2025 Game 44: Twins at Orioles

The Twins are looking for another sweep of Baltimore today after taking both ends of yesterday's double header. The offense has kicked in, the bullpen has been improving and the starters appear to be hitting their strides in earnest and getting stretched out a bit more. Paddack is back on the mound today, his last start was damn good and very efficient. Hopefully he can repeat that today. The orange birds counter with Tomoyuki Sugano. The 35-year old righthander is 4-2 with a 2.72 ERA  and a low 1.01 WHIP.

Play ball!

2025 Game Log 42-43 – Twins at Orioles

Rainout Tuesday, this can be game log for the doubleheader.

Wow, what a difference a week makes. Twins on a 8-game win streak that basically saved their season and made everyone excited for summer baseball. Pitching has definitely been the the difference maker, both starters and relievers, but it does look like the ass bats have been put away for a while too. Twins have barely made ground in the standings with the win streak but nothing insurmountable. Also makes upcoming series against Royals, Tigers, and Guardians that much more fun. Bring it!

The scuffling Orioles up next and they just seem like a tired beat down team. Which is too bad, they've been one the fun baseball stories these past few years. Simeon Woods Richardson for the Twins, Cade Povich for the O's. I see the streak hitting 9 games tonight.

First Pitch at 11:05a. Second Game 30 minutes after the end of game one.

2025 Game Log 36 – Orioles at Twins… PLUS Wolves vs. Warriors

Twins back at home after a so-so road trip where beating the Red Sox was nice, but losing three close games to the Guardians was a gut punch. Next up, the surprisingly mediocre Baltimore Orioles who stumble into town with a 13-20 record.

Pablo Lopez on the mound for the Twins with his second start after coming back from IR. He's pitched solidly this year but would be great to see Lopez be even more effective now that the weather is turning warmer. Cade Povich for the O's and after a rough start to the season, he may be turning things around.

Finally, Royce Lewis makes his 2025 debut tonight. Looks like a DH stint to start off. Hopefully Royce is a tonic for the ass bats Twins seem to still wield these days.

Looks like a glorious night for baseball with first pitch at 6:40.

ALSO...

Game one of the NBA Western Conference semis tonight at Target Center. Wolves against Warriors. We can use this as the game log. Tip-off scheduled for 8:30ish(?)

2024 Game Log 16 – Twins at Orioles

Twins a not nice 6-9 headed into the second game against the Orioles in Baltimore. Baltimore is definitely one of those teams hard to root against. Were terrible for many years but slowly built a team and organization that looks like it could be a force for a couple of years.

Grayson Rodriguez up the Orioles and he's one of those young guys a team can really build around. Tall, a fastball that hits upper 90's with a nice slider to keep hitters honest. Only 24 years old too. Over a strikeout per inning so Twins may have a hard time not adding to their league leading strikeout totals. Chris Paddock on for the Twins and he's done ok this year. Hopefully we can go further than the 5th inning this outing.

Freealonzo's "Take it to the Credit Union" surefire winner: Buxton HR/SO total=3

First Pitch at 5:35p
