A Brian Dozier leadoff home run and a messy as all get out 1-2-3 bottom of the inning.
Go Duffy! Go Twins!
2016 Game #36: Minnesota Targets (9-26) at Cleveland Progressives (17-16)
First pitch: 12:10 CDT
Beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again
There's new grass on the field
I've always tried to be optimistic, but my choice of rooting interests often makes that incompatible with reality. For the first time in their last 9 attempts, the Twins won a game of baseball yesterday. And we need to celebrate that. The Buddha tells us the root of suffering is desire. The Twins losing so frequently drives me crazy because I want them to win. It's the wanting that causes the suffering, not the losing. So I've swapped my optimism for appreciation. I live in a major league city and get to watch a major league team try to play baseball almost every day. I can attend a home game anytime I have the hankering. That's way more than I had growing up. So maybe we're looking at 100 losses this season. You can't say the boys aren't finding interesting ways to lose.
Tyler Duffy and Trevor Bauer on the mound today.
Play ball!
2016 Game 18: Twins at Nationals
They say a baseball season gives you two months to figure out what's wrong with your team, two months to fix it, and two months to contend. This team may need more time on the front end than that.
Due to stiffness in Irvin Santana's back, Tyler Duffy will get today's start for the Twins. Duffy did well in limited time last year and contended for the the final rotation spot throughout spring training. He'll square off against Stephen Strasburg because what the [redacted], it's not like we haven't faced enough really good starting pitching already this year, right?
So yeah, the Twins play so far this season leaves something to be desired. But what the hell, folks, it's the only game in town.
Play ball.
