Any of y'all looking into this?
2020 Game 4 — Cardinals at Twins
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.

Gotta admit, it's kind of strange to go from no sports to every sport at once.

Gladden, through his experience playing in Japan, mentioned that the ace on a Japanese team usually wears the number 18, and he was right! I did not know that. Apparently Garver gave the number up to Maeda when he joined the team. That's super cool and I dig it.
All that said, the idea of the Dazzleman living in Japan fascinates me.
Happy Birthday–July 27
