Twins (Paddack) vs Detroit (Skubal): 6/29/25, 6:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Remember those first 60 games, when Twins pitching didn't allow double-digit runs? Yeah, me neither.

And a 6:10 start? Get out of here.

Hopefully the locals didn’t get too much damage from last night’s tornado warning. I’ve got a partial power outage. At least the AC is still on which is all I really care about

Basically the whole surrounding area in the Twin Cities. I heard the sirens and got the warning on my phone at 12:30 last night. 

Im out walking the dog in Golden Valley and see a ton of huge trees uprooted, and frayed power lines

Personally, I hope the Twins get a hit tonight. National TV and all.

[Parfigliano]

Skubal is due to get pushed around.  TC money line is +255.  Bet the farm.

TC

We might lose by two TDs today.  On national TV.

Or maybe we jump on Skubal.

I look for Vazquez and Bride to have big games.

They're certainly due for one.

They can't be thinking of starting Bride in a Natl TV game.

You don't expect them to start Larnach and Wallner against a lefty do you?  I hear he's not half bad.

Wallner's OPS in 2025 is over. 200 pts higher vs LHP than Bride.

But analytics, or something.

Sure has been alot of warnings and a few tornadoes this year , even up here we had a tornado touch down in gull lake , Nissawa  ...

I had 3 warnings come across my phone on that storm , I have never heard a constant rumble like that before , it did sound like a locomotive or train as some say   , the constant rumble lasted 30 minutes roughly ...

Skubal is a tough lefty  , Rocco has protected  ( if you want to call it that ) wallner from difficult lefties , he's given wallner chances against not so dominant lefties  ...

But I agree with you that they should fire Rocco  , it would help to make the season more of a success  , adios amigo  you are not a major league manager  , sorry I couldn't resist ...

[Vanimal46]

All fans of baseball demand to see Bride and Vazquez on the field

Some executive watching the game will see his pitching prowess and recognize the need for a two way player. 

[stringer bell]

According to BBRef, Larnach has started eight games against left handers and his splits are pretty lousy (.172 BA .475 OPS), Wallner has started four games versus southpaws and his splits are so-so as well (.207 BA, .717 OPS) and Bride has started 16 games against left handers and is terrible as well (.196 BA and .507 OPS) against left handers. Wallner's "good" numbers were mostly accrued before his injury and he has struggled lately. There aren't any great choices and if Bride is to have any role this is where he should be used. 

There has to be somebody better in the system and this really looks bad when Vázquez is catching.

Means  Buxton will never see anyone on base -  How can Rocco  justify batting those 2 back to back   lVasquez  - i get it   but- BRIDE STARTING IS A FIREABLE OFFENSE

[mrtwinsfan]

Denard  Span in the radio booth with Perkins ,  2 lefties there --and Denard could still hit better than Bride

They make a hell of a battery,

[mrtwinsfan]

anyone else get inspired as i dont seeing Jeffers batting 2nd ?

[IndyTwinsFan]

I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're going to have a very difficult time scoring runs tonight.  Even more so than usual. 

[Aggies7]

This is gonna be rough lol
