Tornado sirens are going off as I type this, so hopefully I won't be blown away before the game.
It's gonna have to be the tornado that blows me away, because these Twins aren't going to do it! They are coming off a nice series against the Astros, but the White Sox have not been kind to the Gemini this year. Something called Beau Burrows is getting his first start today against Giolito. Is that an opener thing? Dunno. Does it matter?
Uh, go Twins!
Lewis Thorpe pitches. Austin Martin hits. Yunior Severino hits like a senior. The Mighty Mussels barely hit at all.

Loading... It's hard to go from having 30 sports to choose from to one. Especially if that one involves the 2021 Minnesota Twins.

Pineda yesterday means Maeda today.
It is oddly satisfying to me that the Twins kept two rhyming starters in their rotation after the trade deadline. I tried to come up with a fun couplet to describe the rotation, but I have been informed that Twins pitching and fun aren't allowed to go together.
Ben Rortvedt delivers a pinch-hit walkoff. Caleb Hamilton hits a two-run sac fly. Breckin Williams does well in relief. Charles Mack reaches four times.
I understand all the issues with the Olympic Industrial Complex and all, but I do feel Japan got pretty screwed with their turn this time.
Anyway, on the games themselves, does anyone have any favorite moments?
