Ten games in and I think we can see a definite pattern here. Twins starting pitching is pretty good and the hitters not so much. Ten games is practically the definition of SSS so I'm still in a wait in see situation, especially as it relates to pitching.
Old Twin friend Lance Lynn on the mound for the Whities and he's been terrible this year, again SSS but he has an ERA of 9.0 and a WHIP of 1.90. Yikes! New staff ace Pablo Lopez on for the Twins and I'm really looking forward to see how he does at Target Field.
Should be a gorgeous night for baseball and given game times this year, you can wrap up this game and move directly to Twolves-Lakers without missing a beat!
First pitch at 6:40.
Twins Lineup
Gallo to the IL, sound like Julien being called up
The injury revolving door is starting up.
Disappointed that Gallo is the latest to go on the IL, but excited to see Julian’s debut (probably tomorrow).
I'll need someone to talk me out of this.
Did anyone have “Twins force the pitcher spot into the batting order in regulation innings only
teneleven games into the season” on their Roster Depth bingo card?The Twins came close yesterday, but they might get there today.
López with a Target Field debut case of the Bradkes, it seems.
Vintage Radke it seems.
Well, not a great start for Minnesota sports on such an important night.
coulda been worse?
Lance Lynn, one of my least favorite (active) former Twins.
He has pitched well everywhere he's been, except Minnesota.
BUXTON!!!
100 BUX!
That'll work.
"The Bux is back in town, the bux is back in town..."
Michael Awesome Taylor
MAT!
Miranda hit the broad side of the barn there.
Okay, who spilled their chili dog on Vásquez’s helmet?
Let's get some add on runs
Those White Sox road greys have been around since the days of Black Jack McDowell but still look super fresh.
They made a great call when they dropped red & blue. Dick Allen would’ve looked awesome in these unis.
I ❤️ Luis
Arráez just hit for the cycle — the first Marlin to collect one.
López looks as advertised; I’ll always miss Arráez.
The Fish have had some really good hitters over the years and played in that cavernous Joe Robbie Stadium for a lot of years, surprised someone like Gary Sheffield didnt have one
23 batters in a row retired?
Whoa.
Bring the fire*, Jhoan
*and the fake fire
Wrong fire
GOSO
blah
less than desirable
Ump took a bounce off the ground into his mask and then a 103MPHer into his ankle on the next pitch.
Ugh.
That was one hell of a relay to get Vazquez out
Oh yay, Manfred zombie time.
Umps got the call wrong twice.
Seems to me that close calls never get overturned unless it's someone stealing second and hovering a milimeter off the bag
LOL he was safe!
Nice work Jax
Jax on, Jax off.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!
TWINS BASEBALL!!
lol
Lopez didn't deserve to have the win taken from him, so I'm glad they got it over with quickly and lolSox-ly.
"Sox-ly" 😆
Ah, the schadenfreude.
That was easy.
Not gonna gloat -- not long ago we were there.
Oh heck, yes I'm going to gloat
