[jsnpritchett]

Twins are giving a lot of guys days off since they won the title last night.

Our second string can beat the Twins second string!

Go Halos!

Rosenberg isn't quite in the Tyler Anderson camp for me, but he's definitely another guy who I just do not enjoy watching pitch.  I don't know if it's motion, his stuff, or a combo, but he just bugs me for some reason.

428-foot shot by Adell!  Nice.

Vasgersian is still terrible on fly ball calls.  Frequently thinks balls are going out that turn out to be routine/semi-routine outs.

[jsnpritchett]

Rosenberg hasn't looked pretty, but he's through 4 without allowing any runs.  I guess pitching against a bunch of hungover second-stringers does help after all.

Why are there faded football lines on the field?

"The reigning national champion South Dakota State University Jackrabbits will host Drake University at Target Field on September 16, 2023. The contest between the two Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) programs will be an SDSU home game; it also marks the third college football game in the 14-year history of Target Field and the second NCAA Division I contest."

No clue why schools from South Dakota and Iowa are playing a football game in a baseball stadium in Minnesota, but there you have it.

Lol, Schanuel hustles and narrowly beats a throw to eke out an infield single, keeping his on-base streak alive!

...but gets thrown out at home on a double.  He shouldn't have been sent.  More bad calls from the 3rd base coach.

Much obliged.

[daygloman]

Wow, they pulled it off!

Light up the Halo!

Go Halos!

[Waybackman]

Or maybe not. Yay!

A win today and possible rainout tomorrow could impact the push to get to the 5th draft position, guys.  Priorities!

A bit of nostalgia this series. Walsh with a homer yesterday. Fletcher showing his defense this game. Too bad they couldn't have sustained what they showed earlier in their careers. 

Really unexpected pitching today. Adell capitalizes on the one bad pitch that Gray threw. Rosenberg somehow escaped the bases loaded and hung in awkwardly but good enough. The relievers for once held the lead. 

Twins still in celebration mode probably but once the game starts it's business as usual. 

How many runners have been thrown out at home with bad coaching? Schanuel isn't fast and he was slowing down as he rounded third. Also more risk of an injury on collisions at home.

Assuming no long trips to the IL.

That's a risky assumption.
