[Parfigliano]

Yea another RHP opponent. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am already missing Austin Martin.

But i suppose i can live with his replacement on the active roster.

For now.

[BH67]

Here's hoping Bailey has a no-hitter going after seven. Otherwise he might get pulled...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I hope we win.

 

And game threading is enjoyable, even if i am not there for much of it to enjoy it myself.

I'll take 20K per bag stolen this weekend any day.

Ps. Welcome to game thread math.

Twins need to take care of business tonight. Have to bank wins against the Reds and Marlins.

Is Cory related to Royce? Better yet, is he good? He looks like Paul Skenes.

If Kepler comes back, it needs to be as the fourth OF, he should not take AB's from Larnach.

Agreed, but I don't expect it to be how it all plays out.

If my memory is correct he has a huge amount of $$ tied to the 100 game number.

I thought it was tied to PA

I dunno, the Reds may be mediocre like most other teams, but it feels like they will actually put up a fight and not be pushovers. 

They have not announced starters for Saturday or Sunday. I wonder if that's because they are having rotations issues? or if their manager will try to use the bullpen to throw off Rocco's platooning. I know Hunter Greene is on the IL--having a great year and would have been fun to see him.
