Loading... Game 81: the halfway point
I've liked Wolf Alice on and off since their debut album a while back, but their albs have always struck me as a bit uneven. Their newest, Blue Weekend, fixes a lot of that, and it rocks, besides.
I always figured they'd put on a real good live show, and this clip seems to confirm that.
Oh, and Griffin Jax takes on the Royals, if you're into that sort of thing.
Minor Details: Games of July 2
Josh Winder is in impressive in his AAA debut. A grand slam stops the Wind Surge. One big inning pops the Kernels. Fort Myers muscles up for a sweep.

2021 Game 80: Twins @ Royals
The Twins have played a lot of Friday night baseball against the Royals this season. Here's how that has gone:
April 30th - Win!
May 28th - Loss
June 5th - Loss
I was hoping for a pattern so I could say they were due or something. Instead we get J.A. Happ pitching again. Let's see what happens!
Minor Details: Games of July 1
A rough rehab start for Michael Pineda. Spencer Steer looks ready for AA. A bad game all around for the Kernels. The Mighty Mussels don't have very mighty muscles.
