The news is actually better than you think. Because there are 10 games against Cleveland yet to go, all the Twins need to do is win 56 of their remaining 62 - there is no way to do that without beating Cleveland at least 4 times, increasing their loss column while we pad our win column. Yay math!

56 minus Indians losses that are not against the Twins.... I think maybe

Here we go.

 

I'm in California and still at work. Wait, is that a Scotch bottle in my desk?

If it isn't, you're doing it wrong.

I wonder what Trebek would have done if someone had answered a statement in that form of a question...

Oops.

Boo. Hiss.

Odorizzi on a mission this evening?

Magic numbers are all about assuming nothing about the opponents. If they win out, it comes down to how many wins you need. It's just that if the remaining schedule has interesting texture, sometimes you can infer a little extra, as in this case.

NICE first inning for Jake.

Great start for Odo!

Do that again. And then again and again and again.

Eight more of those, please.

Great inning, and only 8 minutes long

Well then...

Indians update: up 1-0 midway through the 5th. A nice showing of offense up North this series

Eight more of those, please.

Ha. Ypu fixed before I could get my extra inning post in.

Stroman is on the mound for the Jays tonight so, naturally, the offense has been no-hit through four innings.

Did my watch stop or did that half inning take less than a half hour?!

The more I think about it, the less sense it makes to bench Kepler over Polanco against a lefty when both probably need the rest. Adrianza could have filled in for Jorge tonight.

Cruz digs hard and legs out a single to right.

Yay!

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

ED-die! (Repeat as needed.)

Hoo yah.

Well I’d much rather have Cleveland’s pitcher than Stroman.

Nice homerun call espn guy

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!! ROSIE!

This team looks beaten, for sure.
