2K24: Minnesota Twins

[revo]

Staked to a 15-0 lead, Jose Berrios can’t get out of the 4th and won’t get the win. YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

[Sour Masher]

Buxton looks like he may finally be delivering on some of his long awaited expectations.

[Sharky]

What’s up with Royce Lewis? Cold start?

[Art Vandelay]

Best record in baseball as we approach the end of May.

I play in 4 a.l. only leagues and somehow ended up with shares of virtually the entire Minnesota offense.

c garver
1b cron
2b schoop
3b sano
ss polanco
inf m.gonzalez
of kepler
of buxton
dh cruz

no shares: rosario, astudillo

I also have closer parker, late guy rogers

I'd love to say I played it great but I also have 4 Orioles...

Strained wrist sends Nelson Cruz to the DL. This same injury cost him a month earlier this year.

Now, Cruz is saying that he has a tear in his left wrist and that he will visit a specialist on Monday.

Yep:

[Teenwolf]

Interesting to hear the story of Justin Mourneau tearing the same wrist tendon and not requiring a DL stint. Morneau claims it hurt him all year until the tendon snapped, and after it snapped he felt less stability but zero pain. So that's interesting. Seems like Cruz could be back after 10 days. Said he felt good taking swings today.

The Twins broke the Major League record for team home runs on Saturday with HR #268. Mitch Garver hit the record breaker in the 9th.

Rocco Baldelli, who at age 37 is the youngest manager in baseball, is making this manager thing look easy during his rookie season.

I think I just put in a FAAB for him as an OF last week

I was thinking that was too low for the record. But it is an average of 30 for everyone in lineup which does seem pretty epic

8 guys with 20 hr. Impressive

[revo]

Mitch Garver has 30 HRs and the Twins have 45 HRs out of the catcher position. Unreal.

I think that getting a lot of power from the historically weak hitting catcher position is the key to breaking team home run records.
