If career numbers are any indication it should be a fun game to watch as a Twins fan...

Yes, I noticed that too. The starting lineup 33-95 against Singer with 9 homers.

[wabene]

Looks like a good lineup with only Miranda and MAT getting a break today against the righty. Going for it on a Sunday.

Hope that Gordon can come through …

[stringer bell]

Yes, I'd like to make it a tough call for the front office. I hope both Willi and Nick come through.

Here's to hoping that history repeats itself... early and often!

Another cold, crummy day at Target Field. Can't wait until the weather improves. The wind might make things very interesting today. We need to take the finale this afternoon before we go to Chi and Cleve. Go Twins!

[ziggy]

wind is blowing somewhat out to right field, somewhat foul to right field. Better wear a hard hat near the foul pole.

side topic on Rocco, shame on him for not letting Drew Maggi play after being called up last year. It's not like the Twins were neck and neck with the Guardians at the end of September. Article on ESPN.

It was in 2021. But it's still a shame that he didn't get into a game, even just for an inning or two.

Beautiful day for something.  But that something ain't baseball!

Yeah, my 3:56 tee time might be snowed out. I will watch and hope no one gets hurt.

What that building going up in background?

Not a beautiful day for that either!

Though, I'd still tee it up anyway...

Mixed use tower, if I recall correctly.

Lets go Twins, need this one heading into a tough road stretch.

Is Sonny the only MLB pitcher that doesnt throw a "sweeper"?

[Nine of twelve]

Gray's ERA now down to 0.60.

Me too.

Singer is a good name for a pitcher.

 

Sewing, batter batter batter!

I know the box on TV is not necessarily accurate. But I actually have more faith in that than the opinion of a human pitch-caller. And the human pitch-callers have appeared not to do well during the last few games.

Yeah, the Twins had a pitcher Bill--the Singer Throwing Machine.

I thought Vasquez was supposed to be a plus defender.

[rwilfong86]

Superb defense again.
