2025 Twins Game Logs

2025 Game Log 18 – Mets at Twins

22 Comments

I think we have come to the conclusion that the Twins have had an ugly start to the season. Winning percentage under .300, ass bats signed up for an extended stay, key players injured, bad defense and poor baserunning on top of it all. It's especially disappointing since it's pretty similar to how the Twins ended the last six weeks of the 2024 season. Fans are voting with their pocket book too by not showing up at games. Last night had an announced crowd of just over 10,000 but by all accounts, maybe 7,000 in the attendance (granted it was a cold, blustery, wet night). With Wild and T-wolves in the playoffs and NFL draft in 9 days, probably even less attention granted to the Twins at least through April.

Bailey Ober on the mound and he's pitched well after his opening "I'm actually kind sick" first start. Tyler Migell (brother of former Twin Taylor Migell) for the Mets. So no relief in sight for the ass bats. Also the weather should be a lot better, although still in low 50s by first pitch.

Game time at 6:40 and this game is on "over the air" TV - FOX 9 (KMSP-TV).

Another poor performance from Twins bats yesterday as they fall to 3-7 for the season. After 10 games Twins have a collective .199 AVG and a .581 OPS which is not going to win you a lot of games, regardless of how well the pitching staff does.

Pablo Lopez on the mound and except for a few opening day early inning jitters, he's been pretty decent this year. Cole Ragans for the Royals.

Game time 6:40.

I have it on good authority that the Twins have been involved in an elaborate April Fools prank. Apparently the gist of it is that they play absolutely horrible for four games to start the season, giving up an average of 7 runs a game, play bad defense, don't hit, weird managerial strategies, puzzling broadcast decisions. The whole lot. Get the fan base and all up in arms and the sports scribes moving on to the who the Vikings should draft in the 6th round. Then, on April 1st, it's all APRIL FOOLS! We are actually a good team that is professionally run and managed and they play lights out the rest of the season.

Seems like a dumb strategy, but you know the lengths some organizations will go to pull of an April Fools stunt.

Simeon Wood Richardson on the mound for the Twins. Shane Smith for the Whities. I think he's a reliever so unless the Sox are looking to convert him to a starter, looks like he may be the Opener.

First pitch at 6:40 from The Rate.
