We can experience something tonight that has not been aacomplished since 2001. With a Twins victory tonight they will take the season series from the Yankees. Twins have Joe Ryan on the mound and he's been quite effective this year with a 4-0 record, 0.89 WHIP and 10.4 k/9 innings. Nestor Cortes for the Yankees and he's been pretty decent this year as well, even though he took the loss against the Twins last week at Yankee Stadium. Should be a nice, if chilly evening for baseball.
In addition we have Wild and Wolves playoffs tonight. Feel free to use this post to comment as well. Game times are actually Midwest friendly with the Wild set to start at 7:00p and the Wolves at 8:00p. Loons also play tonight against Detroit in the USA Open Cup at 6:30p. So depending on your sport, you are covered tonight. If you just like Football, I guess you can take tonight to put the finishing touches on your mock draft board.
First pitch at 6:40.
The Twins are not available to me on TV tonight, as BSN is operating under the mistaken belief that playoff basketball and hockey are more important than regular season baseball.
The kids ate hoping for the same score in each MN sports game tonight (+100 for basketball). Results are less important to them.
Double or nothing if they're all in OT
Donnie Barrels is my pick to click tonight, because why not?
That's a nice start...
At least the refs have been consistent in their terrible calls against Foligno
Intermission report: 4 analysts breaking down the bs nature of the call. Rules analyst, as always, defending the refs. The fact that all 4 of the others were in agreement tells you everything.
I'll add here: calls be darned, the Wild are broken on both ends of the special teams play, and that seems to explain the series results so far.
I’m at this thing. Solano is the source of much consternation.
Early farm report:
St. Paul leads Rochester 14-1 in the ninth. Michael Helman has hit two home runs, one of them a grand slam.
Springfield leads Wichita 3-2 in the third. DaShawn Keirsey, Jr. is 2-for-2 with a triple.
Cedar Rapids and West Michigan are scoreless in the seventh. Starter Kyle Jones pitched five shutout innings.
Daytona leads Fort Myers 4-2 in the ninth. Ricky Mineo pitched three shutout innings of relief.
If Jorge is in a slump Aaron Hicks catches that ball. But since he is on fire it just misses his glove and goes for a double.
2 BUX
should get an extra RBI for that bat flip
Okay, Solano’s misdeeds are forgotten in the park.
LARNACH!!!!!
That's what happens when you don't throw breaking balls to Larnach.
I like this new, not intimidating Yankees squad.
You know, this Gallo signing keeps looking like a good move.
Heckuva play, Jorge.
Its good to be throwing that to a gargantuan first baseman as well.
Glad I switched to the Twins.
Missing the busy sports night because I'm seeing Hamlet at the Guthrie (this production includes an intermission after Act III, Scene 1). So far, it's great, but the very proper enunciations of certain words by Hamlet have almost made me laugh a few times because he sounds exactly like Captain Raymond Holt.
I’ve never seen Hamlet. I should probably correct that given I enjoyed Brooklyn 99!
I really want to see that performance but man the next few weeks is jammed packed for me.
And 37 years and nine months later, I finally attended my first win against these idiots.
About damn time! Let's do it again tomorrow
Saints ✅
Loons ✅
Twins ✅
Wolves (leading)
Wild (ummmm)
That the Twins’ first season series win agains the Yankees since…?
Holy sh!t, since TK was the manager!
The Twins All Stars that year

Reads the first sentence of the game log and cries a little inside. 😉
Sorry, free. I was late, so I cut through the kitchen rather than walk through the main entrance.
If KAT is a Timberwolves player next season he needs to remember how rugged he played this game and apply it to every game
We're still on track for 152-10!
