Oh yes, today is TBD when the Twins could be using Dobnak, a perfectly good and capable starter that would probably do a better job than their bullpen.

Leave Avila at the alternate site and bring back Dobnak. Avila is basically an automatic out.

Yuh.

I honestly think he'll be hitting 400-foot home runs when he's 93. Seriously though.

To be fair, neither bullpen did great. It's not like the Tigers bullpen did outstanding, shutting out the Twins or something. They allowed six runs. The Twins bullpen just allowed... more than six runs.

Will Astudillo go back to St. Paul though? If he does, the Twins are down to one catcher in Jeffers. Not exactly how it was supposed to be...

Are we sure that it wasn't White Sox 3, Twins 2. Like a typo?!?!

I like to look on the bright side, so, let's think positive here, even if it's just a little bit. The Twins hadn't scored more than 3 runs in any of their last six games, and today they came along and scored five runs. The White Sox just scored...more than five runs. Eventually, five runs will be enough to win a game, they just need to FIGURE OUT THE DANG PITCHING SQUAD. (and rogers. rogers is blowing it for everybody.)

Let's name all the players who can't hit! Kepler, Rosario, Sano, Polan- oh let's just save ourselves some time and name all the players who CAN hit! Cruz There we go. Done now.

I think the Twins should go with a six man rotation, with Maeda at the front, then Berrios, Dobnak, Odorizzi, Pineda, Hill.

Uh huh, in a NORMAL season. In this season, the Twins have played 24 games, which means we're almost halfway through.

Anyone think that pitchers and infielders are starting to figure him out? I know he can hit to all sides of the field but I've noticed they've been covering that gap more this year.

Anyone else realize that each position was either a Twins player, or if it wasn't, then the other player considered was a Twins player?

Anyone else think it'll be easier to beat the Yankees in the playoffs since we won't have their fans screaming at us? Or the pressure of our fans, since we all know the Twins have a bad record in the postseason, and the Yankee fans hold it over our heads and we, well, it's hard to say we do anything wrong but we do.

It's been a week, we all knew this had to happen sometime.

An interleague game is more important than others since we don't play very many of them, okay???? I'm not explaining any more times

It's interleague, that's why. Of course, that won't seem that strange after this year.

Oh fun! Back to back series versus the Yankees and Cheaters! I can't wait to see the Indians rise to first place in mid-June!

Nope, COVID is not as fun to think about at all.

Who got the coronavirus? That's what I'm trying to figure out from the roster!

Sorry Tom, but I think it's more like 102 days.

Ha. Me too.

Wow. See, that’s exactly what I DON’T want to happen to young fans and just fans in general. Try and hang on. Follow simulated seasons, it at least gives you some kind of recap to read every day. That’s a tip I wanna give to every fan who feels like they’re slipping away from baseball.

Mind if I use this for something in my next part? Just like it if that’s fine with you.

Baseball isn't coming back if we don't do something about it. I don't follow other sports, but I learned that the NBA and MLS are restarting in Florida, and the NHL is doing... something, I don't really know what. Their boards and committees have all approved of plans, but MLB has not. Here's the thing: People NEED baseball. They need to have that thing that distracts them from regular life. They need a sport that's totally organized and set up right. I understand that we have a major global pandemic right now. But if other professional sports are figuring out how to restart, than we need to as well. We need to figure things out so we can have a season. And right now, it's all about money. They aren't thinking about what players want, or what fans want. It's all about money. I personally really liked the MLBPA's proposal for a 114-game season. As a fan, I want to get in as many games as possible. Now they're saying that they only want to play for 40-50 games. Just so they can pay the players as little as possible! A baseball player's job is hard. They have to play 162 games in a season, and they risk injury doing all this. It's physically demanding and difficult. That's why I believe that players should get payed as much as possible. I need baseball. Replay games lack the magic of a regular game. We need that unpredictability, one where we can't look up the final score. Baseball is my favorite sport. Even if we don't play in 2020, that won't change. Here's the thing though: It will change for some people. If baseball is the ONLY sport that doesn't come back in 2020, baseball will face serious declines in fans. This post was sort of just my ideas. I wrote whatever came into my head and I'm aware that I kept circling back to things. But, if you liked this and want to know more of my ideas, you can look for part 2 on Monday. Comment why you think baseball should or should not come back in 2020. I may use some of your ideas in my next post.
