Make Up for Tuesday's rainout!!!
Game two and three of a four game series at Yankee Stadium and the Twins just got a new scouting report in time for today's game: Don't groove a fastball right down the middle to Aaron Judge. Hopefully this gets disseminated to the pitching staff by 1:00 central.
First game includes new Twins pitcher Louie Varland. He's from Minnesota! Yay. Good luck on making your MLB debut at Yankees Stadium. Will definitely be something to tell the grandkids.
Game two has G. Cole pitching for the Yanks and he has 204 K's this year, most in the majors. Joe Ryan for the Twins and once again we will find out if it is good Joe or bad Joe. Hey Joe, read that scouting report about grooving fastballs to Aaron Judge.
Hamiltonian events conspiring!
Louie Varland picks up his first big league K, but it's some no-name scrub. Hey, it still counts!

Varland got the scouting report!!
And he read it!
Hey Louie, the scouting report applies to every Aaron Judge at bat, not just the first one.
Stupid hemisphere - 4th inning of the first game of the DH, and I'm already falling asleep. Don't mess this one up, Citizens - it's in your hands now
2 out squibber, bloop, and a line drive for a run!
Helluva effort by Louie Varland
He had a big smile on his face coming off the mound. I also like that all the infielders we're ruffling his cap and slapping his back like "hell yeah, man!"
So much for getting him the W...
😐
All right Twins quit farting around and win this game
Duran now with ninth inning duties.
Good leathah and poor base paths...
Holy crap!
ullger'd
newman'd
I missed the base coach blunder of the season apparently
wheels coming off... should have had a balk called on them too.
Save the pitching staff (cuz we all know Rocco aint letting no starter get 18 outs) and just lose this game
Makes sense - load the bases so you can get an out anywhere... perhaps a Triple Play!
Wow - 3-2-3 DP.
And Fullmer pulls a horseshoe deep out of somewhere to get out of the inning
Maybe he has some Susan Sarandon undergarment in his back pocket.
We have anyone to pitch tonight?
No bullpen versus starters not going more than five innings. Which gives in first?
Twins scratch and claw their way to a lead and then one pitch to the Yanks its tied up. Sums up the last 20 years
I think you nit the nail on what's bothered me about the history between the Twins and Yankees. The fact that the Yankees make it look so effortless, while the Twins struggle for every last ounce of offense.
And even one player's critical injury is a disadvantage, let alone
twothreesevenwhat are we up to now?A home run and running up Cole's pitch count...cool coolcoolcool.
Kiner Falefa came into this series with 1 home run
he now has 3
😐
Oofta

One again teams running on Jake Cave (!!!)
