Twins at The Rate for the first time this year against the comically bad White Sox. White Sox have spent the first month of the year mixing poor pitching and lousy batting to their usual menu of atrocious fielding which unsurprisingly has led to a sub .300 record. You hate to see it.
Michael Kopech on the mound for the Whities and even though the Twins can bring out the ass bats with the worst of them, hopefully Kopech's 7.01 ERA and 1.71 WHIP will strike no fear in Twins batters hearts. Joe Ryan puts his undefeated record on the line and looking to add a league leading 6th win to his 2023 totals.
Looks like a chilly but dry night for baseball on the Southside tonight. First pitch scheduled for 6:10.
Twins Lineup:
DH - Byron Buxton
2B - Jorge Polanco
SS - Carlos Correa
LF - Trevor Larnach
3B - Jose Miranda
RF - Max Kepler
1B - Joey Gallo
C - Christian Vázquez
CF - Michael A. Taylor
oooh 6 o'clock start!
Twins batters with at least 40 PA, by OPS+, lowest five:
a hit by a Twins batter would be nice
NO HITTER ALERT
a hit!
"It was...inevitable."
Well...that was a weak rally
Very Ryanesque game tonight
Playing Three Dog Night in Comiskey? Didn’t realize Lance Johnson was playing for the Hosers again…
Err, got my #-Dogs messed up. Apologies to Willie Davis.
*forehead smack*
López not looking good tonight.
Okay, show some urgency batters -- this is the White Sox
BOOM BOOM GORDON!
Nick Gordon (maybe) returns his OPS+ to positive territory.
So, are the guys watching Kent Hrbek Outdoors in the clubhouse, or…?
That was apparently, more or less, where Lopez got the idea.
I think you stumbled upon the next Twins commercial
Oh man, do I wish I could pitch it.
Uhhh, Brock Stewart?
Hey, it's not Kohl
I think Chicago wins the challenge, but that was close.
can we get a statcast on how far Nick Gordon had to run for that popout
wiggle wiggle wiggle
Add a couple more wiggles
so, no Jhoan tonight?
Not until the Twins get a lead, silly
Oh fer dumb.
Meat Raffle gets the righties out , cant get the lefty. oof
Another ERA-lowering loss -- good job, offense
