It appears that the Twins replacement players are not quite up to snuff when facing a team that's appeared in three of the last five World Series. Here's a log for the game that wasn't postponed last night...already in progress.
Play ball!

2022 Game Log 30: Astros at Twins
Woo boy! We have one of those future hall of fame pitchers vs. a young up and coming ace head-to-head tonight at Target Field. Reminds me of back in 2006 when Francisco Liarano faced Roger Clemens. Verlander v. Ryan tonight and check out these stats:
| x | Ryan | Verlander |
|---|---|---|
| Age | 25 | 39 |
| Starts | 10 | 459 |
2022
| Stat | Ryan | Verlander |
|---|---|---|
| ERA | 1.63 | 1.93 |
| FIP | 3.08 | 3.23 |
| AVG | .167 | .168 |
| OPS | .516 | .493 |
| WHIP | 0.83 | 0.70 |
| K-BB% | 19.8% | 22.9% |
| W-L | 3-1 | 3-1 |
Should be a humdinger and Byron Buxton should be back in the line up. First pitch at 6:40p and looks like a gorgeous night for baseball.

2021 World Series Game 6
Will Atlanta fulfill Plouffe's prediction? Soler's monster shot over the train tracks does help.
This could be the final MLB game for too many months so I plan on enjoying what I can.
Game 112 – Twins @ Houston
Pineda yesterday means Maeda today.
It is oddly satisfying to me that the Twins kept two rhyming starters in their rotation after the trade deadline. I tried to come up with a fun couplet to describe the rotation, but I have been informed that Twins pitching and fun aren't allowed to go together.
2021 Game 109: Twins at Astros
Game Time - 7:10 p.m. CDT
The Twins made multiple deals ahead of the trade deadline last week as they "retool for the future." No word on when that future is expected to arrive. Fans are asked to remain patient while the retooling process is underway.
Griffin Jax on the mound for the Twins today. He's 1-1 in 3 starts with a 6.41 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP, so there's some room for improvement here. Framber Valdez takes the ball for the Astros. He's got a 7-2 record, a 3.01 ERA, and a 1.30 WHIP. Play ball!
GAME 65: Astros @ Twins
Once again, the Twins split Friday and Saturday's games and so come into Sunday with a chance to win the series.
The all rookie outfield of Kirilloff-Gordon-Larnach pulled out a win last night. Today we get Refsnyder-Celestino-Larnach. Hopefully the revolving door slows its spin just a little bit going forward.
Pineda on the mound for the Twins, he's had two short stats starts in June, so the seven innings from Berrios last night are really nice.

Astros try to hold off elimination, they're bound to win at least one. The Dodgers meanwhile figured out how to score against the Braves but now have to pair that with not letting them score even more.
