Tony La Russa going to be able to patch together a winner the way Aaron Boone or Rocco Baldelli did in 2019? I'm skeptical.

(Also, lost in the hype of the Hendriks signing is the fact that they spend $54 million on a relief pitcher. That's just dumb, no matter how good the guy is. Guaranteed the Twins will have a reliever with similar stats to Hendriks who will make a fraction of what he's making. The Twins bullpen is better overall.)

My fav analyst

People need to stop thinking that just cause young hitters can hit straight 4 seam fastballs that they can hit sinkers and cutters from one of the best pitchers in the AL. It's just silly.
