Totally expect Morton to wake up and realize he is a high quality pitcher and throw a good game against the Twins.

He's been god awful so yeah, stands to reason, the Twins get the best version of Morton.

Morton’s last three games have come out of the bullpen. So maybe this is a bullpen game? Last time he pitched five was back on April 15.

[Vanimal46]

Morton’s getting paid $15 million with those results? Yikes.

Hopefully last year's curse of whoever was on the Twins magazine cover getting injured stayed in last season

Morton is a corpse, this should be a steamroll.

I knew Baltimore was scuffling a bit but holy **** looking over their pitching numbers and just watching them as a team last night....yeesh.

Bibee turned in his best. Morton probably will too.

Stranger things have happened.

Usually the way it goes

Surprised that Royce is back in the lineup. Thought they might give him a day off just so he can catch his breath. He looked incredibly uncomfortable at the plate. Seems like he puts so much pressure on his bottom half when he swings the bat.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Hopefully SWR can give them 6 tonight. 

[Patzky]

Let's do it again guys!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Good start!

[Tlaker]

Just curious…. is Roger’s kid the only option to be in the lineup tonight?

IT Junior reports that with St. Louis defeating Pittsburgh this afternoon, the Cardinals have won their last four games played during a papal conclave, including 2005 (Benedict XVI), 1978 (John Paul II) and 1963 (Paul VI). The Cardinals went 0-3-1 1914 when Benedict XV was elected and 1-2 in 1903 when Pius X was elected. The remaining five conclaves since 1900 happened outside of the baseball season.

The Padres lost during the 1978 conclave and won in 2005.

Meanwhile, the football Cardinals have lost both of theirs played during conclaves, though both of those were called on television by Notre Dame alumni (Joe Boland in 1958 and Paul Hornung in 1978).

Apparently Bader was sick last night. Any word on his availability today? With how much he's played, it would be a bit surprising for him to have two consecutive days off.

[Aggies7]

These bet365 commercials GOTTA GO

[Parfigliano]

Mr 9+ ERA plows through the 1st inning.  I'm not surprised.

Isn’t it too early for cottonwood trees to be throwing seeds….what the hell is flying all over the ballpark?

Bugs? What kind?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

I think he's safe...or there's just not enough to overturn it.
