Bad news: It's been a long time since expectations for the Twins were this low going into a season.
Good news: Last time everyone expected the Twins to be this bad, they made the playoffs.
Can the Twins surprise again? My (very skeptical) season preview: nytimes.com/athletic/71309…
I’d rather see Iowa State play Tennessee than Virginia. I like their ability to get steals more against Tenn. Virginia has 3 capable guards and can shoot it better off the trap.

No matter the age of any #Yankees players in the minors or big leagues, they are now at the point where the best player should play.
PERIOD.
If you’re hot, you play in the Bronx, if you’re cold you get sent down.
No matter the salary or age of the player.
Get it?
This needs to happen NOW.

One of the worst end of game sequences I can remember.
Randle completely spaced out defensively allows Grant 5 feet of space on the most important possession of the game.
Then DiVincenzo/Gobert PnR predictably leads to nothing on the other end to tie/win it.
Bad hoops.
Zak Kent is going to make the Twins bullpen? I’ve never heard of him…college ERA was 5.74, minor league ERA was 4.13 over 6 years and he has 12 games of MLB experience for 4.58 ERA. WHIP has been around 1.40 wherever he’s gone. I’d rather roll with Zebby from day 1 in the pen.
Throwback to the time Luis Arráez, Byron Buxton, and Carlos Correa ambushed Yankees starter Gerrit Cole with three straight home runs to begin the bottom of the first.
Cole wound up surrendering seven runs in just 2 1/3 innings of work.
Takeaways:
1) OKC DOMINATES the last 15 mins
2) 22 TO's, OKC 15 OREB
3) Ant can't even be 70%
4) Julius played well
5) Wolves might have a Jaden problem
6) Bad Rudy, Naz and Bones game
7) Ayo was great but kind of disappeared
8) OKC can beat you in a hurry
9) Things aren't good
I think Gobert having a really bad night in like 90% of the games against these western conference playoff teams is an under the radar issue. Been completely ineffective against OKC, SAS, HOU, DEN and LAL.
