Because of some truly menacing weather yesterday, we get to test out the goofy new 2020 doubleheader rules. Seven inning games! What do ya know about that? Funny that they are doing an actual, non-split doubleheader, now that there aren't fans to come.
Game 1 features former Terry Ryan thirst trap Ian Kennedy squaring off against Jake Odorizzi. The Odor this far has been mostly absent, so hopefully this game will get him started off on the path he was on last season.
Game 2 is unclear thus far. Bullpen game? Berrios? Odorizzi again? Who knows? It'll be fun, either way.
This is the Odorizzi we expected.
This has not aged well.
Six strikeouts and no walks in four plus innings aged okay. Still only two runs. That's a quality start in a seven inning game.
Im an idiot. I read that as Berrios.
BOMBA
I think that left a dent
Arby's no longer has onion rings; we better win this one.
Pretty win? Well, pretty good, at least
for those keeping score, Berrios lead off baserunner.
nice pickoff
Bullet dodged by subterfuge
I noticed the Twins move that player fatheads around. I thinks that Herb sitting behind the right hander batter box? Johan is behind the lefty box
Berrios not exactly commanding.
well, crap. Sorry I showed up for that.
Just got back from an outdoor lunch with my dad - turned on just in time - I am definitely to blame here......
bleeping Whit Merrifield
oh, crap. They really are doing this stupid 7-inning thing for double headers?
cruz missile.
Told my son today Nelson Cruz was older than me. His eyes got big.

robot umps. Sometimes they help you, sometimes they hurt you.
Damn. Soooo close.
just missed that one
well, that pretty much seals it. 🙁
Or we could accept a BuxBomb.
Ack. Overpowered.
It would be really cool if he would throw one where Eddie's swinging.
Only ONE ground ball out all game for the Twins? Wow.
13 Ks in a 7 inning game? Wow.
The Royals seem to have something going on. Serious power arms in the bullpen.
They have it going on against the Twins, anyway. They're 4-1 against Minnesota, 5-11 against everyone else.
The Twins have the third-best record in the league right now. I know there's still a ways to go, but if the season ended today, the Twins would play #6 seed Cleveland in the first round.
Well, the Indians aren't the Royals at least
