Indians putting in some serious work today.

2.0 games back with a 4 game series against the Twinks.

Don't blink now, folks!

Won them both including a BP game against Lance Lynn.

Clevinger tomorrow. Buckle up.

I have a bad feeling that shit is about to hit the fan.

We've handled them pretty well head-to-head this year.

[boxter432]

Lotta pressure on Gibby. Other matchups are more favorable.

The scoreboard watching of the A's/Rays/Red Sox the last few weeks of the season is going to be INTENSE!

3 of 4 from the Tribe and all will be good

3 of 4 from the Tribe and all will be good

I have a feeling it will be the opposite. They will be tied for first on Monday. I'm not hoping that I'm right but that is my prediction.

1 game back

Dog dayz of summer. A war of attrition.

At this point, I am worried about making the playoffs. I think the division is gone (IMO). They are 4.5 up on lowest wild card.

The Indians are about to get one of the top pitchers in baseball back too.

I think the division is going to be Cleveland's also. Not to say the Twins still can't win some games in this series but over the next two months, I don't think they can hang on.

They should get a WC imo. They are better than the Rays who are not that good themselves.

I think Boston is going to come up and get a spot. Leaves the Twins and Oakland battling it out.

Kluber wasn't good before he got hurt. Not to say that he won't be, but it's not going to be easy for him.

I'm worried now. If the Twins weren't so cheap we'd have pitching help to counter the loss of Cruz and Dyson.
I don't think anyone was asking for some ridiculous trade.

Just, "Don't be cheap asses". But alas, here we are AGAIN. The Twins shoot themselves in the foot by being cheap.
I will remember 2019 for a long, long time. Decades maybe.

Me too. Most notably are how full throttle the Pocket Protection Squad is. Jimmy has these goons putting in work.

The Pohlad Pocket Protectors are in full on meltdown mode right now.

They're going insane, almost to the point where it feels like they're questioning themselves.
They need to keep repeating the mantra, even when no one is saying anything about the Pohlads.

Time to update to Oak and TB wild card watch.

[bombers3shooter]

Is it really choking though? The Twins were never going to be able to sustain their best in baseball early pace the same way the Indians who are 40-16 since June 4th cannot stay that hot.

[jffl_commish]

They are about to be in the rear-view, fading quick.

let's hope the Twins miss out on the wild card as well ownership does not deserve playoff money.

It doesn't matter if they "Stay that hot" now. They tied the thing up. The Twins have been playing .500 ball for a month and a half.

[Hummdrum]

Even if Cleveland "comes down to Earth" they will still be playing well above .500 ball the rest of the way just not this super hot hopefully. The question is will the Twins win more than Cleveland the rest of the way ?

I remember believing this. It's from Twitter :

Amazing thing is, at that time, we thought the Twins could go .500 the rest of the way and still win the division.

Well, they've gone 2 games over .500 and have already given the lead away by August 9. Heck of a run by Cleveland

Twins had an 11 1/2-game lead on June 2.

Since then:
Cleveland is 41-16.
Twins are 30-28.

Dam...

Dam...

Nobody could see this coming. If the Indians continued this pace (which won't happen) how many Wins would they end up with ? There are 46 games remaining.
100 plus.

[RubeTube]

Well there it is! Twins officially sitting in 2nd place.

I want to thank everyone who participated in this thread. I will now ask the mods to...

LOCK IT UP!!

[salamander]

Fuckin A.

[jffl_commish]

The Twins are officially in the rear view mirror. Will they fade as quickly as they were caught? Or will the fight to try and keep up?
