Slacker, back in the day relievers threw 300 innings.

 

 

Uphill.

 

 

In the snow.

In those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme 5 bees for a quarter you'd say...now, the important thing is I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, on account of the war...

 

I don't have any numbers yet, but boy (SSS!!!) do the Twins look like winners. I'm taking the over on my 89 win prediction.

Who had 2-0 in the opening day pool? Four games had that score...

Looks like an MLB record for homers on opening day today. The Twins and Indians combined for a total of 0.

I’m not sure how often all 30 teams opened on the same day before. It was not usually that way back in the day. Usually like half the teams played on opening day and the other half opened the following day.

Berrios is on pace for 300+ Ks this season

Blah blah blah, all this optimism....makes me wanna puke.

 

Players from the Twins farm system are on pace for a .071 batting average this season. The farm system is TERRIBLE!!!  

 

FIRE SOMEONE!!!!!11!11!!!

I think unless there is some unforeseen injury or they lose momentum when the clinch the division in August -- they are on a strong march to 162-0.

I was asked on a different thread if I was more concerned about OBP or OPP.     Not sure what OPP is but I think maybe Outs Per Pitch.     I just know Cleveland threw  92 pitches yesterday and the Twins had a .226 OBP.      Still, I don't know how many Cy Young winners we will face this year but 1-0 is a good start.

Not to mention 162 saves!

 

On the negative side, Rosario on pace to strike out 324 times and leave 324 men on base.

So you're not down with OPP?

A three-way tie for first in the AL Central! This division is not going to be decided until the last 161 games of the season!

Is it too early to say Saturday's game is a must win?

Buxton is still on pace to break Vince Coleman's consecutive steals record.  Coleman probably did his all in one season though, instead of three.

*Checks numbers*

 

It's never too early to say that! According to the fun numbers.

So you're not down with OPP?

Yeah, you know me!

It appears the lineups from the AL Central are going to do their part to help turn this into reality.  It's still a lofty expectation, but it's projectable with the current lay of the land.

Twins on pace to draw 3.2M in attendance. (The 39,519 that showed up yesterday appeared to be actual human beings that walked through turnstiles.)

 

On pace for 1.000 fielding percentage, and zero passed balls.

 

Is it too early to say Saturday's game is a must win?

 

Everyone knows games in April count less... so games in March must be worth a quarter game or something like that... 

Game three.   No one else is hitting higher than .200 and we have the guy batting .333 at the bottom of the order.

Fun with numbers: the guy hitting .333 is one wind-blown popup from batting .167.

Today’s starting pitcher threw half as many pitches as the first reliever and recorded one more out.

Twins pitching leads the league in strike outs, notching 40 Ks in 27 IP...

 

I could get used to this. 

Buxton, still on pace for 162 doubles

Pretty much a lock, by now.

Unless there’s a rainout..
