Twins | 44-53 overall, 15-31 on the road, 5-5 in their last 10

Adalberto Mejia, LHP | 0-0, 9.00 ERA, 2.25 WHIP, 0.33 K:BB

 

Blue Jays | 46-52 overall, 27-25 at home, 5-5 in their last 10

Luis Santos, RHP | 0-0, 7.88 ERA, 1.88 WHIP, 2.25 K:BB

 

Lineups:

Additional notes:

This is just the second start Mejia will be making for the Twins in 2018 after making 21 starts for the big club last season. He's been pitching well down in Rochester, posting a 3.32 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while averaging 8.8 K/9. Unfortunately, Mejia is coming off his worst start of the year with the Red Wings. He gave up seven runs in six innings of work last Tuesday.

 

The Jays were hoping Marco Estrada was going to be able to come off the DL and start tonight, but they're having to go with Plan B instead, as Luis Santos is making his first career start in what's going to be a bullpen game. Santos, 27, has made five appearances out of the Blue Jays' bullpen this season.

 

The Twins are 19-39 against the Blue Jays since 2010.

I'm sorry. I wasn't listening...

Oh wait. This is visual media for the most part.

 

Yeah, 2-1 9 inning game, starters both going deep, ot would be just like baseball, fickle game that it is.

 

I sometimes wish i could give due diligence to appreiate all the intricacies...

Glass half full:

Twins last 14 games: 9-5, picked up 2.5 games.

If they did that four times in a row, they would be 7 games over .500 and a half a game up on Cleveland with 9 games to play.

What is your glass half full of? I might want to try some, must be good stuff if the first half glass is any indication? :)

The odds are certainly stacked against a playoff appearance...but stranger things have happened.

 

That seemed like a better opportunity for a 'Stranger Things' reference than a 'Dr. Strange' one  ;) .

Bullpen games are the stupidest thing ever. 

 

I like the idea of an opener, but a bullpen games are dumb. Especially when you are out of the race like Blue Jays. Bring up a guy from AAA and see how he does.

BREAKING: Paul Molitor sucks

I'd put more blame on Kepler not getting the bat on the pitch, but to each his own.

That was a great defensive play. Had the hitter been Grossman or Wilson, they might've been thrown out at first.

Wade Wilson? He might still have an arm.

Wade Boggs? Probably not as good a hitter as other options.

 

Frankly, the list of famous Wades (first or last name) is not the best list....
