Twinkie Town Talk: Even ESPN is paying attention Edition

I’m back! Sorry for the lack of TTT lately, and thanks to the folks who stepped up!

In case you missed it on Twinkie Town yesterday

• Cole looks at how the Twins future should impact their trade-deadline decision making
• Zach has a nice “get to know ‘em” for folks who maybe haven’t been paying to the Twins until recently.
• You can buy one of the “Bomba Squad” shirts like the Twins gave out (and wore) the other night.
• The Twins came back from a 6-1 deficit last night, only to blow it in the 10th, by giving up three unearned runs.

And elsewhere around Twins Territory

• ESPN is finally being forced to pay attention to the Twins, and took a look at how the Bomba Squad is setting records.
• According to Forbes, all you have to do to see how the Twins have succeeded is follow the money. Forbes, being a magazine primarily about money is probably inclined to make this point.

Around baseball

• USA Today looks at which division races are pretty much over, and which are just heating up. If the Twins were a steak, I’d probably eat them.
• The latest in the investigation of the shooting of David Ortiz. It sounds like a heck of a conspiracy.
• Bleacher Report ranked all the farm systems after the 2019 draft. Seems a bit pointless, as none of the draftees have played so much as a single rookie ball game, and are still years away from the MLB.

Discussion Question:

Have you ever been as excited about a sports team as you have been about the 2019 Twins?
