Early morning game, Forum Threaders. 10:40 A.M. Seattle, 1:40 P.M. in Minneapolis. 6:40 P.M. in London for mostonmike!
Time to wrap up this series with a win to even the record at 16-16. The only point this season that the M's were above .500 was March 30th at 3-2.

Swat and Zap the Mosquito-infested Twins again. Today will be Cal's game to produce!

Face-off against Taj Ali Bradley, RHP. Both he and Logan Gilbert strike out about the same amount of batters. In Seattle's favor is Bradley gives up a few more homers and walks almost 3x the number of batters as Kirby. So, Be smart Mariners, not dumb fuckers that don't take free passes when gifted them.

One of my all-time favorite Minnesota Twins was Zoilo Versalles, 5'10", 146# SS from Cuba. Somehow, in 1965, he was the A.L. MVP. He did lead the league in runs scored, doubles, triples, total bases and strikeouts. His slash line was .273 \ .319 \ .462 \ .781. His league leading WAR was 7.2. He led the league with 39 errors but won the Gold Glove. He beat out his own teammate, Tony Oliva, who led the league in hilling with a .321 B.A.
The Twins won the A.L. that year and lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Sandy Koufax was the N'L, MVP.
Oh, Zoila's middle name was Casanova.

Hilarious that even for the time MVP voters somehow thought that Mudcat Grant was better than Mel Stottlemyre and Sam McDowell.

Note that 7 0f the top 15 were all Minnesota Twins players. Different voter ways of viewing things or politics back then.

Kirby bent, then broke.
Game is still close.

Jesus Christ the exit velo on the last two hits wouldn't have even got a ticket going through a school zone...

Those Twin singles were positively LAUNCHED.
79.4 and 73.2 mph.
They didn't catch us napping; they were so slow, they made us nap.

Leadoff walk then nothing from the big 3 though Julio drilled that line drive.

Cole "Clutch" Young!!!!!

It's not too late, but it's getting late.

And just like that, Canzone and Mr. Young, back-to-back doubles tie it up.

[DavidGee24]

Cole comes through again!

And like I said yesterday, the more a guy like Wilson plays the more he sucks. Should've quit while we were (way) ahead with him.
