It’s good news that Friday the 13th comes on a Monday this April. Those are lucky days.

And by the way, Skubal is pitching tomorrow at 7:40 EDT. And yes, it will still be cold probably in the 40° range and with windchill feeling colder than that.

Really. The platooning thing is what you do when you’re dealing from a position of weakness. And yes, there’s a methodology backed up by data and I respect that and do not intrinsically dispute it, but wouldn’t it be nice to see several McGonigle type players in the lineup that you don’t have to pull again and again for late inning replacements? That’s probably asking for too much but I would still like it.

I guess if you can’t say something positive you should say nothing so I won’t say anything about the soul crushing disappointment I’m feeling as this game got away from us.

Or this….

Jeez Louise what a crappy inning.

Why does gameday try to get people to vote for “the player of the game” in the seventh inning when the game hasn’t been decided? I wish I could always vote for Brandon Inge just for the hell of it.

Matt Vierling doubles (1) on a line drive to right fielder Matt Wallner. Matt Vierling to 3rd. Matt Vierling advances to 3rd, on a fielding error by right fielder Matt Wallner.

101 pitches in five innings for Ryan. I hope the twins haven’t destroyed this guy. This game is frustrating, but it is not without its moments.

Damn

First and second 2 outs be the hero we need Riley.

Kevin McGonigle hits a ground-rule double (4) on a line drive down the left-field line. he’s like a gift from heaven.

Two run Homer by Twins makes it 5–3.

Strike out on three pitches well, at least we’re tied

Do something good Parker

Zach McKinstry singles on a ground ball to right fielder Matt Wallner. Gleyber Torres scores. Colt Keith scores. Spencer Torkelson to 3rd. Zach McKinstry to 2nd. 3-3.

Heck 3-0

Bases loaded, No outs… maybe I should watch something more amenable to my sensitivities such as Susu Road to revenge…

Jake should have challenged that strike called 6 inches outside the strike zone

Actually, I’m quite amazed we got out of that inning, unharmed, other than the fact that Casey chewed up nearly 1/3 of all of his pitches in one inning.

Matty can’t catch the ball…

Casey might be having a hard time getting a grip on that ball. I hope he doesn’t walk to the bases loaded.

United Healthcare and Target, two of the most revered brands in the United States of America.

According to Jason, we’re also down an umpire.
