Happy Berríos Day!
After splitting the series with Detroit (which admittedly was a disappointment), an even more capable team in the Angels are coming to town. The Twins have .650 winning percentage at Target Field this year, but have split the games when the Angels have stopped by.
Hopefully Cron and Parker will look to extract some revenge against their old team. Cruz has whipped out his Boomstick 50 times against the Angels (good for 2nd most against them as a team), but he's day to day with his wrist is being evaluated. Hopefully we can find another dong masher or two on the team in the meantime.
On the mound for the Angels is Skaggs, whose numbers don't look all that great this year (3-3, 4.70 ERA, 1.37 WHIP). Maybe we can find some of that missing offense tonight.
Finally, don't forget, we're still on 1840 start times. Some of the senior citizens around here can get to bed a little earlier.
Putting this in the right spot. Gardy's nightmare lineup tonight.
And Adrianza is there too, so a little bit of ours as well
STOP WITH THE WALKS
"In play, runs" is good
That's a fine score to see when I turn the game on.
After eating the booger twice against Detroit, I really wanted them to get some runs early.
I wouldn't mind a few more here with Buxton being on base.
You have got to be kidding me.
Uffda.
Guess we're getting bad Berrios today
With a generous sprinkling of bad Marwin
It's starting to move past just s sprinkling...
He's been one of their best hitters for the past 10 games.
I know, I was just referring to tonight. He's not having the best evening.
And I was referring to his "fielding"
It was Trout and Ohtani. Were they bad pitches?
Trout's was just a regular old single that Gonzalez pooped on. The pitch to ohtani was a big ol meatball though.
Lost it in the roof
dang. nice HR robbing catch
Dagnabit.
Not helping his WHIP tonight
Guh, they're hitting everything just through the little cracks in the shift and it's very frustrating.
I'm re-lodging my formal complaint against replay.
This is easily the most annoying game I've watched this year. Think I'm gonna drop out here.
Twins only down 2, but it feels like down 8
Morneau called that shot.
That works
Somewhat better.
Sigh. One of those games.
Tommy La Stella just matched his career home run total on May 13th
Stud!
Remember when we had that guy who was awesome with RISP last year?
dead puppies and duds
