SERIES: My Twins Pre/Postgame Columns for Zone Coverage

[Brandon Warne]

In case you don't see these on Twitter and Facebook, I'm going to share my pre and postgame stuff from Zone Coverage in this thread.

 

Here's the Opening Day pregame blog: http://zonecoverage.com/2017/twins/43-twins-seek-opening-day-win-for-first-time-since-2008/

 

As always, chatter is greatly appreciated!

[Mike Sixel]

Lots of really good stuff there, sir.

Worley vs. Verlander... ouch... is there a scenario where that ever plays out well?

[Brandon Warne]

Meant to post this earlier: 

 

Here's my postgame coverage. You may find it a bit different than everyone else's. Hopefully that's a good thing!

Did an Opening Day periscope chat too. Sorry about my face: http://zonecoverage.com/2017/twins/replay-minnesota-twins-opening-day-periscope-with-brandon-warne/

[USAFChief]

Your game recap is really well done.

[Brandon Warne]

Thanks. I do that for every game I cover. 

[Mike Sixel]

The recap must be on a site blocked at work. Alas, I'll have to look at it at home.

Worley vs. Verlander... ouch... is there a scenario where that ever plays out well?

Yeah, it was colloquially referred to as "2014".

Here's today's pregame notes:

If you like my coverage, the postgame story from today will be right up your alley. Put a TON of work into this:

[USAFChief]

Again...fantastic. Really good work, miles ahead of the regular newspaper stuff.

[Brandon Warne]

I can not emphasize enough how nice that is to hear. thank you so much

[GP830]

I cannot overstate how sad it was to watch DanSan get dressed all by himself in the background of that Sano interview video. So sad.

 

Nice work, btw! Keep it coming!

[Brandon Warne]

Not on the road trip, but did a periscope chat today:

Just a note from an admirer...if any of you out there want a place for excellent analysis...this is it. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

[HitInAPinch]

Just finished reading the pre-game.  Really like the pace of your writing. 

 

4/14 Game Notes:  "You can’t win the game in the sixth inning — but you sure can lose it."  Makes me wonder if there are statistics that show the recent trend of using many RP's in a game are lessening this...

 

1-2-3 Garcia's!  I'm still waiting for an OF filled with Saltalamacchia's or Knickerbocker...

 

Polanco, Sano and Mejia:  a good game by all 3.  Hoping to see much more from the outfield.

 

Great Articles!

[Brandon Warne]

Thanks again, guys. Means a ton!

[PATwinsfan]

I'll echo the sentiments here. Great writing, and really enjoy the pre and post game analysis!

[70charger]

I agree; this is great analysis. Much better and more in-depth than the typical ESPN type blurbs. If I can't watch the game (or really, even if I can) this is my go-to this season. I just hope it continues for a long time.

[Brandon Warne]

Thanks guys. Again, I can not emphasize enough how nice this is since we don't get a ton of comments at the site.

Here's today's final game story: https://t.co/5C4Kl7JpBp

Here's today's daily podcast, as I chatted with Phil Hughes about his recovery from offseason surgery:
