The baseball gods must have had a good laugh last night. Yeah, real f***ing funny, guys. Yuck it up, you must be so proud of yourselves.
Today the Twins try to shake off the worst loss of the season in a matinee that pits Chris Archer against Shane Bieber. Despite a couple of disappointing losses, and a chance for another before this 5-game set wraps up, the Twins will leave Cleveland with the division lead. And hopefully they can embiggen it today.
Play ball!
A good game for Cole Sands. A huge game for Edouard Julien.
So much to do to prepare for just a few days.

Game 3 4 of this long series. Since the disappointing series against Cleveland last week, the Twins continued to do okay while the Guardians were swept by Boston. Here's to adding to the losing and the Twins increasing their divisional lead.
Jake Cave stays hot. It was a game of Crazy Eights for the Wind Surge. The Mighty Mussels were not very mighty.
Keeping with the bright light theme, I got one of those fancy bright as hell LED lights with the 4 lights that you can bend to your preferred position for the garage. We had just a dim 40w (equivalent) in there before. Now, when I go into the garage, it feels like I've turned on the sun.

It's a Double Header today citizens! I'm guessing this is a makeup game from some earlier canceled game but not really motivated to confirm.
Game 1 we have Smeltzer v. Plesac and I've been pleasantly surprised at Devin Smeltzer this year. As for Plesac, he exemplifies the "Guardians have lousy starting pitchers but a lights out bullpen" vibe Cleveland has been riding this year. Let's get some early run boys.
