Padres (Cortes) vs Twins (Matthews): 8/29/25, 7:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is a fun matchup... if you're a Padres fan.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

They all are fun match ups.... if you are a fan.

PS. The contrapositive:

If they are not fun match ups.... You might not be a fan?

Twins DH batting 9th again. They must have a hell of a starting 8.

Martin is not a good outfielder yet they keep sticking him out there.

Bobby Nightengale:

Twins starters this weekend vs. Padres, per team game notes: 

Friday: Zebby Matthews. 
Saturday: Taj Bradley. 
Sunday: Joe Ryan. 

Looks like Mick Abel will be available out of the bullpen this weekend, possibly in a long relief piggyback situation.

That's what's known as a double negative.

[mrtwinsfan]

Jeffers and Genius-    awesome 

[Tlaker]

Here’s a question for stat geeks….. what team has had base runners thrown out by the most total feet or yardage….? jFC

 

[SS MagicMark]

It will go as an unearned run, but IMO if the pitcher is the one who commits the error, the run should still count against him. 

[Patzky]

Could been worse. Let's score y'all!

[Danchat]

Fun and also very random fact: that was Arraez's 23rd sac fly of his career. Compare that to Gallo's career 4 SFs in almost the exact same number of PAs. Arraez actually just passed him in career PAs a week ago.

Perhaps we will see Luis back in a Twins uniform for 2026…

Ouch that hurts

[Patzky]

He won't be platooned but Keaschall isn't good against southpaws at all right now

A lot of Gallo's left the ball park.

[Patzky]

Sloppy play and poor pitches with two outs.

If he can win another Batting Title with the Twins, great, other wise, why?

[Patzky]

Jeffers ain't Gasper. Go slow things down.
