All the pitchers pushed back a day. Anyone know who the Game 2 starter will likely be for Saturday?

They go to Baltimore on Monday, so there's no wiggle room on the backend. I'd assume they call up Woods Richardson to start game 2, or go strict bullpen. They really have no other options, other than moving Dobnak to the 40-man.

Every rainout/delay is good for the Twins. It is one more day of Royce Lewis to recover and one less game he has to miss.

I guess if the games are postponed until monrhs later, sure.
Moving a game to Saturday has no effect on that.

Is this the furthest into the season Buxton's made it without being injured?

Grabbed his side after he struck out. Probably a broken leg.

Julien actually seeing the ball well. He gets demoted to 9th. The only thing Baldummy cares about is lefty/righty matchups.

He has no imagination. None. All numbers. They could fire him and have a robot manage.

Momentum is real. Hot streaks are real. Baldummy would pinch hit Drew Butera for Babe Ruth if the orher team had a lefty on the mound. One track mind.

To have any chance at a decent season they have to absolutely destroy the central, like only a few losses against each team . losing home opening series against Cle and demolished in a Lopez start against Det is just great.

On a news feed on my phone… there was a post on Twitter/X from someone from Detroit who was flying back home from MSP.

He posted a picture of Woods Richardson walking ahead of him with a packed Twins duffle bag/luggage getting on the flight he was on.

So yeah… I’d guess your assumption is right.

That’s the first… and only time I found anything from Twitter useful or interesting.

What a rough start to the season for our squad, f'n gross. Only good part is the excuse train can't get out of the station this early, they are who they are right now.

Watch the Twins make Maeda look like a Cy Young pitcher today.

They should destroy him.

Maeda is washed. If they don't absolutely fuck him up, even with the "B" lineup, the Twins have some real problems. We need to have an offensive explosion at some point here boys!

So Correa already hit the IL. Called up Jair Carmago to take his spot. They also DFA'd Tonkin, who they just traded cash for. The fuck was the point in that?

Maybe they think they can sneak Tonkin through to St. Paul? I don't know, it's a bad look.

I'd guess since he threw 2 innings yesterday, they can't use him today, so they wanted another arm. Can't imagine there's anyone that would claim him anyway.
