Baseball is back, folks. For yesterday, that was enough. A couple of months ago, it seemed basically impossible for them to be playing baseball anywhere but across the ocean in early April, but he we are.
Today's tilt features the other big Twins offseason acquisition in Sonny Gray. "Sonny" is actually his given name, which....I didn't really know that was a name people game their kids anymore. Either way, the Twins just need him to go out and put in fine or six solid innings and get to the bullpen.
Speaking of the bullpen, Duran was pretty fun yesterday, huh? Here's a retrospective of the Mariners batters trying to hit Duran's offerings once he settled in.
Kid's gonna be fun to watch.
Hopefully today, the offense is fun to watch.
Go twins!
I keep telling myself we should lose to the reigning Cy Young winner.
Righty on the mound, and Kepler batting 7th -- still sanity. Someone needs to light a fire under Jorge though
He had some ugly at bats today. Like, all of them.
Second anthem in a row to pronounce it "pair-oh-luss"
Man I love Luis
He's a good baseball man.
Arraez, masher
Arráez! Hearing the Poissonnière cheer for her favorite is truly special.
Based on that, I'm very glad they didn't trade him.
I was pretty concerned about it. With Miranda coming up, I figured it was a pretty distinct possibility. She learned how to roll her Rs specifically because she wanted to pronounce Arráez’ name correctly.
She starts T-ball in June, so we’re leaning hard into her fan development this spring.
Need to roll the R on La Regadera as well!
Nice! Our youngest got his autograph at spring training.
Let's see if the Mariners get a make up call on today's challenge
Ha! Stadium plays Genesis "There Must be Some Misunderstanding"
Watching parts of the two Apple TV+ broadcasts last night heightened the contrast between the minimal-but-informative Apple score bug and this busy monstrosity that Bally uses.
I watched the Astros/Angels tilt on Apple+ last night, and I love everything about it, especially the simplicity and sleek design you mention.
Plus, they were interviewing Peña's mom and dad on his major league debut, and he hit a home run as they were talking. It was pretty great.
I was also fortunate to be watching when Peña went yard. That was really neat.
That inning could have gone better.
Hoping the supply chain problems are resolved soon and the Twins bats get delivered
all the commercials i'm going to be forced to watch on mlb.tv for the next 3-4 months are reallllly annoying already.
They're just what the Harris family needed! 🙁
need a rally taco or 6
BUUUXXXXXTTTOOONNNNNNNNN
4Bux!!!!!!
M!V!P!
80+ HR, all in late/close situations should do it.
Byron hit that one a Bux-ton!
Sounded like a rifle shot. It was crazy crushed.
$4
Came in fast, went out faster.
Got a pot of caldo de costilla going. Local whole animal butcher was out of oxtail today, but they cross-cut some very lovely beef shank for me. The butcher obliged the Poissonnière’s expression of interest and showed her how the shank fit together before she cut it on the bandsaw. Picked up some lamb gyro sausages for a little extra weekend treat. I love that shop.
yeah.
Puke
Can Buxton bat next inning?
Not ideal.
ugh
Well, that was disappointing.
ugh
GOSO
I hope Rocco isn't planning to use all of April again to find out which pitchers aren't high leverage
We'll just have to settle for 160-2!
Bring back Rogers!
