Diamondbacks (Pfaadt) vs Twins (Lopez): 9/12/25, 7:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

I stopped paying attention to Arizona the moment they were no longer a factor in the NLW, but they're still pretty competent.

Man! Other teams' pitchers' have the coolest names!

Still better than me. Did i start?

[stringer bell]

The team has a new bullpen piece. Cody Laweryson had his contract selected. Topa to the IL.

Welcome to the big leagues Cody!

[stringer bell]

Checking the starting lineups--one of the most obscure ex-Twins currently in the majors is hitting second for the Snakes. Ildemaro Vargas was in 10 games and got 24PAs for the Twins in the shortened 2020 season.

If the game goes down the drain and people are considering tuning out, check out this very interesting and well researched video about the Brewers.

Walks will haunt  ...

[mrtwinsfan]

And catcher throwing to Buxton not helping either

I just saw Twilight Zone is back on Amazon Prime. Season 1 Episode 1’s title is my question.

"Welcome to Major League Baseball . . . sort of"

There will be nine innings of something between the Twins and DBacks

[ziggy]

Topa to the IR, well there goes our season.

"Disco Dan".......tshirts were worn at the game.   Old fans should recall his last name.

Not funny but perhaps hypocritical.  Harmon Killebrew. 

Has Harm and Kill in his name and was seemingly a nice and rather reserved man.

I have a friend who named her son, Harmon, after Killebrew. His best friend in preschool was named Tony. She was really hoping they'd be lifelong friends much like our beloved Twins greats

Does anyone have a bar that players should reach as a hitter? We can consider that the bar includes below average defense. Is it .220? .250? .700 OPS? .750 OPS? What should e expect from our position players at the plate or is that not worth thinking about?

[David HK]

Just checked in before it's off to the rugby again--  yeesh, those blue PJs again.  It's like insult to injury.  🤮  Looks like they should be playing the Wednesday night slopitch beer league for Sal's Carpet Mart.

It's really like watching an improv artist watching Pablo work. You see what he is trying to do then he does it.

If he is a Twins player, he should be capable of pitching in the 9th inning lopsided game.

Horrible to see Tarik Skubal get hurt. He's cocky and irritating with his gestures but has earned the right to do whatever he likes. 

 

Side tightness.. hope he's ok.

If you're a below average defender you need to be an above average hitter.  I think WAR is a useful tool.  But also some guys just have a little "it" that makes them more valuable than their raw numbers.

Ko-Dee!
