Angels vs. Twins Game 1 Gamethread

My dad’s best friends were originally from Minnesota. Those guys were like uncles to me. 2 of them are gone now but I always think of them when I watch the Twins play.

I’ll say this here because I think the postgame thread will be empty. If it’ll take an 86-76 record to get WC3 then we’re eliminated tonight

Do we really believe the organization is better Since Perry was hired,? Even though his predecessor was also awful.

The sad thing is that the evidence is clear, DiPoto was/is the best in the last 10 years

I don’t think anyone believes it has improved since Perry arrived.

I know, It’s just that the decline seems to be accelerating.

If you can put a non pitcher in as pitcher, why not put a pitcher in right field?

On the one hand, I’m glad Lugo is playing, so management can better evaluate him.
On the other hand, if management already likes Lugo, he’ll be here for 6-7 more years, no matter how bad the performance level may be

These are the Twins who have had the worst record in mlb since the all star break.

These are the Angels, who’ve lost to 3 A’s rookie starting pitchers since August

This is psychologically better for the young players than having good prospects in the system
