Angels beat up Twins

So, the song “The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota” is about the Biggest Ball of Twine in the world, or the biggest one in Minnesota? It was unclear and has bugged me for years. Anyway, Detmers was back and looking to knock the Twins down as that team actually has something to play for. He went 6 innings, giving up 2 runs on 5 hits, striking out 8 and walking 2. Which was a quality start, and not good for the Twine Twins.

Especially when the Angels scored lots of runs. Even Drury got involved! Remember him? Yeah, that was odd, and makes you wonder where was this the rest of the year.

Highlighted Recap

Nolan got the first runs across with a 1st inning single

2-0 Angels

And that it stayed until the 3rd, when Drury doubled that number with a HR.

4-0 Angels

The Twins did get one of those back though in the bottom of the inning

4-1 Angels

And another in the 4th

4-2 Angels

But Niko got those back in the 6th

6-2 Angels

Seriously, who is this guy? I know I haven’t been paying much attention to the farm but WHAT

JOSE SUAREZ IS IN THE GAME! PANIK

Somehow, someway, AAA fixed him, as he shut down the Twins for a 3 inning save. WHAT

Neto helped

D-FENCE

Angels win

Upcoming

More games vs the Twins. And then at home vs Houston this weekend. BLEH

we made it to 60. With those Chi WS games we might get to 70.

My Hopeium supplies aren’t that good. I think they’ll get me 7 more wins, but I’ll need somebody’s connection to get higher.

I predicted 59-103, IIRC, so like Kramer, I’m out.

One difference between the Doyers and us is Andrew Friedman is willing to go on their broadcast (as he did tonight)and lay out their battle plan while Minasian hides in his cubicle eating donuts. I would like Minasian to face us with a plan, whatever that might be.

If Detmers can consistently pitch to his potential the Angels are a much, much better team.

Suarez will now be used constantly to crush everyone’s hopium. But a nice pitching performance from Detmers.

Looking at the final pitch as shown on gameday it looks like the ump had some place to go and couldn’t wait

It was a check swing, strike three.

Don’t like helping the Mariners. But the win was nice.

Free Suarez!
