stringer bell Verified Member Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Things look a lot rosier after a solid win in a game started by the team's #5 starter. If the Twins are to avoid being buried, they need to win the Mets series. It looks like it will be cooler and windier tonight. Might keep the ball in the park. Patzky and Twins_Fan_in_NJ 2
Twins_Fan_in_NJ Verified Member Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Joe looked like an ace his last time out. Need a similar performance tonight. Holmes is capable and with the weather, runs will be at a premium. Cory Engelhardt, thelanges5 and Hosken Bombo Disco 3
Cory Engelhardt Verified Member Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Not this game specifically related; wasn't Royce supposed to run the bases Tuesday-Thursday last week and then be assessed for how close he could be to starting a rehab assignment? Has there been ANY news on Royce for how last week went? I want to assume that no news is positive in this sense, but haven't seen anything otherwise. Twins_Fan_in_NJ and Patzky 2

Blyleven2011 Verified Member Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 5 wins is better than 4 wins , but the 6th win would help tonight ... It time for the possums to stop playing dead at home and get killed on the road ... Play ball ... IndyTwinsFan and Strombomb 2

The winds are gusting big time. And if I calculate correctly from my man cave, they’ll be blowing straight out to center,,,maybe more right-center. Not exactly ideal for Ryan. On the other hand, once the sun (such that it is) sets, we’ll have mid-to-high 20’s windchills…maybe stay a little higher if the wind settles any…and it’s damp. So, hitters aren’t necessarily going to be comfortable, either. Baseball wasn’t meant to be played in this. It makes me want to discount just about any results, honestly…individual and team, and good or bad. Here’s to getting lucky. IndyTwinsFan 1

LA Vikes Fan Verified Member Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 I would like to see Chris Paddack in the #8 bullpen spot, with Matthews and/or Festa in the rotation in his place. I'm hoping that by keeping Festa up to make another start or two that the Twins are going to use the remainder of Lopez' time on the IL as a competition of sorts between Festa, Paddack, and SWR for the fourth and fifth rotation spots. Loser goes to AAA or the bullpen, depending on who loses. I even would be in favor of going to a six man rotation and giving Matthews that same opportunity now. Hosken Bombo Disco 1
