Nick Tropeano (1-0, 0.00) vs. Kyle Gibson (0-2, 4.22)

 

Lineups: http://www.baseballpress.com/lineups

 

Angles (5-6):

TBD

 

Twins (2-9):

TBD

 

 

Twins bats erupted for a season high 3 home runs yesterday afternoon, as they wailed on the corpse of Jered Weaver and the Halos bullpen. The Twins struckout just 4 times, against 3 walks. They kept defensive mistakes to a minimum, with one exception- another outfield collision. This time between (CF) Rosario and (LF) Arcia. Come on, Twins outfielders, you just wrapped up spring training.

 

Nick Tropeano takes the hill for the Angels today. A product of the Astros system, Tropeano was drafted in the 5th round in 2011. The righty throws a fastball 91-92, slider, changeup, and an occasional splitter. He'll be making his 13th start and so far, he's been stingy with the long ball, which seems odd since he's a fly ball pitcher. Maybe today the winds will push some fly balls into the seats.

 

Enjoy the game!

Had a long belt of that just now-  need some sleep for change, so you all have to carry on without any snark from the East today.  Go Twinkies.  

Oh, and how 'bout we just wear the pinstripes the rest of the way in '16?

HEY!!  Jared Weaver is still a pitcher on a Major League roster.  Let us not underestimate the Twins ability to defile corpses.

FTFY

Rosario in CF for second consecutive game.  Good / Bad omen for Buxton?

Hope Buck's hand or wrist or whatever is improving rapidly so he'll be able to swing a bat again very soon.

Last time Buxton had a wrist injury, it cost him a season.  Let's hope that's not the case here. Was he hit by a pitch or something?

I have not heard anything regarding any injury. I think he is observing a couple games.

It's do-nothing Sunday for me today. What better way for than that but to watch the Twins ... Was going to say 'watch the Twins win' but didn't want to jinx it.
