2024 Game Log XL – Minnesota Twins at Toronto Blue Jays
Ober had to use a lot of pitches, but gets out of the first no problem. Manoah on the mound for the Jays. Hopefully he continues to be disappointing.
2024 Game 38: Minnesota at Toronto. Then Nuggets at Wolves
Time to head back out on the road and continue the success they've been having lately. 15 out of 17!
Joe Ryan starts against Yusei Kikuchi.
2024 Game 25: Twins at AAAAngels
Bailey Ober starts against Patrick Sandoval.
At 11-13, with injuries to many key players, and plenty of painful at-bats, this season has probably been a disappointment for most. But for the School of Athens (the Philosofer household) it really hasn't been so bad. Circumstance has us with a new, much larger TV, and somewhat frequent access to the games as the secondary household on a subscription. Add in the fact that Aquinas and Nietzsche both had their best years of baseball last year, and we've got some eager learners in the house. The girls are getting involved too, asking great questions as the games progress. And Philosofette is excited to actually start getting to put names with faces after too many years of not really knowing who the players are.
Throw in Cory Provus' narration and, well, this has been a great year so far. Lots of baseball to go, and hopefully they keep the streak going now that they're not playing the Sox!
March 26, 2024: Free TV
For all you people with that pink mobile network that starts with a T (and as a reminder to myself), today is the day to hook up an Em El Bee TV package for freezies.
2023 Game 162: Minnesota Twins at Colorado Rockies
Bailey Over
vs
Bullpen day
Final regular season game. Everybody has clinched but seeding still to be determined. All games on MLB.tv are free for the day. Enjoy every game being on at the same time.
2023 Game 153: Minnesota Twins at Cincinnati Reds
Day game and free game alerts!
Bailey Ober
vs
Hunter Greene
Greene has been both very good (6 hitless innings with 11 strikeouts against the Cubs) and very bad (nine runs against the Blue Jays a month ago).
2023 Game 127: Minnesota Twins at Milwaukee Brewers
Kenta Maeda
vs
Corbin Burnes
I'm convinced the Twins cannot be more than six games above .500. If they win a bunch, then they will need to lose a bunch to never be too far above .500. They're back to +4 games so a win is again safe.
The extremely short "road" trip ends today. Texas is next on the schedule so they can bank some losses before the Guardians visit.
2023 Game 120: Minnesota Twin vs Philadelphia Phillies
Sonny Gray
vs
Ranger Suárez
Donovan Solano is back in the lineup and someone named Luplow hit a home run for the Twins.
2023 Game 88: Kansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins
Alec Marsh
vs
Pablo López
March is making his second career MLB start. His first was against the Dodgers and it did not go so well, giving up five runs in four innings. Checking his minor league numbers and while he had decent strikeout (11.4 K/9) and walk (3.9 BB/9) numbers, the ERA was not decent at 5.72 over 245 ⅓ innings, mostly in AA. He's 25 but was drafted in 2019 so lost his first year of MiLB development in 2020. Expect all three true outcomes today as the Twins get a tiny buffer in the "above .500" category.
