Keuchul is a 5 inning pitcher. We have enough of those already. At the beginning of the year, I would have loved to have him. Now, nope. The playoffs are about bullpens (Twins have a 96% chance of making it at this point). We need bullpen arms or starters that can go deep into the game. So that means trading for Madbum and having a playoff rotation of Madbum, Berrios, Odorizzi, Perez (hot damn) or getting more relievers (I'd love have that Ryan Pressley trade reversed).

I'm shopping in San Frans bullpen, and Torontos starting rotation if im a contender. Madbum, minor, and grienke might as well start packing their bags too.

Very good game so far. Two evenly matched teams. Lots of disappointing years being a Twins fan. Yankees better not take this away. I'm sick and tired hearing about how the Twins can't beat the Yankees.

Cause Baldelli has a hard on for him, wish he wouldn't have made the roster.

Better question why is Berrios getting pulled after 88 pitches it's the playoff's

Just curious. Why do SO MANY Nodakers root for the Vikes/ Twins yet hate them coming to Nodak too hunt?
I don't watch or follow sports but seems to be a common thing.
Why the fixation on Mn sports teams?

I am a Twins fan because:
1. I can watch every game on TV
2. Listen on the radio
3. Drive to a home game
4. Started following baseball in the late 80s and they won 2 WS around then

As much as I want to believe that this is a new group of players and coaches, this game felt like the series of years past. We start out ok, then the Yankees get a big hit or two and we fade away. You have to admit that it is intimidating to play in Yankee stadium.

It's easy to second guess, but I don't get the hurry to get to the bullpen. Berrios wasn't perfect but he threw 4 innings with 1 ER. He had a 1-2-3 4th inning and I thought ok good he's settled in and then they take him out and the relievers bumble it away in the 5th. I don't see our bullpen holding up for 5 innings a game as they have basically zero experience.

This game was a good example of what MLB has become. 25 K's, 13 pitchers, 6 HR, game time 4:15. Bob Costas even mentioned several times throughout the game to the effect of "guys the ball hasn't been put in play yet this inning" after a team being at bat for 10 minutes.

Professional sports teams and hunting are very different things to be comparing. Would you be a Chicago, Wisconsin, or other fan if MN didn’t have sports teams?

Id be comparing fishing and hunting between ND and MN. So here’s my take: Other than pro sports teams, black bears and muskies, we don’t need MN.

It's pretty obvious aint it? I mean there are no MLB/NFL teams in ND and those are the closest to ND. Doesn't take a brain scientist to figure out why people in ND would be fans of those teams. Doesn't mean we have to like people from MN. ;)

It would be nice to drive to a game on a whim and not to have to drop close to $200/year to watch my team play, that's for damn sure.

Gibson and Cousins are dragging Minnesota teams down.
