All Things 2025 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

26 pitch 1st inning for Lopez, getting through 5 will be a challenge.
 


Twins with bases loaded and 1 out in the top of the 2nd and can't get any runs home.
 




Anyone having issues with DTV Stream? Because the game isn't working for me.
 

Hitting the ball on the nuts, but can't buy a break.

They've had a bunch of bleeders.
 


The Twins are now chasing the 1st Place White Sox. (+ Guards)

Well, Wallner is not a leadoff hitter and Buxton is a career .244 hitter

They just don't have the bats.

Agree, especially about Wallner. Too many strikeouts and pop ups to be a lead off hitter. Just bad at bats. Don't get it.

any rational provided on the telecast, why Wallner was leading off?

I didn't hear most of the broadcast, but it was pretty apparent in Spring Training that Wallner is going to be the primary lead off hitting.

I assume that they like his OB% and want to get him to the plate more often, which is the default for most teams decision as to pencil in the #1 spot.

I have less of an issue with Wallner hitting 1st than Buxton hitting 3rd. He's way too streaky to hit that high. Needs to be 6th or lower.
 

Once they got their $%% together and got the channels straightened out, the broadcast itself was fine. Really pretty indistinguishable from the BSN telecast but with less annoying graphics/score scrolls.

They also seemed to have sold their ad inventory to real companies and not some of the poverty ads you see on BTN during Gopher games. Hopefully a good sign for their finances.

The Costas intro for the Guardians on MLB.TV was pretty cool. I just caught it on DVR for the Twins Pregame I had programed.

I wonder what they had for the Twins debut? Sucks if we never get to find out.

I believe they played it during the post-game. It was also Costas.

Lopez with a bad start to open the season.

He seems to have a lot of bad luck often. Three of the singles he gave up yesterday had an xBA of .170 or lower.

Everything I've read is his stuff was really good. One example below. I wondered this last year, if he is tipping some of his pitches?

Pablo López (MIN) @ STL (L) – 5.0 IP, 2 ER, 8 Hits, 0 BBs, 3 Ks – 11 Whiffs, 26% CSW, 87 pitches.​


Man, PabLó looks so good and seemingly allows more hits than you feel like he should while watching him. The changeup was FILTHY in this one with five inches more drop than last year’s iteration, with stupid good location to LHB, yielding 5/18 whiffs, which has me all kinds of pumped for the year ahead. Sweepers were generally solid, sinkers were effective inside to RHB, and 95 mph velocity is all good here. I’m buying.

I fully realize I'm probably the biggest skeptic when it comes to the team's financials, but if you're allegedly in massive debt, why would you not sell the ad space on your uniform?

That is an odd disconnect. If nothing else, the Pohald's could slap one of their own companies patch on.
 


Glad to see the twins didn’t work on “put away” pitches this offseason. No one can get a 2 strike pitch by St Louis today.
