LOL here& #39;s the new narrative: An under-.500 team beating a 3 seed in the playoffs isn& #39;t impressive because... they& #39;ve been beaten in the past with entirely different personnel. https://twitter.com/dfiregirl4/status/1311425322198409216">https://twitter.com/dfiregirl...
Somehow, Milton Bradley throwing out Torii Hunter on a controversial play at the plate in 2006 is relevant to Jose Urquidy, Cristian Javier, and Framber Valdez shutting down a division-winning offense that went 24-7 at home.
You can quite honestly just not like a team. You don& #39;t have to come up with weird narratives.
YEAH OKAY BUT LIKE DAVID HAD A SLINGSHOT SO I JUST DONT REALLY SEE HOW THIS IS ALL THAT IMPRESSIVE - Delia Enriquez, probably
Mike Axisa: I really think the Twins are the most compelete team in baseball and should win it all.
Delia Enriquez: Beating them isn& #39;t that big a deal. Andy Pettitte did it in 2009.

I guess, by this rationale, if the Astros beat the Yankees in the ALCS, it won& #39;t really mean anything because the Yankees haven& #39;t beaten the Astros "in a couple of years" (read: ever).
Carlos Correa will look you in the eye and tell you exactly what he thinks and it makes so many people SO uncomfortable. They& #39;d much rather rally behind someone who makes a pouty face and a snide comment while hightailing it for the dugout. Says a lot.
The Twins won 77.4% of their home games in 2020. No other team came close. Dodgers? 70%. Yankees? 71%. Astros? 71.4%. But somehow it& #39;s not impressive to sweep them at home in the playoffs because Curtis Granderson hit a triple ten years ago.

For the sake of context: This is the 11TH-BEST HOME RECORD OF ALL TIME and the Houston Astros *swept* the series in Minnesota. (h/t @Landan_Kuhlmann for the assist.) But, yes, you& #39;re right. It& #39;s "been a few years" since the Twins won a postseason game.
