2020 Twins Game Logs

2020 Game 4 — Cardinals at Twins

27 Comments

Twins begin their 2020 home season schedule with a National League opponent for the first time ever which seems appropriate given this weird season. The St. Louis Cardinals should be pretty decent this year so a good gauge early on what the Twins could be.

Homer Bailey up for the Twins and let’s hope that he forgets to pitch to name. Carlos Martinez pitching for the Cards. He was a reliever last year but is going back to being a starter for 2020.

Game time at 7:10p with some early season opener festivities. At 8:46p a moment of silence for George Floyd and apparently there will be a memorial mural on the outfield wall in his honor. Don’t read the Strib comments!

So baseball’s back baby. Let’s continue what was started in Chicago.

  1. This is Game 4. But if we could repeat what we did in Game 3, I'd be okay with that.

  2. Homer Bailey was drafted in the first round in the 2004 Draft. The Twins have had 7 players from the first round play at least 1 game for them
    - Phillip Humber #3 pick
    - Homer Bailey #7
    - Trevor Plouffe #20
    - Glen Perkins #22
    - Phil Hughes #23
    - Kyle Waldrop #25
    - Matt Fox #35

    also had Jay Rainville at #39 but never reached the majors

  4. Twins have got to win this one. Besides needing the bragging rights here in StL, with each game we have no guarantee there'll be another game the rest of the season.

    1. My wife is wearing her Twins shirt today. I keep reminding her she needs to cheer against her Cardinals.

    2. Apparently there’s no right way to protest the things you don’t want protested.

      1. Seems to me the random fan talking to his neighbor in the stands during the anthem is less respectful than someone kneeling quietly, but I still don't know how the anthem became totally synonymous with the military/first responders

  7. "The Cardinals did not have cardboard cutouts in the stands for their Opening Weekend. But if they did, they would be the best cutouts in baseball" - Dick Bremer deadpanned. Im rolling 😆

  11. Okay, how does this work: do the Twins need to score 9 to keep up their runs/inning, or since they're the home team and don't bat in the 9th, only 8?

    1. Nine. I don't see a breakdown for number of batting innings so they need to get nine because it's not tracked they didn't bat the final half inning.

  13. Not the "R" player I expected for the ninth. Three run lead but Romo instead of Rogers. But, bottom of the order so no need for Rogers I guess.
