The weather was ATROCIOUS through the first six weeks of the season. They had three sellouts over the last homestand. And school is out tomorrow. I’d expect big crowds most of the summer.
school's out tomorrow? jeezus. when do they start the school year?
September

It seems like they get plenty time off. All the regular holidays and random days here and there. Plus we had over a weeks worth of snow days this year too.

Kids must love that, basically 3 full months of summer.
Anyway, kudos to your Twins so far. Really impressive. I look forward to their inevitable matchup with the Yankees in the playoffs.

Thanks, man. I’m dreading that matchup but enjoying the ride!

33 other states plus D.C. have at least 180 days as a minimum requirement, whereas the average number of days in minnesota is only 174 (which itself is inflated by high school numbers).
more summer to accommodate tourists + the minnesota state fair + not enough air-conditioned buildings = get yer shit together minnesota

I think we’re all happy just the way it is.
but that's gotta suck if you rely on expensive child care

I really would love to see them go after Kimbrel. He could be a serious difference maker for the bullpen (which might be the only slight weakness of the team) the second half of the season. Keuchel doesn’t excite me much, but he’d be better than the current 5th (and possibly 4th) starter for the Twins, and obviously has the potential to be a front end starter if things go really well for him, so I’d gladly take that addition too. But my hope is their focus is on Kimbrel.
Steve Blass has a problem with Ronald Acuna? Was he around when Barry was there with the giant gold cross dangling from his ear?
a lot of hot takes on this
he also called out harper so people calling him racist for acuna dont acknowledge that aspect
i think hes just a cranky old man is all
I don't think he's racist, he's just yelling at clouds. We had Joe Simpson here complaining about everything from bat flips to Jewlery, to anti cancer t shirts at batting practice. It's just sort of an odd thing to cause emotional distress.
I hope I don't care that much about how young people look when I'm that old.

0 for 2. WTF???
Kimbrel got a bigger contract than I thought he would. The Cubs definitely extended him longer than I ever thought the Twins would. It’s a bummer, would’ve loved having him for this year and possibly next. I’m not huge on Keuchel. But I still would’ve welcomed the singing. I’m still hoping they go after a power arm reliever to close games. Maybe a trade for Will Smith from the Giants.

The Twins have had some struggles against the Tigers this season (relative to their otherwise dominance), but today wasn’t one of those days. The Twins homered four more times in a 12-2 win. Nelson Cruz has homers in four straight games. Jake Odorizzi allowed just one run in six innings to lower his AL best ERA. Cleveland lost today so the lead is now 10.5 in the division. It’s been an impressive first 1/3 of the season to say the least. I wonder how many All Stars they will have. It should be MANY.
