Rays (Bradley) vs Twins (Ryan): 6/19/24, 6:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Remember when this team was absolutely no fun in April? They're the exact opposite of that right now.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Keep it going, boys.

[MMMordabito]

The Rays K about 9 times per game. (4th worst in the AL)

Joe Ryan Ks just over 9 per 9 IP.

Can he go deep enough and get hot enough to make to 100 Ks tonight?

I wish we could all tune in.

[BH67]

Per MLB, only two teams have an OPS exceeding .800 over the past 30 days: the Mets, and...

...some team that just donned blue and yellow unis with the state postal code prominently displayed.

I can tune in, but I know there are plenty who can't.

[cmoss84]

Super. Box.

Worth the investment. 

[Parfigliano]

There goes the no hitter

[CRF]

NO LONG FLY BALLS, JOE!

[Parfigliano]

Crowd noise much louder then announcers on my TC DirecTV broadcast

[CRF]

Ok, well done. Now, let's put a crooked number up there.

[MMMordabito]

Way to pitch, Joe.  Bad luck on two dinks and a dropped foul tip, and you still shut 'em down.

[Patzky]

Let's do it Max!

Hints of last night..

[Parfigliano]

Wasted opportunity

What is the story with no Twins broadcast tonight?

[MMMordabito]

Margot wouldn't have done that.

I'll take another 8 run effort.

[Doctor Gast]

Larnach should have scored, Even if the ball didn't go through the INF nobody was covering 3B but the ball did go through the INF.

Not for anyone on Xfinity

It is surreal to see Ben Rortvedt as a starting catcher in the major leagues...

Martin's catch in LF?  Indeed.  I was talking about checking some boxes when Austin hauled in that home run in center the other day; this catch today addresses another box I mentioned, of making good decisions when coming in.  Unless Buxton could pull a rabbit out of his hat, that ball had inside-the-park HR written on it if Martin completely whiffed.  I was half-expecting that.  Instead, really nice play that required a correct decision and then execution.

Really?  The Yankees demanded a high price in return for taking Donaldson off our hands.  I did not want to see my Adopt-A-Prospect go.

[Parfigliano]

Is Vasquez D really so great that it supports his .470 OPS

[Aggies7]

Some outstanding defense already tonight

Don't look now but coming into the game his June OPS is .824.  Jeffers for comparison is .337. 

No one in the Twins brain trust is going to stake anything on such small samples - but the trend is that he's earning starter's minutes once again.

[TwinsCD]

There's the once-daily Ryan HR allowed.

[Parfigliano]

Nuts--

At least it was solo

[Patzky]

Martin leads off well. Send him
