Buxton
Byron Buxton's toe is healed but the Twins are keeping him on his AAA assignment a bit longer. We're scheduled to face 4 right-handers in a row the next 4 games, and Buxton couldn't hit them if his life depended on it.
He'll come up when lefties are scheduled.
I think...

Twins Clobbered, Escobar Plunked
They were only down 2-0 early.
9-2 was the final. Escobar getting hit by a pitch in the first certainly didn't make things easier.

Kepler!
The Twins beat another top pitcher last night with power added from Kepler and Grossman.
The biggest problem? Cleveland has 4 straight wins. We're still 5 1/2 games back.
little sigh
Our starting pitching has been good as of late. Cleveland has got to start losing. We are not in a strong division. I seriously doubt a wild-card team is coming from the A.L. Central this year...

Escobar! Berrios!
Chris Sale is Boston's best.
Berrios matched him last night. And Escobar's bat game to life, late leading the Twins to a 6-2 win over the Sox!
WOOO!
Go Twins!

Twins Lose
It doesn't bother me that we lost, but Cleveland just brought their pitcher up from the minors, and we only scored ONE RUN.
sigh
5 games back again.

Rosario!
Four hits, all on the first pitch.
Twins club Cleveland two games in a row. They go for the series sweep this afternoon.
Sadly, the Sleepy Eye boys lost in the championship yesterday. The golf team? They WON the state title this week. A good year for Sleepy Eye sports.

Twins Clobber Kluber
Clubbing Kluber is not a common experience, but the Twins clubbed Kluber like a baby seal last night, embarrassing the A.L. Cy Young winner. The Twins are 5 back again. Gibson, despite his win total, has been pitching great for the Twins. Last night they finally gave him some run support.
In other baseball news, the Sleepy Eye Indians are in the state final today after having pitched a no-hitter and a two-hitter in the first two games of the tournament.
Go Sleepy Eye!!!
You can see highlights at KEYC.com if you wish.

Adrianza!
The Twins didn't do much offensively last night, but what they did do left its mark.
Adrianza hit a grand slam. The rest of the Twins offense got another couple runs and the Twins went on to win 6-4.
The Tigers lost the game and Miguel Cabrera last night. Miguel ruptured his left biceps tendon and will be out the rest of the season.
With Cleveland losing, the Twins find themselves alone in second place, 5 games out.

Twins Win
The ending was a little sketchy, but they held on to win 7-5. Escobar leads the majors with 26 doubles!
5 1/2 games back in third.

2-1
sigh
Our pitching is great, but our hitting is poor. That seems to be the story league-wide. These types of games determine the winners versus the also-rans.

Justify
Though I still think horse racing is way too dangerous to the animals involved (literally thousands of deaths every single year world-wide), I have to acknowledge the horses that perform exceptionally.
Justify won the Triple Crown yesterday with a wire to wire race. An amazing animal. American Pharoah did it in 2015. Before that, you have to go back 40 years or so.
I just wish that so many horse didn't have to break their legs and be put down for this "sport" to be successful.

Twins Lose Late, Warriors Squash the Cavs
For the first time in many years, I decided to watch most of the NBA's last game of the season.
Why? Because the Warriors were winning, and then started piling it on.
Yes, my favorite team won, but it's so much more than that. I wasn't forced to sit through the final five minutes of a close game, where there's nothing but timeouts, fouls, and downtime. A game like this? You can ENJOY instead of tolerate.
A bad ref call at the end, or a questionable foul late didn't cause LeBron and the Cavs to lose.
Golden State did.
And THAT is the way it should be.
Go Warriors!!!
The Twins? Good pitching early. Not so good late. The Twins are not one of the elite teams in the league. They can hold their own against most division foes, but they play in one of the weakest divisions in baseball. And at best their bullpen is suspect. Last night they lost to a better team.

Golden Knights Lose
Until this morning, I didn't even know the NHL had a team from Las Vegas called the Golden Knights.
The same thing happened a few years ago when I found out about the Columbus Blue jackets.
To say I am out of touch with the league would not be inaccurate.
Go Wild, though!!!

Warriors Take 3-0 Lead In Series
Durant had 43!
I don't know how Houston had the best record in the NBA this year. The Warriors have so much talent, I don't even know how they lose.
Speaking of losing.
Twins.

Twins Split, 4 Games Back
Still in it. Escobar was the hero of the first game.
Still interested and it's June.
Go Twins!

Casey Mize
The Tigers picked first in the baseball draft yesterday. As expected, they chose Casey Mize as baseball's top pick. Scouts have really praised this pitcher, saying he's the best starting candidate they've seen in a long time.
His splitter gets the most notice. The Twins should see him more than most over the years being he's A.L. Central bound. I admit I'll be watching for him.

Eddie!
The Twins look pretty good when one one of their players hits 3 homers in one game.
Rosario now leads the Twins in every meaningful offensive category.
Go Eddie! Go Twins!

Lynn!!
Lance Lynn has three straight wins. The Twins are 4 1/2 back again.
Even with the depressing news about Santana's finger and Mauer's continuing concussion problems, the Twins are still trying.
A 7-1 win against the division leading Indians? That's a good start.

Escobar!!!
I admit, having no internet for 4 days (while the Twins were losing) put me in a bad mood about sports.
BUT
I watched the game last night and saw some pretty good pitching and hitting. The Twins won.
AND
I'm back on board. I just needed something positive to get me interested again.
Go TWINS!!!!!!

Twins Lose Again
I'm kinda' done here. Down 8-0. They come back and tie it. And then lose 9-8.
Cleveland is on a roll. The Twins are rolling down hill.
Fast.
Until there is something more to talk about, I'm not doing much with this blog anymore.
At least the Warriors won. It sounds like quite a game at the end of regulation. OT is where the Warriors put it away.
