Oh, you only get to pick a team once each season. Good to know.

2021 Game 152: Minnesota Twins at Chicago Cubs
Joe Ryan
vs
Kyle Hendricks
Joe Ryan received a few extra days off but avoided a trip to the IL. Kyle Hendricks lost whatever mojo he had and his now not that good. He's given up the most hits in MLB this season.

2021 Game Log #151 – Twins at Cubs
We are definitely at the play out the string portion of the schedule. I am sure Twins players are now in the middle of scheduling events in October that don't include "show up at the park and play baseball." The Twins would have to go 8-4 over these last 12 games to stay under 90 loses but at this point does it matter if they lose 89 or 91 games? I would hope that some of the younger players see this as an opportunity to shine a bit, get a good start for 2022 but then again, with no stakes involved, does it really matter?
Griffin Jax on the mound for the Twins and he's a guy you'd like to keep making strides so that he has a place on the 2022 roster. Alec Mills for the Cubs.
Game time 6:40p, looks like a very nice day for fall baseball in Chicago.

Huh, I hadn't realized the Twins were coming to Wrigley. Since they both suck, I wonder if there are some cheap tickets...
