Twins (Woods Richardson) Vs Nationals (Irvin) : 4/7/26 12:05 pm CDT

[C-Gangster]

Can they win the series? 🥱

[thelanges5]

Only teams with a worse record than the Twins in the last 162 - Nats, WSox, Rox

Yesterday was a total clunker. Pitching and hitting were sh****

🚽 and win the series, LFG Twins!

[Brock Beauchamp]

I put the data into ChatGPT, and after long deliberation, it concluded that both teams would score in excess of 43 runs today.

	SAT	SUN	MON	TUE	WED	TOT
Taylor Rogers	0	32	0	0	0	32
Luis García	18	0	0	13	14	45
Kody Funderburk	14	3	0	0	17	34
Justin Topa	10	17	0	0	32	59
John Klein	12	0	0	0	0	12

WOPR of a SIMulation.

Amazing to imagine that's it's possible. But it is. Huge series coming up .. kinda.

The only Twins to have hit HR against Irvin are.. Bell and Wallner. Who hit the top five on the R &B charts in 1978 with their single Power in the Capitol.

Buck Larnach Martin

Jeffers Wallner Keaschall

Clemens Lee Gray

 

Maybe Lee is better suited down there. Another Royce absence, and Larnach takes Bell's DH spot today. Shelty is convinced Wallner's fixed! Now about Sim...

I like having Wallner in there, see if he can continue to build off his last couple of games.  I am not sure about sitting Lewis again, Gray is no more than replacement level.   They need to see if he can work thru his struggles.  We are not going anywhere this year.

Minnesotan weather! Let's take the series.and forget about run differential 😊

[umterp23]

Bench by numbers, pretty bad representation of cost of good vs value

If the playoffs started today, the AL bracket would look like this:

The Rays (24-12) would host the Mariners (18-20) for the right to play the Yankees (25-12)

The Guardians (19-19) would host the Tigers (18-20) for the right to play the A's (18-18)*

In other words, one side of the bracket would have two teams on a 108+ win pace, while the other would have nobody over .500

Gary Bettman thinks this is a great bracket

*EDIT: it's possible they could swap the Guardians and A's, but same difference

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Okay, Sim. Let's see your best Mikolas impression - embattled starting pitcher with awful numbers - pitches well and gets the win.

[Chris Hove]

Could this be the 6 INN 0 ER start for SWR that we get like once or twice a year?

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Why does this look like the biggest ballpark in the history of baseball? 

[Patzky]

Rush job again

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh, FFS. Come on Sim.

But we know he's due for 4 strikeouts  ...

Walks will.. well, see last night.

[Patzky]

Sim is up in the zone. That's new.

[LakesPibble]

I like Sim.  I want to see him succeed.

Unfortunately, reality has other ideas.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Wow. Some slick fielding there. Pleasant surprise.

If Lewis isn't hurt, they need to send him down to get some ABs at St. Paul.  I don't think time in his own head on the bench will help.

[Chris Hove]

A converted DP, let's gooooo. 

[Patzky]

Patience , good AB

[Patzky]

Cmon Luke!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Productive out, Wallner. 

[Western SD Fan]

Nice job to hit it where they ain't!  Nice defense by the Nats to keep the run for scoring.

[Peter]

Let’s get a win today!!!
