Pirates (Keller) vs Twins (Woods Richardson): 7/13/25, 1:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, Buck hit for the cycle! That's, um, cool.

[CRF]

Let's beat these guys, sweep them out of town, and finish with a .500 record at the break.

Make a trade for Keller today. He can walk across the clubhouse after the game.

I'd rather they do it before the game

[stringer bell]

The trend for the homestand has been W-W-L. They need to break the trend and head into the All-Star break at .500. Sim has been good and the back end of the BP is rested and ready. 

[ziggy]

Yesterday's game could not have been scripted any better by Rocco. Other than Lewis missing a couple of ground balls it was near perfect, including the weather.

But yesterday is gone and it would be hopeful if the Twins were 50/50 going into the break.

Hopefully SIM can keep spinning swings and misses and soft hit balls into another victory. I keep forgetting that SIM's velocity is considered sub-par for todays game but is faster than Viola or Morris in their heyday.

I hope we win today.

Batting 4th as usual.

I found one item interesting when reviewing the team stats. Clemens has been an interesting pick-up. Despite a low BA of 216...his other stats have been superb. He is 3rd in HRs, 2nd OPS, 2nd SLG, and 10th in hits with just 142 at bats which is half the number of ABs than many of the players. Not bad....hope he keeps up that pace...

Hey WALLNER--Wake up ---geez he looked confused ,  playing that wall is not a strength of his 

[tony&rodney]

The pitchers have a tough job to make pitches where the batter cannot hit the ball anywhere near right field. Poor Matt has his funk following him everywhere. I sure hope he breaks out today. DH only though.

[Aggies7]

That’s it pull him out of there

[mrtwinsfan]

Kody drops a pop-up -foul ball- batter gets a base hit - ?  no error recorded,  How does it make sense  ?  yes i understand a  foul ball negates everything - except common sense

[mrtwinsfan]

Correa -- best  a.b. this year

Clemens’ hits have been consequential, much more so than Wallner for sure. Hard to know how long it will continue, but he deserves to keep in the lineup until he cools off.

Wallner—not so much. 

[mrtwinsfan]

How long do they let Wallner keep killing this team with that approach,  tired of it   occasional homer be Dammed

[jaimedude]

WALLNER cannot even get the runner over. Stock predictable strike out from Wallner. He is a below average defender and not a great hitter.

Sheetz > Kwik Trip

Joey Gallo 2.0: The slower version that can't play 1B

[mrtwinsfan]

[ziggy]

Yep, Wallner isn't a plus player in anything but throwing. Stone feet slow.

Joey Gallo 2.0: The slower version that can't play 1B --  Gallo i could at least put up with because he was also a pretty good glove at 1b--  Wallner  i see zero future with more youth and speed in the outfield coming  -Get ANYTHING you can in a trade  we need it-Matt needs it , not working here

[Vanimal46]

Slick play at 3B for Lewis to end the inning @RpR

[Western SD Fan]

I don't mind the Vazquez play of the hit and run.  It turned into a sacrifice to get the runner to second.  Two chances to get Bader in.

Buck-Again !!!!!!!!
