Lamb18 July 14, 2019 Share July 14, 2019 I'm happy Twins won the series against Cleveland. Although our season's been great so far, I've noticed that Twins win series against not so great teams, but have lost series against better teams. I felt they really needed to step it up in order to take the division and do well post-season. If we can win series against Boston and Chicago I'll feel more confident.

Seriously, if you're at home facing the Mets, and Diaz is on the mound, and you got a runner on base? There's hope. Even if you're down by three runs and you can only send pitchers to the plate, you still have hope. For some reason, they showed Chris Chambliss' ALCS walkoff homer. I'm guessing the SNY announcers were talking about it. That was some scary shit. Remember Robin Ventura's "Grand Single"? Similar, but only instead of Chambliss getting mobbed by his teammates, he's being manhandled by Yankees fans.

Which is why it's beyond stupid that they are trading Stroman and possibly Giles. Sanchez should probably go to the bullpen but they won't do that either. I like Montoyo (the coach) but above him- Atkins and Shapiro-I dont think they have managed the team well overall.
