apologies to ol' Billy Boy)

 

Shall i compare thee to a baseball game?

I might as well despite your sullen glare, 

The lineups have each player's place and name

And if you wait a moment, those i'll share:

 

Minnesota Twins:

0. Dylan Bundy (R) P

1. Luis Arraez (L) 2B

2. Carlos Correa (R) SS

3. Max Kepler (L) RF

4. Gio Urshela (R) 3B

5. Alex Kirilloff (L) 1B

6. Gary Sanchez (R) DH

7. Trevor Larnach (L) LF

8. Ryan Jeffers (R) C

9. Nick Gordon (L) CF

 

Arizona Diamondbacks

0. Luke Weaver (R) P

1. Daulton Varsho (L) RF

2. Alek Thomas (L) CF

3. Josh Rojas (L) 3B

4. C. Walker (R) 1B

5. David Peralta (L) LF

6. Buddy Kennedy (R) 2B

7. Pavin Smith (L) DH

8. Carson Kelly (R) C

9. Geraldo Perdomo (S) SS

With innings nine each team has equal chance

To hit the ball and make it safely home

The box score tells the action at a glance

It's not short concise, no treatise nor a tome.

But you, i don't know where i should begin

You got the heat, change ups, and curves.

I can only check my swing, no hope to win.

Or swing the check for more hors d'oeuvres.

Alright, calm down, and do you have to shout?

I went too far and now i get thrown out.


Er...

Man, how long has it been since i have written anything beyond a haiku (or limerick)? 

Play ball!

Scoreboard watching already: Cleveland losing to LA 6-1 in the 6th.

Twins have Jeffers, Urshela (batting cleanup!?), Larnach, Gordon and Kirilloff in the lineup - plus NO Buxton and they have Bundy on the mound. Can't imagine this will go well.

Decent looking lineup despite the absence of Buxton. Couldn't have said that last year.

Aside from Arraez and Correa I frankly don't see much to like. Looks like the B-Team to me. Hope they prove me wrong.

No Buxton again, super. Bundy on the mound against the worst hitting team in baseball. Arizona wins.

Bundy will have a quality start for him...less earned runs then innings pitched...Twins win.

I wish Luis could be more of a stolen base threat. Lead off hits too often become lead outs on double plays. 

Didn’t matter in the first.

I’m excited to see the return of Alex Kirilloff.  Not fond of seeing two catchers in the lineup. On a possibly related note, Kyle Garlick homered for the Saints in a 4-3 defeat.

It sounds like we have quite the home field advantage on the road in Arizona.
