Happy Friday friends! Have some links!

In Case You Missed It

  • The Latest Fanpulse came in, and 60% of you are optimists, liars, or both
  • Ben pondered whether this was the best April in the history of the Twins. I don’t know about you, but the long winter was worth it for this beautiful spring.
  • Our resident Sandwich Master gave us the rundown on the latest roster move made by the Twins
  • The Twins had a fun day yesterday! Read about it here. No animals were harmed in the making of this article.

Elsewhere in Twins Territory

  • Jonah Keri of the Athletic thinks that the Twins are for real. Why, you might ask? Well I don’t know. Pay to find out. ($$)
  • Over at Fox Sports, they give us a nice rundown of what’s going on down on the farm.
  • The Twins like to steal bases.... right? Actually, the Twins aren’t running because they’re mashing, according to this story.

Around the Horn

  • Breaking news (to no one): USA Today wonders if MLB’s baseballs are juiced. Hint: They definitely are.
  • Jeopardy god James Holzhauer’s dream job is to be an MLB GM. Who wants to bet against him at this point?
  • Noah Syndergaard, the Mets starter (who the Twins owned earlier this season), accomplished a rare and impressive feat yesterday.
