First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
There has been a lot Andrew Painter has seen over their first month in the big leagues. He joined a contending team that got off to an uneven 8-8 start, then lost ten straight, and one of the greatest managers in the history of the franchise got sacked not even 30 games into the season. […]
Friday night’s series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates couldn’t have gone much worse for the Cincinnati Reds. First, they sat out a lengthy rain delay in PNC Park and eventually waded into a drubbing at the hands of the Bucs in cool temperatures, their arms and bats looking as soggy as the 9-1 scoreline. Brady […]

Today’s game is a 2:00 starts. It made it nice for me, I could enjoy the Newcastle United win without leaving it at the end. I haven’t had enough Newcastle wins this year. Andrés Giménez isn’t in the lineup again today. After yesterday’s error, I was wondering if he was 100%. He didn’t look right. […]
The Dodgers have lost three games in a row for the first time this season, their overall record Staind due partly because it’s been a while since they last hit a home run. Shohei Ohtani last Sunday in the seventh inning homered off Chicago Cubs reliever Hoby Milner, which snapped Ohtani’s 59-plate-appearance gap without a […]

The NL East leading Atlanta Braves, who have a 7.5 game lead and refuse to lose a series, have made a roster move before tonight’s game with the Colorado Rockies. Anthony Molina was helpful in last night’s come-from-behind win for the never-say-die, put-them-in-a-Walt-Weiss-sleeper-hold Braves. He pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh inning with a walk […]
