Ahh, that bit never gets old... (right? RIGHT!?)
Odoreater's out there tonight, his scoreless streak recently snapped, but has still been more than capable of late. Angels are going with an opener in Cole before they bring in Pena. Hopefully we can make them regret that.
I still feel like the Angels are a better team than their record shows, so I'm hoping for a good series on their turf. It's the Twins' fault for starting to make me expect it.
Mobile isn't a fan.
heh.
Cleveland lost tonight. Twins most likely heading into the Memorial Day weekend with the AL Central lead.
On Sunday I'll be going to my first game in three years, and my son's first ever game.
That is awesome!
Arrayez almost got tagged out at third dusting himself off
I think somebody needs to talk to Buxton about Tony Gwynn.
LaTroy Hawkins threw to 48 different catchers. Javier Valentin (!) the most at 236 innings.
Also had a 5.68 ERA while Valentin was his catcher.
Mike Trout hit a weak pop foul fly to the 1B dude. Im taking a stab in the dark, that is a rare thing.
Odorizzi is looking very good again. I like him mixing things up.
Wow, I thought that Trout ball was gone, and it didn't even come close. Gordo would have given me a heart attack
Same with Eddie's and (to a lesser extent) Sano's as well.
Odorizzi's doing outstanding, but he's going to have to give up the ball to someone else before this game is through...
Probably a lot of somebodies.
nope, just to one pitcher. and then that one gave it to another, repeat
Good gravy, that curve was filthy.
So much fun to watch Harper actually succeed.
Sucks that Rogers gave up the tying run, but it's gotta be cool to strike out Trout without him swinging the bat. Especially to be able to walk off the field after that.
Per the Duke, the last 16 Twins hits have been singles.
That one was not.
Ugly ankle injury there right after Ohtani injury. Bad night for the home team.
yeah, that.
That ankle injury looked serious. Hope it's not. I like watching Simmons play baseball.
Oof. Ohtani then Simmons. Can't see any fault of theirs, but Angels fans aren't going to be happy with the Twins,.
Odorizzi after the game, discussing his chat with Baldelli after the 5th:
That seems like a reasonable culture to establish.
Both former Rays there.
That will probably make Jack Morris's head asplode!
