Game two against the Astros and their murderer's row of pitchers. Dallas Keuchel has been decent this year with a 3.27 ERA and 0-1 record. He in fact responsible for half of Houston's losses this year. Jake Odorizzi on the mound for the Twins, and looking to add to his stellar opening day outing.
Game at 7:10. Will be a little warmer, but not much. Would be nice to get some hot bats to warm up the crowd.
Cold? Shoulda put a roof on it.
's.I'm looking at my AtBat app and it's telling me today's game is postponed due to inclement weather. I'm looking out my window and don't see any precipitation falling in any form. I'm looking at my weather app and the radar shows the snow won't even start falling until 4:00 pm or so. If this game is really postponed, somebody screwed the pooch on the call.
hj: sorry, gonna hijack this post. like one of those weird bugs that eats a fish's tongue then takes the tongue's place. nibbs, spoonto, you should check those out.
So. Anyone for another Berrios shutout? Yeah. That would be swell.
Home Opener!
Kyle Gibson
vs
James Paxton
Paxton had a very good year in 2017. Let's hope he carries his first start over (4.2 IP, 6H, 6R, 6ER), and not his 2.98 ERA, 143 ERA+, 2.61 FIP from last season.
Gibson gonna Gibson... did you know he had identical 5.07 ERA's in each of the past two seasons? (83 & 87 ERA+, 4.70 & 4.85 FIP's respectively). He was not efficient in his first start. We'll see what happens.
Joined in progress. Josh Bell has a two-run homer for the Pirates already.
Here’s your pinch-hit game log.
Lance Lynn will take the ball in his Twins debut, while Jameson Taillon makes his first start of the season.
PNC Park is the top of my Ballparks To Visit list. From everything I’ve heard, it’s one of the few modern ballparks that might rival the LOL for Best in MLB honors.
Okay, how do you do this again? Just put the words in this box thing and press enter? Wait. Is there a button to click or anything? Oh, hell. Don't worry, I'll get the hang of this again eventually. Berrios on the mound today, I'm expecting great things. Play ball!
Well, game one was plenty entertaining. Can game two live up to it. Can the Twins one up it by actually coming away with the victory?
We shall see.
Day game alert!
Jake Odorizzi

Dylan Bundy
Finishing at .500 would not be considered a success this year, would it? With that being the case, I wonder if we get 424 comments today?
