Preoccupations – Memory
Minor Details: Games of May 29
The Saints hold on in the ninth. The Wind Surge comes back in the ninth. The Kernels get two hits in fourteen innings. The Mighty Mussels lose by a run.
Game 52 – Kansas City @ Minnesota
Brad Keller v. Matt Shoemaker
The Twins started the month of May by scoring 7 runs in one inning against Keller. It's only right that they finish the month the same way.
In writing out the starting pitcher matchup, I can't help but notice that Matt Shoemaker is still in the rotation. Three of his last four stats have been good, and as long as the ball stays in the yard, he's finding a little success.
Yet another Sunday rubber match for the Twins. I'm pretty sure every Sunday game this season has come with the Twins having split the two games before them. So far Minnesota is 3-3 on Sundays, so the weekends have been pretty much a wash.
May 30, 2021: Occasional Day
I got a bump in vacation days this year, but with no real reason to use them, I've still got a bunch left to burn (we don't carry over). I'm starting to resort to random extra 3 day weekends, which isn't terrible. Or, a four day weekend in this case.
