I was tweeting with friends during the last Wolves game, and every time I responded to something they said, the platform sent me a pop up asking if I'd like to upgrade to make sure more people saw my posts. I'm guessing the people I was responding directly to saw my responses.
Happy Birthday–May 3

2025 Game 32: Twins at Guardinias
Here's a game log. It's a day game. I didn't realize we had a game today, but I guess we do. They're warming up right now.
Woods-Richardson and his 4.06 ERA are starting for the Twins, Ben Lively with a 4.40 ERA for the Guardians so we'll set the over/under for combined runs at 8.5.
Play ball!
