NOT a bad idea.

[stringer bell]

I am not saying he should, but I wonder if Shelton will shake it up at all after two poor performances against left handed starters. Tristan Gray had reverse splits (SSS) last year, for instance. I also speculate whether Jeffers will catch in both games when a day game follows a night game. Perhaps Caratini catches one game and Jeffers is the DH, with Bell at first?

A lot of guys haven't done much hitting so far. The Twins have only scored more than four runs once and exceeded five hits once in the four games.

Would be nice if the Twins scored some runs for Joe tonight.

Are you watching over the web? Or from Cape Canaveral?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah.

 

I hope we win.

 

And that the launch goes smoothly. Assuming it isn't just on elaborate SMarch 32nd joke...

 

Lousy SMarch weather...

Streaming. Last time I was at the Cape was 2017, last launch was the shuttle Atlantis in 1991.

ps... was the Challenger named after the Doyle character? Always wondered...

No, it was named for the HMS Challenger.

I just saw something launch from Cape Canaveral a couple weeks ago

My sister-in-law is a rocket scientist at NASA.  My wife got leveled by food poisoning hours after we landed there and was down for two days.  Fun trip!

The Lewis Lee duo is scary and not in a good way.

I feel they're in the proper place in the lineup though... And on paper this is how I'd design it too. Might shift Jeffers after Caratini.

Looks like Wallner and Jeffers swap spots, but everything else is the same compared to the other games vs lefties.

Early on, it seems like Shelton uses a more static lineup than we've been used to.  The following batters have occupied the same slot in the batting order for all their own starts: Martin(1), Clemens(1), Buxton(2), Keaschall(3), Larnach(7), Lewis(8), Lee(9), and Gray(9-only once, but technically still correct!)

Since that has resulted in Clemens leading off to avoid making anyone else move around in the lineup (or God forbid, allow Martin to face a righty), I'm not convinced that's a good thing

technically correct is the best kind.

 Clemens leading off--- is a sure way to never give Twins fan any hope ,  Cody is a good reliable bench player But not a Leadoff man with that  on base percentage -  WHY ??/

[The Great Hambino]

Forecast for now looks like the thunderstorms might hold off until after the game and clear out of town by gametime tomorrow.  Considering that the ChiSox have already postponed tomorrow's game, I think they're going to be pretty fortunate to have gotten this whole series in as scheduled.

Hopefully this weather luck follows them back to MN and the home opener is merely dry and cold instead of wet and cold.  Either way, I'll be giving the $2 pregame Twins Pils deal a test drive

It really is amazing to think back to the last flight to the moon over 50 years ago… All of us have more power in our pockets (cell phones) than anything they had in the late 60s. They had to patch any pending issues with bubble gum and duct tape back then.
