Giants, you say?
Jordan Hicks for San Fran and Chris Paddack for Minnesota.
Also, I love when the local teams are matching up against teams from the same city at the same time.

Joe Ryan gets the start against Brayan Bello, and the Twins try to get off this cursed losing skid.
Welcome back Pablo Lopez!
Kyle Hendricks goes for the Angels.
Apparently the Braves are worse than the Twins? When did this happen?
Chris Paddack against Bryce Elder.
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?
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.
Anyone else back in the office today? I am. Multiple client meetings and a hearing to prepare for tomorrow. Midweek Christmas is weird.
Zebby tries it again. Hopefully it goes better this time.
Hi, I'm at the game!
Pablo Lopez goes against Kevin Gausman.
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.
