Twins Game Log 67 — Twins at Mariners
Twins back at it after another disappointing outing by a member of the bullpen the night before. The J.A. Happ Experience against the Mariners righty Chris Flexen -- so hopefully the bats can mash more than what Happ gives up against a weak hitting team.
Another late one with a 9:10p first pitch at the ballpark formally known as Safeco Field.

June 15, 2021: Compromise
How about this, instead of banning the shift you say two IFs have to be on either side of second base. After that, put `em where you want.
Okay, fine, what's your idea?

2021 Game Log 66: Minnesota Twins at Seattle Mariners
Hello, friends, and welcome to another edition of Why Are You Watching This?
We welcome back old friends King Kenta and Luis Arraez. In a corresponding move, Pineda and Refsnyder will take a breather. Maeda will take the mound tonight for the first time since mid-May. Gonzales is working his way back from an injury, and like the Mariners, hasn't been great this year.
Episodes of Why Are You Watching This? have been sparely attended in recent days, and the west coast start time means this might be a single digit LTE affair. Oh well, maybe something amazing will happen.
At The Movies: Pitter Patter!
Hey, guess what I started watching? To be faaaahh-yyyaarr, it's a pretty great show.
What show/movie that's been out for awhile are you just catching up to?
And of course, what else have you been watching?
