Twins (Lopez) vs Dodgers (Syndergaard): 5/15/23, 9:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins have a pretty brutal stretch of games until they face the Tigers a little over a month from now. First up is the Dodgers but thankfully, Minnesota gets to face Syndergaard in the opener. The Dodgers haven't yet been able to sprinkle their magic pitcher pixie dust on Thor yet, hopefully it stays that way through at least tonight.

Doubtful this old **** will stay up late enough to watch these night games, but I’m thinking a 3-3 split would be pretty good. The bats need to stay alive.

[stringer bell]

Tough stretch of games and I think it's time for them to handle a left handed pitcher. I'm not sure that pitcher is Kershaw, but they also get Detmers and Sandoval in Anaheim.

[stringer bell]

Angels have placed Rendon on the IL, meaning we'll see Gio at third, probably for the whole series. Honestly, I wish him well, just so long as the Twins win.

West coast games are way too late for this fossil. I'll watch a couple innings and then it's off to dream-land for me. I'll be checking the score first thing in the morning.

This 33 year old won’t stay up late enough to watch it either. Doesn’t help that my body doesn’t know what time zone I’m in yet. Gotta love waking up at 4:30 AM CT…

That’s my normal wake-up time. :)

This year so far "struggling name-brand pitcher" is scarier to me than "ace."

[USAFChief]

These late start times are just too much. SEVEN TEN PM START TIME here in Tucson??!?

 

Ridiculous.

I wake up at 0600 CT and won't be staying awake for it. Maybe I will listen until 2230-2300 depending on how it's going. Go Twins!! Will there be crickets chirping on the game thread after the 5th inning?

[rwilfong86]

Won't be watching but hope they get a W

Really? It's barely dinner time here in LA. By the way, tonight is Mookie Betts bobblehead night at Dodger stadium. Don't know if that helps or hurts, but the place will be full.

Lopez has two good starts, gets a huge contract, and has been ordinary(or worse) since then.

[Tlaker]

Welp…. off to bed I go(sigh)

[PDX Twin]

Interesting how, even with replay, the calls always go in favor of the big city teams.
