Game 88: twins @ rangers
Smeltzer vs Perez
Perez has never posted above 2.3 rWAR in a season. He already has 3.1 this season alone. Let's delay that journey a bit.
Time to get back on track!

We (well, some of us) are back!
We kept our focus on the Twins. Here are our topics!
-For discussion: Which shower beer goes best with your shower Reuben?
-The bullpen: Such as it is.
-The rotation: it's not bad!
-The lineup: Also not bad (Do the All Star managers still get to pick players?)
-Wait, are we actually a little optimistic about the Twins!?
Also, some video picks!

Martin Sexton – Diggin Me
I started a new tag with Ms. Apple called "Voice as instrument". No one deserves that honor more than Mr. Sexton.

I'm a little shocked this is the first time I've played him.

If no video gets updated I'm just going to drop a GBV song here.
2022 Game 85: Minnesota Twins at Chicago White Sox
Joe Ryan
vs
Lance Lynn
Lynn's first start against the Twins this year. He missed the first two months and was not good when he returned in June. That changed with his July 1 start against the Giants where he went six scoreless. Last year he was very good versus the Twins, surrendering only four runs across four starts. Thankfully the Twins still managed to go 2-2 in those games. Today is as good as any to reverse that luck and bring back the Lance Lynn the Twins experienced in 2018.

Everyone still loves Fiona Apple at least, right?
2022 Game Log 84 – Twins at Whities
Twins back at it at the Rate against the stumbling White Sox. It would be nice to keep the boot on Chicago's neck so that they go away quietly this summer, but not so bad that TLR get's fired. It's a fine line to hew.
Chris Archer back up for the Twins and while he rarely if ever gets past the 6th inning, he's been a decent back of the order guy. I just wish the Twins had more front of the order guys in their pitching stable. Kopech on deck for the White Sox and although his win/loss record doesn't reflect it, he's been decent this year with nearly a strikeout an inning and a 1.03 WHIP.
Apparently Josh Winder will be starting. Chris Archer has been scratched. I may add more here if I find out the reason./
First Pitch at 7:10, but it looks like nasty weather heading toward Chicago. This game may be delayed or postponed.
