MLB: 2015 Minnesota Twins thread

[RING4CY]

Lots, lots, lots of baseball left to be played. But even at this point of the season, the Twins are on pace for 91 wins.

I would be extremely satisfied with 91 wins for the 2015 Twins. Whether that means playoffs or not.

This team is so much fun to watch. The offense is really clicking, and so far the pitching has done well enough to get some W's. Nice to see Aaron Hicks playing well since his call up, too. Hopefully this is the time he finally puts it all together.

Twins beat Pirates 4-3 in 13 innings on Mauer's first homer!

The sweep of Pittsburgh puts Minnesota at a season high 6 games over .500 at 23-17.

Twins now 25-18....Getting 4 out of their last 5 road games.


Now tied for 3rd best AL record. Who would have thought after their horrific start to the season. Also helps they just won a series against a division foe in the chi-sox


Up next is 4 at Home against Boston I believe. Worst case scenario is to split it, otherwise would be great to pick up 3 out of 4.

Listened to that on the radio the other night. Gladden was going nuts calling that homerun!

Man, this has been an exciting year so far. Dozier is crushing the ball and we've had some really good days pitching. I know there are blowouts some days but get rid of those and this team looks pretty good.

Best record in baseball for the month of May! Great to see the Twins have some starting pitching.

Heading to the game tomorrow. First time in a few years that I've been excited to go to a game.

Will get even better when Ervin Santana comes back in July.

Future is bright. Only a matter of time before Buxton, Sano and Berrios arrive.

So moving into second place bought the Twins... the same wild card game vs detroit. I'll take it. take away the first week and two of the recent games they lost by one run and you have the most odd contender I can ever remember.

 

[mj4cy]

I was wrong. Only 3 vs. Boston. Gotta win each series!

3 at home against Boston and Toronto this week, then 4 in Boston next week.

Wasn't sure where to put this but clay buchholz has a collection of rat tails on his head. Doesn't Boston have a PR person

The Twins have been a nice little distraction in May. Not sure they can keep it up, but they are playing really well right now!

I wasn't sure if bringing Hunter back would work out, but it seems like it has.

 

[FDWxMan]

Twins win again and take the series from Boston!

At 27-18 they'll try to sweep tomorrow, move to 10 games over, and potentially have a chance to tie KC for first. Things I never thought I'd say for $800.

Also, saw this eye popper on twitter, Twins have trailed for only 2 of their last 67 innings!

 

[bawbie]

They also have 5 straight starts of 7+ innings and 3 or less runs.

Apparently Twins fans don't like to vote?


I would seriously think you have to look at Dozier as an All-Star. Leads the AL in runs scored, and can hit some homeruns.


Mauer/Dozier/Plouffe/Hunter all hitting 250+ batting averages. Consistency has been huge. Bullpen has come around. Still not sold on Nolasco, but if he can hold it together until Santana is back, not too shabby.


Hoping this ride lasts awhile.
