Apparently the Braves are worse than the Twins? When did this happen?

2025 Game 14: Tigers at Twins
David Festa gets the call to step in for Pablo Lopez tonight. He pitched way more last year than I realized (13 starts!), and hopefully he's grown as both a pitcher and a person since then. Not that I know anything about him personally, I just generally like the idea of people continuing to improve themselves in any way. We can all get on board with that, right?
Reese Olson goes for Detroit, and hopefully the Twins' offense breaks him to pieces. See what I did there? Because his name is Reese?
Also because our offense has been bad...
Anyway, this is the first Friday game of the year, so... enjoy the Twins on a Friday night, I guess?
Decemberists – Burial Ground
Possibly my favorite moment of the entire year was driving in my van with the entire family and this song came on our Summer Mix. By the end of the song all 6 of us were singing along, with a few of my kids finding harmony parts and really just leaning into the whole thing. It was great.
Also, yes, this one was already posted, but half-baked.

December 26, 2024: Back In the Office
Anyone else back in the office today? I am. Multiple client meetings and a hearing to prepare for tomorrow. Midweek Christmas is weird.
2024 Game 141: Twins at Royals
Zebby tries it again. Hopefully it goes better this time.
2024 Game 134: Blue Jays at Twins
Hi, I'm at the game!
Pablo Lopez goes against Kevin Gausman.
2024 Game 128: Cardinals at Twins
The Cardinals seem like a less irritating team when they're hovering around .500. Not that they're ever Yankees or Dodgers irritating, just... irritating because you respect them.
Anyway, they're not as irritating this year.
Andre Pallante goes against David Festa, who I'm surprised to see already has 4 decisions this year.
2024 Game 108: White Sox at Twins
Joe Ryan, who has 2 first names, pitches against Davis Martin, who has a last name and a first name, but in the wrong places? Or just two last names?
2024 Game 102: The Future Is Now – Twins @ Tigers
What do you notice about this lineup?
Castro
Buxton
Larnach
Lewis
Kepler
Santana
Wallner
Lee
Vazquez
Yup, Royce Lewis and Brooks Lee in the same lineup. This has been the dream for a while now, and, hopefully it stays the dream for the next decade or so.
Also, Pablo Lopez pitches against Keider Montero.
2024 Game 94: Twins at Giants
Well, they might be.
This is the final series before the All-Star Break and the Twins have been absolutely capturing that old cliche of "win series, and you'll be fine." They've won 6 series in a row and have narrowed Cleveland's lead to 4.5 games, and they've crept closer to that #1 WC spot too. Another good weekend heading into the break should really cement the good feelings.
Joe Ryan pitches against Kyle Harrison.
Now, for some Twins/Giants overlap music to take you into the game...
