Twinkie Town Talk: The Twins are better than the Yankees Edition.

In case you missed it: Twinkie Town was busy yesterday!

• Thomas started the day by naming the Twins minor league players for May.
• TJ talked about the new rule that Rob Manfred has put in place to stop the Twins from being the best team in baseball.
• I wrote a piece on why I don't want Mad Bum on the Twins and people surprisingly agreed. I also just figured out how to change my username to my name!
• TeamCrazyMatt compared the 2019 Twins to last seasons Yankees and the Twins are better.
• The Twins halted their one game losing streak (tied for the second longest all season) by beating the Mariners.

Elsewhere in Twins Territory:

• I highly recommend reading this piece by ESPN. It highlights the atmosphere around the Twins with great insight from the players.
• The Pioneer Press highlighted a change Buxton made to his approach.
• The Twins are using creative ways to get us to come back to Target Field.

Around baseball:

• Shohei Ohtani becomes the first Japanese-born player to hit for the cycle. Tsuyoshi Nishioka is still better.
• Tommy Pham of the Rays is mad at the Yankees.
• Raptors win a trophy....what sport was that for again?

Random stat/discussion for the day:

• The Twins bullpen is ranked 12th for ERA in high leverage situations. Should they wait to trade, or trade ASAP?
