2024 Game 146: Angels of Anaheim at Minnesota Twins
Jack Kochanowicz
vs
Zebby Matthews
One game isn't enough to cleanse the ineptitude of the prior week but it's certainly nice to see.
This is Kochanowicz's rookie season and he has an interesting pitching line so far. He's pitched 38 ⅔ innings and struck out merely 12. To be fair to him, he spent the first four months of the season in AA. He hasn't been terrible, but duplicating Nick Blackburn's line in 2024 is a tough thing to do.

September 11, 2024: 23 Years
Flags at half staff and the ladder truck in town with a giant flag hanging from it had me explaining 9/11 to Niblet on the way to school this morning. Answering the, “Why did they hate us?” question was not on my Twingo card for this morning.
