Twins been playing well lately so no better time to show up at the Bronx for a three gamer against the Yankees. Yanks appear to be great this year - mashing and pitching (I'm not going to look up their fielding stats). Judge and Soto just crushed the Giants this past weekend in a manner rarely seen. No worries, Twins at Yankee Stadium always seems to work Minnesota's way. I'm hearing from the control booth that this is incorrect.
Luis Gil on the mound for the Yankees and he's been lights out this year. Nice little discussion in the CoC this morning about past Twins connections/possibilities. Bailey Ober for the Twins so seems like another mis-match. Royce Lewis back for the Twins (and batting 5th) so at least we have that to look forward to. I'm all negative here but the Yankees just seem on another planet this season so let's at least get one game over the next few days and move on to the rest of the schedule. It's summer and lots of time for great baseball.
Game on TBS but not sure if blacked out in Minnesota.
First Pitch: 6:05p.
Wondering just how many cumulative innings we can go without scoring against the Yankmes
I'm gonna set the over/under at 35. Betting window is open.
There's still time for my MLB career so I'm going to avoid any bets for a few more years.
Ober got robbed.
Oy, that call was even worse than it looked in live action.
In Lewis we trust.
This is why Royce is back.
Under gets a chicken dinner.
Provus is tossing around FanGraphs and Baseball Savant in the booth. Not sure Dick was ever going to get that far into the moneyball stuff.
I've had Dick's autobiography on my bedstand for many many months and still haven't read Bert's intro let any of the rest of it.
