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...
2024 Game 82: Twins at Seattle, the Streak Continues
It has been well established that this year's Twins are very streaky. They've currently won 2 games. Thus, they will win a minimum of 21 more in a row before losing.
Bailey Ober against Logan Gilbert
2024 Game 63: 100 Left and they start at the Pirates
100 games into the season and I feel like the Twins have gotten all of the hard stuff out of the way - the injuries, the best teams, the long losing streaks, etc. I know that's not how it really works, but that's how it feels. These next 100 are going to be great.
We start with Joe Ryan against Mitch Keller.
2024 Game 57: Twins Get Revenge At Astros
"Hey, these are the jerks who eliminated us from the playoffs last year."
"Hey, yeah!"
"It is them!"
"I thought so!"
"Let's get 'em guys!"
And so they did.
Starting with Pablo Lopez finding his stuff against Ronel Blanco, who lost his.
2024 Game 50: Texas Teams At Minnesota Teams
Bailey Ober pitches for the Twins against Jose Urena.
Then the Wolves play. Go Minnesotas!
