Angels (Rodriguez) Vs Twins (Matthews): 7/10/26 7:10pm CTD

[Mortimerkenny21]

Another day. A new opponent, new series, and the quest for 500 before the ASB. Let's go Twins!!

[Whammy]

I know being above 500 is fun and all, but like with every series, I’d be happy with a 2-1 series win.

Keep doing that and good things will happen.

The Twins have assigned OF Kyler Fedko to St Paul  

No corresponding move announced yet but one would assume it will be C Ryan Jeffers.

Jeffers probably DH tonight which means Josh Bell will be 1st basemen.

Everyone , moves one step to the right. Will Royce play 3rd?

[Patzky]

Looking at Grayson Rodriguez' last start (June 8 vs Astros) He's got a 97 mph heater that trends wild and induced a lot of swings early, but he loses velocity after a few innings. Curve and slider, more hittable. If they can be patient they'll get their pitch. Center center meatballs were a problem late in his outing.

For those going to the game, stick around for the AEW Wrestling.   AEW is better than WWE, even though you are unlikely to get a view of the most entertaining heel of this millennium — MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman).   AEW is likely to feature stars from here (the tag team Top Flight and Julia Hart).

You need to take away Bell's glove, he should be nowhere the field.  Lewis is doing fine over there and hitting just as well, why would you sit him for Bell.

Tristan Gray is playing short stop again today.

I’ve got tickets to Sunday’s game and I will be very disappointed if Kreidler isn’t playing… Hopefully they’re just letting him get some rest for the next two games…

You better hope they have a LH pitcher going because the analytic nerds have determined Gray is a better option than Kreidler against RH pitching.

Now i'm trying to remember where i've heard the phrase "get used to disappointment" feature prominently...

 

I feel it is one of those things i should know instantly.

 

PS. I think it goes like...

 

You are wonderful.

Thank you. I worked hard to become so.

Who are you?

No one of consequence.

I must know!

Get used to disappointment.

 

(does that sound right?)

RP Tommy Nance.. the 🎯 darts continue. This one has had some success.. we lose an eighth round catcher prospect, Ryan Sprock. We also get some International bonus pool money from Toronto.

Huh. No Mike Trout in the Angels lineup. We shall take it.

If you're throwing darts, they've been hitting 1's and 3's instead of 18's, 19s and 20s.  Does Nance hit those numbers?  No, but does Nance hit 12s-15s instead of 3's and 5's.  Yes.

Agree.  That was meant more for @Church of Kreidler to express his concern that he hopes to see Kreidler on Sunday.  Bad news for him since Soriano is a RHP.  Too bad as Gray really shouldn't be out there.

Challenge for the K. 

Another shoddy umpire? Sheesh not again. 

I see Laz Diaz is on the crew too. Sunday should be a treat.

[Patzky]

Delay, I have a bad feeling something terrible happened on the foul ball

Laz Diaz and Brian O'Nora are retiring after the season.

[Patzky]

Good job by Jeffers and Clemens to move Larnach around.
