They do realize that they have to drive through the Twin Cities to get there, right?

Funny, but Duluth is a city, you can’t deny that.

Nope, especially when compared to Albert Lea.

Wouldn't mind the tornado sirens and restarting this game tomorrow...

I think Archer is already nearing his break point...

[Aggies7]

I’m about done with archer as a starter. Was done a couple weeks ago

It's like a switch flips right now. He just starts tumbling and just picks up momentum

[LVTwinsfan]

Time for some heavy rain

There's an A side??

You know the way Twins fans feel when we are watching the Twins play the Royals, Orioles, and A's?

That's how Astros fans feel when they're playing the Twins. A far inferior team with no confidence against better competition, low-hanging fruit, just easy wins for the picking. Your team gets up early and you can relax because the only question is whether you'll win by double-digits.

AH, Celestino slept through that one.

Strike 3 wasn’t in the box. Closer pitches were called balls when Archer was pitching in the first and second innings.

Yeah but the Twins try hard

Absent some positive changes, I think that this game may be a preview of what will happen if the Twins get to the playoffs.

Listen ump, if you’re gonna keep people out there in these conditions, expand your damned zone a little. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Be nice to get this one

[RpR]

Detroit was swept by Houston but three of those games were 3-2

[Winston Smith]

Passing on all the good FA starting pitching for some dumpster finds seems to be working as expected. Not sure why Flavine continue to think it's going to somehow work after so many fails.

[Vanimal46]

We’re just leaving Archer in praying for a postponement at this point.

Dude, he’s trying to pitch in pouring rain. 

[Aggies7]

Ballgame

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is ********. They shouldn’t be out there. 

[Mill1634]

The only chance at winning this game is the weather wiping it clean and redoing things tomorrow.

At their own peril....

[Aggies7]

Postponement isn’t going to do us any favors. They don’t start over 

 

edit: at least I think they don’t lol

I agree, this isn’t baseball

[Vanimal46]

Getting the warnings on the radio now. Call this game

They do if it doesn't get through 5 innings and they don't restart tonight.

EDIT: They did change it for the shortened 2020 season, but I can't find if the rule stays in place. The article I read says "as of now, this rule is only in place for the 2020 season."

Long rain delay wouldn’t hurt
