Pablo Lopez!
Through three starts, he's been very very good and there's not a whole lot of things more fun to watch in baseball than a really good pitcher pitching really well for your team.
The Twins will either take three of four on the road in New York or end up with a series split in the most disappointing way by dropping the final two games of the series.
I have to say I like their chances with Pablo on the mound.
The Yankees are pitching some no name starter who probably doesn't even throw that hard (Gerrit Cole), so I'll just assume the Twins have the upper hand here.
I didn't know Garrett Cole was still pitching.
Rocco should ask the Hoye to check Cole every inning today.
Byron Buxton really racking up the strikeouts this weekend
Dick: "there is a new pitch out there called a 'slutter''"
LaTroy: *guffaws*
Dick: "which is a hybrid between a cutter and a slider"
....
LaTroy:"What did you say, is that a new pitch, the slutter?"
Dick: "I havent called it that but you know thats the new term..."
LaTroy: "Yeahs thats new new. We had that back in the late 90s"
Dick:"Same pitch but it didnt have that name on it"
LaTroy: "It had that name, we just never talked about it on the air"
😆
Miranda has made some pretty nice throws from third over the last couple games.
OAA doesn't split up the various components, but does have him at average so far in the season. Correa, Farmer, and Taylor all are +1 in fielding while Julien has already managed -1 runs.
Nice zone, blue.
He is the ump that allowed Sticky Hands German to continue to pitch
I'm glad I missed that when it happened, so stupid. On the other hand, the Twins are at least going to split this series and the Yankees had to cheat in one game to make it that way, so that's a positive read on it.
Im pleased with a split but I really want a series win
For sure, I'm just not super confident right now with the ass bats in full force.
Stopped by to see if *ass bats* had been revived for the season.

One of Bat-Girl's greatest contributions to humanity, along with LegoVision.
Buuuuullllllsh!t HBP call
The ball clearly hit the ground before Rizzo’s foot.
I thought I saw that clear as day
I don't see anything in the rulebook that a hit-by-pitch has to hit them on the fly
Rizzo made no attempt to avoid the pitch. Thus, no HBP.
Forget it,
JakeCH, it's the Bronx.a hit would be nice
Finally!
I should have asked for multiple runs
If Gallo’s at first, Volpe is out.
Pablo thought that was out
Yeah, applaud a pitch thrown at a guy’s head. What a garbage fanbase.
Multiple runs for the Twins would be great
I’m surprised Hoye didn’t call Solano out after a Yankme in the dugout clearly caught the ball.
Kepler’s going to hate playing his home games in the Kyocera Dome.
Dick & LaTroy are talking about this, and I don’t know why they aren’t citing the outfield wall minimum distance rule exemption MLB granted the Yankmes when they abandoned old Yankee Stadium.
