    Maybe I’ll get into it if they advance but between the mediocrity and the new playoff format this is the least excited I’ve been for a postseason that I can ever recall.

    Yeah, sports right now just aren't the same. None of them feel all that real or exciting to me at the moment.

    Maeda has been great for the Twins this year. Berrios has been good but inconsistent. If they get to Pineda he's been out for a lot of the season.

    Here in MN there hasn't been much attention paid to this series. My guess is a lot of it has to do with having no fans in the stands and also that the Twins have been swept there last few playoff appearances.

    It seems like there is more talk about the Vikings being 0-3.

    It hasn't felt like a -real- season obviously, but this is all about just giving every single twitter idiot an F U.

    That was a cheap shot by those guys. Unless they know him personally, they shouldn't be saying things like that.

    I was foolish.

    ESPN announcer: What do you attribute to the Astros swinging at more pitches outside the zone this season?
    Correct answer: The Astros aren't.

    This could be bad. Even though Cruz is slow it's going to be very difficult to double Buxton and Kepler.
