After a thrilling walk-off win, the Twins face Atlanta in Game 2 of a three game series. I’m traveling today and drove by Cleveland’s home park in the rain. I predict a weather delay for the Cleveland vs. Texas game, although the rain might pass by game time.

 

I am writing and saving this note without internet access, so no lineups. Berríos vs. recently recalled Foltynewicz.

Lineups!

Several Braves fans here early. Many of them became Braves fans watching them on TBS. tonight is “Tomorrow Night” again! Last time Twins hit walk-off HR against Braves was Game 6 in 1991 WS. Maybe Berrios gives 10 shutout innings tonight!

Cron in the 9 hole

Hopefully we get the bad Foltynewicz tonight. 

 

Or as Braves fans would say, Foltynewicz is Polish for home run.

That sounds kinda dirty for some reason.

How about this one? I predict Kepler and Cruz will tag-team Foltynewicz and both slam him in the same inning. Am I doing it right?

I'd prefer Berrios pitches all 9 and we win 5-0 with a no-hitter or perfect game.

I love #9 hitters that hit bombas.  Nasty, nasty lineup we have.

The Cleveland game is postponed. They will play a doubleheader tomorrow. Let's hope they also get to extra innings before they come to Minnesota!!

Well that's a terrible way to get started.

Not the best way to start but Berrios will give those up sometimes

Acuna's a stud so no surprise he'd hop on that first pitch fastball to start the game.  No worries, it's just one run.

Dick fooled us all there with his gregarious call!

Close, Dick.

Enjoy the game ... I’m at the theatre tonight. Will check in at intermission so, Aggies? Behave, and go spit out back!

Berrios does not seem like he was shaken by that leadoff HR. He looks ready to go deep into this one.

 

Let's support him, hitters!

Garver's been hiding on the bench a lot lately, would be nice to see him get on a hot streak.

Ugly swing there on strike 3, Garv Sauce. Time for Arraez to jump start this offense tonight.

Did we win yet?

Did i just throw one o' them snapper mow 'em down innings?

 

Snappy, eh!

 

No, not phased...

Sano's plate discipline is about 50 times better than what it was in June. He's an entirely different hitter at the plate!

Good eye Sano!!!!!

Jose was lookin' good that last inning

Boys gotta get hitting against this guy.

Patience.  It took one time thru the order last nite before they tagged Soroka.

Eek.

And that's a terrible way to continue.

 

YUCK

ATL's top 3 guys just demolishing Berrios right now. Yeowch.
