In a rather strange twist of fate, the Minnesota Twins first ever home game (at Metropolitan Stadium, of course) was against...wait for it...

...the Washington Senators.

 

 

If they really wanted to have some fun with the fans, they should've had the same teams open the season in DC

Not related to treadmills, but if you find that drum catchy, maybe you'd like the Pogues.  Here's an old track of their's that the Byrne one called to mind - something Irish-y about his instrumentation, maybe, I'm no expert.

 

I do like The Pogues! Maybe it’s the drum! David Byrne of The Talking Heads is Scottish, so it could also be some UK thing….

It would be sweet if Prielipp strikes out Soto first time he faces him.

I thought it was reported that he was only going to sign with a contender.  And I don't believe the Twins qualify for that.

Zoilo being such an uncommon name, I asked ChatGPT about it.  That AI tool is never wrong, so I am providing its answer verbatim and without fact-checking anything, just in case anyone else finds the background interesting.

 

Nick name was Zorro -

Does Scotch mean the same thing as Scottish?

Perkins wasn't starting games past 2010, so if you use that year as a starting point these are the career leaders in games started for the Twins (b-r.com's Stathead tool):

72. Francisco Liriano 2010-2012

58. Scott Diamond 2011-2013

52. Brian Duensing 2010-2015

40. Tommy Milone 2014-2016

29. Martin Perez 2019

25. Adalberto Mejia 2016-2019

25. Hector Santiago 2016-2017

19. JA Happ 2021

19. Devin Smeltzer 2019-2022

I took the list this far because it kind of demonstrates how the number of lefties starting for the Twins has dwindled.  Depending on how you want to frame the question, I could nominate Liriano as the last real lefty starter, or Perez, or Happ.  But all the other names, particularly Diamond, provide some entertainment value, as frequently used lefties in their respective eras.
