GAME THREAD: Minnesota Twins vs. Tampa Bay Rays, 04/30/2022 @ 4:10 PM EST

[Richie the Rally Goat]

go up 3-0 and strike out…

sigh

[stringer bell]

I’ll mention it here. Despite being knocked around, Bundy held on for six innings and saved the bullpen. I think this improves the Twins chances a lot for today. 

[Doctor Gast]

Archer had great control in his 1st 2 games, now he's all over the place. I get it that he didn't have spring so he has to fine turn his slider. But I didn't expect him to be this far off unless they are trying something new with him.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Archer! You don’t need to go back on the highway… I’m really ok with a boring 1-2-3

[stringer bell]

Good play by Archer. 

[The Mad King]

Am I the only person freaked out that Lowe and Lowe are pronounced differently??

[SwainZag]

Man this team needs someone to start hitting.

Probably.  I haven't had enough Scotch to reach that point yet.

I got married there in mid May, I can vouch that you most assuredly do not.

[stringer bell]

I've read all teams have humidors this year.

Thielbar coming in
 

 

Never mind, Thielbar sitting down, Stashak warming

[Mill1634]

Archer battled command issues, but he got 7 swinging strikes on 18 swings on the fastball, and the velo has stayed around the mark it has been all year. He isn't going to be an ace, but he's shown he's capable of throwing two times through the order as the #5 starter

[stringer bell]

Four innings from Archer. I guess he survived.

Another reason to find something else to do rather than watch the game. The first is that incessant tapping/banging when the Twins are up. What an embarrassing place to play baseball.

Mute is your friend.  Especially for a broadcast from the Trop.

Throw some music on and enjoy the game in "silence"!

Hmmm. Perhaps some 70's funk will brighten things up on this (yet again) dreary day in Twincy.

Don't you have an understudy who can go on stage for you?
