2022 Game Log 69 – Guardians at Twins
Twins and Guardians in the first of 8 games over a 11 day stretch to determine who is can take the reins of the AL Central Division. Cleveland always seems to be competitive even when they dump salary -- bringing in a new stable of pitchers that seem to have a MLB future. Luckily tonight may not be one of those nights as right-hander Aaron Civale on the mound for the Guardians after a stint on the Injured List. Even before his injury, Civale hasn't pitched that great and hopefully Twins bats can take advantage
Joe Ryan up for the Twins as he looks to get back to his pre-Covid form as we head into the the summer section of the season.
Looks like a nice night for baseball with first pitch at 6:40.

2022 Game Log 64 – Twins at Mariners
Twins back with a late night (for us Midwesterners) tilt in Seattle. Finally, after 3 weeks sidelined due to COVID, Joe Ryan back on the mound for the Twins. Yay!! We missed you Joe. Seattle goes with probably their best pitcher this year, Logan Gilbert. He's been pretty good with a 6-2 record, ERA under 2.5, and 1.08 WHIP.
Twins getting close to its "A" line up so I'm expecting to read good things tomorrow when I wake up.
First Pitch at 9:10p Central time.
Twins Lineup:
2B - Arraez
DH - Buxton
SS - Correa

2022 Game Log 57 – Yankees at Twins
You hate to say it but the Yankees have been really good this year, especially its pitching:
Team ERA: 2.74, first
WHIP: 1.04, first
Opponent average: .210, first
Twins come in feeling pretty good about themselves after winning two of three in Toronto with a depleted staff and now some players coming back from the restricted list, Covid list, and injuries. It's not a full squad yet, but getting closer.
Jamison Taillon on for the Yankees and like the rest of the staff, he's been lights out this year. Looks like the Twins will use Cole Sands with his 7.88 ERA and 1.63 WHIP tonight. Maybe both pitchers can regress to the mean and we get a Twins victory.
First Pitch at 6:40
Twins Lineup
1B - Arraez
DH - Buxton
2B - Polanco
RF - Kepler
C - Sanchez

Don Osborn won 201 games in the minors. He later was a minor league manager, pitching coach, and scout.
Some old-timers say Steve Dalkowski had the fastest fastball ever. He struck out 1,396 batters in 995 minor league innings. However, he also walked 1,354, which is why he never made the majors.
We also wish a happy birthday to hungry joe's son, Ravenous Rick!
