7/24/22 Twins @ Tigers 12:40 CDT (10:40PDT)

Another solid team win.

[stringer bell]

Three game lead with the first leg of a three-city trip in the books.

[Parfigliano]

So this is the situation Joe Smith can be trusted with.  Good to know.

Not actually, though. The team must submit a list of their 13 pitchers, and the other 13 guys can only throw in a 6 run difference either way. Happened in a game earlier this year where a team was told no. I would prefer MLB raise the rule to an 8 run difference.

It should be 10 runs. This isn’t high school 

[Mill1634]

Twins win!

Needed the quick two game sweep, and we got the job done. Gray and Ryan were fantastic against a terrible lineup, the bullpen was flawless today, and the lineup added on runs against the good arms in the Tigers bullpen. Now head to Milwaukee and split the quick two game set.

Until Tuesday,

ENJOY YOUR CHICKEN!

I absolutely hate how position player's pitching has turned into throwing 60 MPH slow pitch softball to the plate. Wanna save your bullpen, fine. But go out there and throw 85 at least.

Then how could Joe Smith, Sergio Romo and Tommy Milone stay in the majors?

I know Roberts of the Dodgers tried to put a player in and was called back and not allowed.

Twins took care of business against a bad team. Keep it rolling into brew town. 
 

game aside - the booth call-up guy was really good. I enjoy Bremer, but damn this guy was good and had a great immediate banter with Perkins. Call him up any time.

So putting these badboys on the smoker before the game started was not a jinx (today).

He did nearly give me a heart attack in the 9th when he said “Kyle garlick coming into the game to pitch”

HA! Isn't it a 10 run rule they call it in Little League? It was when I played, but that was a looooooooooong time ago.

That would make it a Little League rule for MLB!

High schools around me have a 10 runs after 5 or 15 after 3 rule. NCAA softball is 8 after 5 which is kind of bizarre

Kody Clemens and not Cody Clemens. Going with the alliteration but not the same letter. OK.

[big dog]

Nice game, lads! Go Twins!

Rocket named all of his sons names that began with K if I recall correctly.

Did anyone else feel like Nick Gordon was everywhere in this game?

K. I get it now. The jet flying over my head has landed.
