Minor Details: Games of April 9
Another huge day for Christian Encarnacion-Strand.
Game 3: Seattle @ Minnesota
Remember how awesome this was?
Losing the first two games by one run each sure makes it easy to look for the little things that could have maybe gone the other way to flip the result. This was not a little thing, Buxton turned around that fastball and earned that flip of the bat and should have earned a flip of the outcome.
Just watch it again. He's so good.
Today's pitchers:
Ober vs. Marco Gonzalez
I'm very interested in what Bailey Ober's season will look like. Repeating the good parts of a rookie year is sometimes a challenge. On the other hand, there were good parts about a Twins pitcher last year!

Game 2: mariners @ twins
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!
