Rocco's only managerial talent is recognizing what hand a pitcher throws with and then stacking his lineup with opposite handed batters.

Wow, we know this Rockies are bad but Freeland is really having a rough season 1-10 yikes. Go Twins.

He's in the Terry Felton zone.

Freeland is 1-10?  If this does not kick start the Twins offense nothing will.

Rockies starters this series are 1-10, 3-13, 3-10. Should be able to take them.

Should , these are the teams we SHOULD beat , how many times have we not beat teams like this ...

Twins go against a lefthander , they haven't done well against lefthanders this year  ...

 

Did white Sox play Colorado  this year yet , if so how did they do ( last years worst team againstthis years worst ) ,

Don't forget Rockies went to Florida and swept the Fish. Take nothing for granted.

Yep Ober on the hill, Keascahll leading off at DH tonight!!!!

Bailey has three shutout innings so far but is getting by giving up hits and with an 89 mph fastball. I'm not encouraged.

Left handed and breathing pitchers look like Tom Glavine in his prime against us. No matter their previous stats. Tonight is not a guaranteed win by any stretch

4 innings now but the fastball is still not so fast.

There are a few MLB hitters on the Louisville team..and it's in the low 90s so there's that. Not sure we won't get the same Bailey back next week we sent down a few weeks ago.

Ober’s night is over. 4 IP, 50 pitches thrown with 4 hits, 3Ks, and 0 BB

Hope it's a good starting point. Think Zebby might be recalled sooner?

I hope he gets at least one more start at Saint Paul. He did throw a lot of strikes but 90.4 on the fastball which is lower than his season average.
 

I think Zebby is the TBD pitcher in Colorado tomorrow.

Dang, as long as hes mixing in all of his pitches and throwing strikes the FO doesn't think velocity drop is an issue. 🤷

I did a full recap on Zebbys last start. He looked really good throwing up to 98 MPH and his secondaries were nasty.

[Patzky]

Just about time. Let's start off on a high note guys!

Luke  ?  how he do

[mrtwinsfan]

[Vanimal46]

The Rockies city connect uniforms are more hideous than ours. So there’s that

0-3 with a K through 5

[Chris Hove]

The crazy thing is the Rockies are so bad but are still middle of the pack in attendance, and will probably finish top-10 by the end of the year. Coors Field is an absolute beauty of a ballpark.

When I think of the Twins in Dodgertown I think of Alex Kiriloff getting rung up on three pitches all out of the zone by the ump.

 

Sorry can't unsee that.. the Dodger announcers even felt awful..

As the song goes, "You gotta have hope;" Dodger stadium is an odd iconic old stadium. I believe it is the third oldest stadium after the Red Sox and Cubs. Well, the Dodgers don't have permanent umps.

Freeland escapes the first with no runs.

From Dodgers NEWS BULLETIN: "Dodgers News: Shohei Ohtani Making Next Start Against Brewers Or Twins" He is not listed as a probable pitcher for the 3 games with the Brewers, so the Twins should see him next week.

[Vanimal46]

I have a bad feeling about this game. Especially with Paddack starting who is trending way downhill
