Mariners (Castillo) vs Twins (Paddack): 6/24/25, 6:40pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeah, okay, whatever.

[thelanges5]

We have to wait until Monday to get a break from this madness. The games and sorrow just keep on coming. Is this rock bottom, how much lower can we go?
 

Let’s go Twins.

Twins’ ranking in average sprint speed in the Falvey era 

2017 - 5th

2018 - 16th

2019 - 23rd

2020 - 23rd

2021 - 26th

2022 - 19th

2023 - 22nd 

2024 - 29th

2025 - 30th

Our eyes aren’t deceiving us. No wonder why the last 2 seasons are the most boring baseball I’ve ever watched from the Twins.

Gross.

Conventional wisdom would suggest speed and power are trade-offs.  But since the Bomba Squad had the #2  SLG in MLB, they've ranked between 7 and 14 (11 if you exclude COVID) since.  That is until this season, where they've fallen to #16.  Not even in the top half of power with the slowest team.  The worst of both worlds

Would it be madness if we had. a break?

 

I hope we win this time.

Formalities. Still sticking with Wallner but if Willi is so injured he should have been put on the IL so a serviceable replacement could have been called up. Bench consists of Vazquez, Keirsey, Bride.  

Dropping Wallner is a no brainer.. I'd put him behind France. Lee Correa France slapping the ball as well as anyone right now. Might luck into a run or two.. there will always be donuts in the lineup.

Mmmm... Donuts!

They love a short bench. Dan Hayes said Willi would be out 2-3 days. Today is day three. 

[big dog]

Over-under on hits, I’m setting 5.  Whaddya got?

Depends.  Twins for the game or Mariners first time through the order?

Maybe could PR if needed via a late hit by France or Wallner (ha!)

I am typing on a keyboard once again.

I think that's what that one symphany was about: from the new world of typing...

3 true outcomes and station to station 😫. Even with Buck mixed in they're dead last? FFS!!

Edit: and Bader, Kiersey, and Castro!

Mariners will score 5-10. Twins 2-5.

Maybe we'll have a 5-5 tie.

[Western SD Fan]

Whew!  We just dodged a bullet.  Whit Merrifield just announced his retirement.  I'm sure if Falvey would have known he was still out there if FA land, he would have signed him already.
