2023 Game 135: Friday Night Lights – Twins at Texas

27 Comments

In a rematch of the one game Texas took last week, Max Scherzer pitches against Joe Ryan. I think this was the game Texas won. I can't be bothered to double check.

With the moves Cleveland made to bolster their pitching, the season seems to have taken on a bit of a desperate tone. Starting a big series against the 1st 2nd 3rd place Rangers, with Scherzer on the mound, makes it all feel even more dire. This is the fun baseball - the games that seem to really count. A win tonight would feel huge.

And maybe that's what this year's team has really been about - the feelings. They go through stretches that feel way more brutal than they actual are. They go through stretches that feel way more amazing then they actual are. The feelings on this team are ratched up to 11, somehow. It strikes me as way different than a lot of the past iterations.

And I'm kind of good with it. At least, that's how I feel right now.

    3. Small sample size but Wallner is .146/.180/.313 versus lefties so far in his career (50 PAs). Luplow has been bad this year but for his career he's hit 224/.335/.493 against lefties.

      1. Checking his MiLB splits in 2022 and 2023, Wallner has hit lefties well (reverse splits this year and regular but still very good last year). It worked great today but the Twins need to not make him a platoon player yet.

  12. welp
