Minor Details: Games of July 20
Taylor Rogers pitched well for six innings, but unfortunately he also started the seventh. Adam Brett Walker II hit his twenty-fifth home run. An excellent outing for Aaron Slegers. The Kernels get blown out. Dereck Rodriguez has an awesome game for the E-Twins. Three GCL Twins pitchers hold the opposition hitless for seven innings. The DSL Twins lose it in the ninth.

July 23, 2015: Dead Time
I had hoped business would be up a little when I came back, but it's been brutal.
Game 94: Twins in LAA
HungryJoe provided the delicious feature photo this Wednesday. I mostly want to just leave it at that. Though I'll try to post lineups and such as the LATE game gets closer. I hope Sano is good to go and that the bats wake up. The Wilson Pelfrey match up reminds me of neither of these clubs. Such is baseball.
Go Twins!
