We're almost through what looked to be the scariest part of the schedule, and the Twins have done alright. Two of three in Toronto, one of three against the Yankees, and now one of one against Tampa.
The best part has been watching the offense come alive against some really good pitching. In the aforementioned games, they've knocked around Gausmann, Tailon, Nestor, and Cole. Those are some good pitchers.
Today, they get to face off against a guy making his 2022 debut. Unfortunately, the Rays get to face off against Chi Chi, which is.... suboptimal. Hopefully Joe Ryan and Bailey Over and Sonny Gray get back soon, because the rotation is in rough shape.
Go Twins!
I've seen enough of Chi Chi
Bremer notes Twins catchers are 3-34 in stolen base attempts
ooooofta
on replay they call him out. Ok now 4-34
Still oooofta
NO HITTER ALERT
(it worked)
SEND HIM!!!
Wow!!!!!
LUIS ARRAEZ!!!! BOMBA GRANDE!
Man I love Luis
You couldnt get a ball stuck in the fence like that if you tried 😆
Twins: don't mind me; I'm batting around
I reversed Spookied that slam. When the graphic was up showing he had 0 GSs, I thought to myself that that make sense because he's not a home run hitter.
Time for some insurance runs
That is why you don't frickin do the contact play in front of Luis!
Guaranteed series win!
Arraez further padding his batting average lead.
And OBP. He has a 34 point lead. The difference from first to second is the same from second to 15th.
He's pretty good at this baseball stuff.
And then I read his BA through 61 games is the highest for the Twins since Joe Mauer's .415 in 2009. Dang, Joe was The Man
Someone must be able to come off one of the ILs.
The Twins defense this is something terrible
Well this Thornberg guy eating up some innings
I’m at this disaster. Poor fielding decisions are the talk of the crowd.
The Twins are 0-8 when they score zero runs.
Yeah, even perfect pitching and defense doesn't help that
I swear it’s a genuine trend that my first game of the year, no matter how good we are, is this terrible.
