2023 Game Log 152 – Twins at Reds

With a Magic number of 5 over the Guardians and 4 over the Tigers, Twins somewhat playing out the string of the season over these last dozen games or so. Bullpen match ups being tested, multi-positional players getting time at first base, etc. The Reds however are in a dogfight with four teams within a half a game of two remaining Wild Card spots so every game counts for them.

Kenta Maeda up for the Twins and had a very nice start last week. Would be nice to see that through the end of the season and maybe he gets the 3rd start over Joe Ryan if it gets that far in the Wildcard series. Fernando Cruz up for the Reds. He's typically a reliever so not sure if Reds are doing a bullpen game.

Game time at 5:40. Cleveland plays at 6:40 and Tigers after 9:00.

2023 Game 148: Twins at White Sox – Trending Up

Listening to the radio broadcast last night, Gladden made it perfectly clear that this was a White Sox team that would happily give the game away if the other team stayed close. Sure enough, a small lead turned into a laughable lead late. Will this trend repeat itself tonight? Hopefully!

Bailey Ober goes against the 1-8 Jesse Scholtens. It seems like usually the assbats come out against guys like Scholtens, so hopefully that is a trend that isn't repeated.

2023 Game 147: Twins at Bitch Sox

If only there were some way for me to know when it's Thursday...

This is not a game log. It is a reasonable facsimile of a game log thrown together at the last minute when I realized it was not an off day. But it is here.

Twins haven't been winning enough lately, but neither has anyone else in the AL Central so the magic number keeps dropping. Maeda vs. Urena (how do you make an enyay in WordPress?) on the mound.

Play ball!

2023 Game 146: Tampa Bay Rays at Minnesota Twins

Taj Bradley
vs
Dallas Keuchel

Another Wednesday, another day game.

Another surprisingly decent start by Keuchel against the Mets. Now he's facing an actually good team. This is also the final game the Twins have against a good team this season. Yes, it's only game 146. Next up is a road trip against the White Sox and Reds (75-71 right now). After that it's a gentle stretch into the postseason with the Angels and Athletics visiting before the final series in Denver.

2023 Game Log 145 – Rays at Twins

Twins slow march to the Central Division title continues with a second game against the really good Tampa Bay Rays. Twins once again at 6 games over .500 after reaching a season high 8 games over on Saturday. Joe Ryan on the mound for the Twins. Former Twin Zach Little pitching for the Rays. My sources list Zach Little as a reliever so not sure if this is a bullpen game for the Rays. However, he did pitch 8 pretty solid innings last week so perhaps Little is being stretched out to be a starter.

Twins Magic Number now 11 for both Guardians and Tigers.

Game time 6:40.
