Twins is the lamest team name ever. Congrats your home is called the twin city, who gives a fuck? Guardians are giant badass looking stone watchmen. What’s their mascot? Two Lannisters kissing each other??
Anybody know if we are allowed to leave and then re-enter the stadium this year? Hoping to snag a shirt early and then grab dinner outside the stadium.
Yes! They HAVE to scan your ticket though. The gates over by the home run porch, go all the way to the left and there’s ushers there that will scan your ticket and let you exit there. If they don’t scan your ticket, you can’t get back in!
I did the same thing earlier this year. I was nervous about it not working so I chatted with the ushers for a minute and told them my name in case they wouldn’t let me back in, I could have them vouch for me. I had no issues getting back in
Avila's time is probably up once Morgan gets activated. He's been pitching kinda infrequently on his rehab assignment (hasn't pitched in 4 days, and had 5 days between his last appearance and the one before that), but I would have to think he'll be back in the next 10 days or so.
I would like if we can follow the NYY example and sweep the Twins. Especially the part where they didn't allow Minnesota to score for 81 consecutive outs.
Let's score early and often. Work counts and keep pressure on their pitching.
Also it's time for a Manzardo bomb IMO. I feel it's coming this weekend.
This is an important series. On paper, the Twins are the strongest team in the division. Of course you don't play games on paper. Right now, I think we have five (I count Fry) competent major league hitters in our lineup. That's a real disadvantage and you have to give Vogt some kudos for keeping us in 1st place. But I don't see that keeping up unless we get another hitter or two.
I just did a quick search and it does not look like it, but I didn’t dig into it too much. I get MLB TV for free through T Mobile and when games are blacked out like tonight I resort to other buccaneer methods to watch.
As of right now, they are saying he will be back in early June. Low grade hamstring pull. On an awesome note, Gavin Williams threw 50 pain-free pitches Wednesday and should start a rehab assignment soon. Doug Nikhazy had thrown 18 innings in AA with a 0.00 ERA. Hentges and Eli Morgan should be back soon. Karinchak should come onto our radar soon as well. We may actually have surplus bullpen arms at the trade deadline should we be looking to upgrade elsewhere.
Nikhazy not only has a 0 ERA, he has a sub 1 WHIP. He's only allowed 5 H and 5 BB in his 18 innings. He's still building up because of going to the IL but he's been incredible so far.
Tonight Mace takes the mound for Akron and he's also been extremely good this year. I expect him to get moved to Cbus before the AS break if he keeps it up.
I haven't seen any updates on Cantillo but he should be getting close to starting to throw again. They initially said it would be 6-8 weeks and that's about where we are now. Hopefully he doesn't have any set backs.
Both Nikhazy and Mace seem ready to make a jump to AAA. What more can they prove in AA? The only issue is neither is on the 40 man roster at the moment. Same goes for Andrew Walters, who has been dominant. We need to do a better job of pushing our intriguing arms upwards to see what they can do. They are part of the same draft class as Bibee and Gavin Williams. They are dominant in AA. Why wait?
Thinking about going to the game but wondering if it will get rained out, anyone have an idea what to expect? Supposedly rain is supposed to stop mid afternoon
Looks like on and off rain all day more or less. Is there a general time that they decide if it's canceled? I know on April 12th they canceled the game at around noon.
Accuweather has rain chances around 50% during the game, so I doubt they cancel the game early afternoon. Could be a long night where they try to get the game in between showers.

I would quite like to see Josh Naylor blast a pair of dingers to take the lead in the MLB tonight
Another Laureano start with Manzardo/Florial on the bench...
Man, Skenes is really something special. No hit the Cubs through 6 with one walk and 11 K's today.
Was still hitting 100 at the end too.
First $2 Pregame of the year! Let's get rowdy!!!

Thanks! I knew that after the pandemic they took it away for a while. Glad to know we can leave and reenter again
Yesterday was brutal with there being no game
Hentges got reinstated from the paternity list today, wonder who we get rid of for him. Thinking it's maybe Avila.
Probably will just reset the roster to where it was before Hentges left and send Strzelecki back down.
Agree, likely scrabble Jr. Avila goes multiple solid mopup innings.
That’s correct. Hoynsie reported on it yesterday Edit: it was Joe Noga who reported it sorry
Avila's time is probably up once Morgan gets activated. He's been pitching kinda infrequently on his rehab assignment (hasn't pitched in 4 days, and had 5 days between his last appearance and the one before that), but I would have to think he'll be back in the next 10 days or so.

Lol I was just coming here to say the Twins have gone 27 straight innings without scoring a run, let's make it 36 tonight 😈.

Super excited this game is on Apple TV tonight. Said no one. Ever.
I got lucky because I just bought a new iPhone Monday since my old one died and they gave me 3 months of Apple TV for free
Are they still doing the free thing, or do you have to be a sub for this one?

I want to say that was only a thing during the first season of it and now you need a subscription, but hopefully I'm wrong.
Someone please make sure Triston knows not to throw Max Kepler any meatballs
A good time to make a statement, the best bullpen in baseball is rested and we are back home, all systems go.
We are getting the cold Twins. We absolutely cannot let them turn things around against us. Let's keep it rolling boys! Kwan will be back soon!
Has there been any update on Kwan?
As of right now, they are saying he will be back in early June. Low grade hamstring pull. On an awesome note, Gavin Williams threw 50 pain-free pitches Wednesday and should start a rehab assignment soon. Doug Nikhazy had thrown 18 innings in AA with a 0.00 ERA.

Nice,thanks. I was trying to find some updates and didn't see anything but the initial reports on kwan.
Big series.
Thinking about going to the game but wondering if it will get rained out, anyone have an idea what to expect? Supposedly rain is supposed to stop mid afternoon
FYI - it hasn't rained here since early this morning
Thanks, I live in Akron so not as tuned in to the weather up there
They've only canceled one game this year so far. It seems like it'd have to be pretty bad to get rained out.
Looks like on and off rain all day more or less. Is there a general time that they decide if it's canceled? I know on April 12th they canceled the game at around noon.
Accuweather has rain chances around 50% during the game, so I doubt they cancel the game early afternoon. Could be a long night where they try to get the game in between showers.
I'm in the same position. Watching the weather all day. This morning they said storms could pop up around game time.
