Pablo López
vs
Luis Severino
Another Wednesday day game.
After a forgettable opener, a lackluster deadline, followed by a lackluster performance by the bats again last night, I'm instead thankful for the blackout rules preventing me from watching any New York games.
I was taken with another Þorvaldsdóttir composition recently that doesn't seem to exist as a live video anywhere, but my searching led me to this one.

Fun fact: I got to visit Harpa Concert Hall ever so briefly on my first day in Iceland.
And here's a trailer for the piece I'd wanted to play:

It’ll get ya.
Ouch! Twins got spanked yesterday out in Queens, which is disappointing after taking two of three from both the Phillies and Tigers. Guardians have been scuffling along as well but Twins haven't been able to take advantage. I'm sure however by the end of today's trading deadline some reinforcements will be brought to the clubhouse. WAIT WAIT is that Rodney Dobnak's music I'm hearing.... Cue up the parade route Governor Flanagan, looks like the Twins added a playoff-seasoned veteran.
David Festa for the Twins tonight and while he's shown some ability in the minors, he's had a tough time up at the bigs. Hopefully it's just a matter of time as the Twins could use a decent performance tonight. Sean Manaea for the Mets and he has beautiful hair.
Game time 6:10.
