Check them out at Selby and. I got that right this time. I am John Bonus of Trinsdaily.com. I'm patting myself on the back. That'll be insane. Watching me pat myself on the back is Eric Kleeman of Baseball Perspectus.com. Another, well, we'll see how it ends up today. Yeah. It's a winning week either way. It's a winning week. They do, if they don't win today, they lose a half game to Cleveland in the standings on the week. I mean, you know, they started out the week at 10 and a half. They can afford to lose a half a game to Cleveland in the standings. Yeah. It's, yeah, I mean, the Indians are playing a little bit better.

They've also, their schedules let up a little bit.

But, yeah, I don't know.

I think we've reached the point now where literally every loss that the twins have,

particularly if there's some miscue that leads to it or the defense just implodes,

which happened today

sort of and happened a couple games ago or somebody blows a lead that you can sort of pin it on

you know if it's just a four three game that they trailed by one or two runs the whole time and

they lost people are like okay but if if there's ever now any loss where there's a change of

momentum within the game or they give up a lead or there's a goat or there's anything, it's, I don't want to say it's a freakout because it's not. Yeah, it's not a freak out. I think Twins Twitter has gotten a little bit better after losing those first two to Cleveland a couple of three weeks ago. Maybe partly because they have an 11 game later, or 10 game lead, you know what I mean? It's a little easier to not freak out. Everything has should be, doesn't have to be, should be filtered through that lens, which is even if they lose today, and we'll give a update when the score is final. But even if they lose today, they'll have taken two out of three from the Tigers. They'll have taken two out of three from the Royals. If you do that, you'll win 108 games during the season.

And yet there's a feeling, I think, that's like any game they lose particularly to teams that are not at all in playoff contention. The Royals are terrible. The Tigers are very slightly less terrible. I think there's a feeling of particularly, you know, the bullpen blows it. It's, oh, my God, here goes the bullpen. Again, the defense blows it. it's oh my god, god sono or rosario made a i don't think it was actually an error but missed a catch in in left field and then uh

adrianza oh they actually did rule it hit and then adrianza playing first base which he doesn't normally play

throws home uh it was a close play so no bibles like rounder right and and going back two three games
