Y'know, for the heck of it I was checking out what the sportsbooks had for odds to win the AL Central... it's the White Sox by a decent margin, even though they're below .500 now. Unless they didn't touch the spread since April, it means that the folks who are putting money on this don't think the Twins are as good as we think.

What’s this “we” business?

I'll have whatever you're having. If we get away with a 3-3 record, I will be THRILLED

[CRF]

By the looks of things...the swoon is in full swing. Back to .500 is closing on us real fast. 

[Irishman]

I’m very glad I did not subscribe MLB.tv this season.   They are awful team.   Not worth watching Twins.

103 Pitches for Skubal. That's the spirit!

[Mill1634]

Skubal is really good, and this lineup as currently constructed is not, but to see such a lifeless effort is still disappointing no matter the names in the lineup. This team badly needs Correa, Lewis, Gray, and Alcala back. Speaking of, has anyone heard anything on Correa?

Playing a powerhouse like the Tigers what do you expect?

The entire lineup may as well have Foreigner 's Cold As Ice as their walk up music.

So there’s 5 catchers listed in Wichita

Scouting the stats Alex Isola is having himself a season! .848 OPS with 5 homers in 30 games so far for Wichita as a 23 year old. He’s playing some 1B and DH too, but I suppose w/ 5 Cs ya gotta get innings somehow

Pretty much everyone else looks mid 20s journeyman-like at Windsurge and Saints.

Anyone know why Gladden and Laudner are doing the radio broadcast?  Are Provis and Attaberry the latest COVID victims?

Didn't see an answer, but it is yes. The entire radio crew (including techs) tested positive.

Do the radio broadcasts get to go remote again for the Toronto series?

Or is there a TV/radio taxi squad?

Bechtold has been an infielder his whole career, but I think he's dabbling at catcher, while I thought Williams was an outfielder. Could be wrong.

Larnach doing his Puckett imitation!

Well, on the bright side, Megill looks pretty darn good so far. Maybe he can help in more important situations?

Game over, man!
 

Thanks for the company.
