Getting paid to watch baseball, specifically the Minnesota Twins for the Star Tribune. No, I can't believe it, either.
Joined August 2010
Opening Day for the Twins is two months from today, March 27 in St. Louis. Pablo Lopez vs. Sonny Gray, I’d guess.

@shabelson I’m told there will be a combo MLB/Twins offering, that lifts Twins blackout while providing all previous MLB games you were getting. So, in the metro, pretty much every MLB game. Price yet to be announced.

@shabelson Hmm, afraid I don’t know the answer to the first question, especially since the pricing is so similar. You’ve always been subject to blackouts before, right? As for the second, it will work on all streaming devices, TVs included.

My phone says I took this at Target Field on June 22, 2016, two weeks after the Twins drafted 18-year-old Alex Kirilloff in the first round. Whew, that went fast. Good luck to @AKirilloff19 in retirement.

Dodgers have activated RHP Brusdar Graterol, limited to just 7 games this season due to shoulder injury, for the World Series. He’s only ex-Twin on either roster this year. Seven straight WS champs have included a former Twin.

Tigers clinch wild-card spot by beating White Sox, 4-1. Twins’ only hope left is the Braves sweeping KC this weekend. Atlanta leads 2-0 tonight, but Twins trail Orioles 2-0, too.

Coming off two promising starts on the Twins’ road trip last week — he allowed two runs over 9 1/3 innings with 11 strikeouts vs. Guardians and Red Sox — Zebby Matthews has been named Twins minor-league Player of the Year by Baseball America. He had 114 Ks, 7 walks in minors!

Through four innings of Game 2, the Twins have now extended their homer-free streak to 46 consecutive innings, longest home run drought of the season. On the bright side, Christian Vázquez ended the Twins’ hitless streak at just six innings.

KC loses its seventh straight game to fall into a tie with Detroit at 82-74, though the Royals own the tiebreaker with Detroit. Twins can create a three-way tie with a win in today’s Game 2. With a win in Texas, the Mariners would be 81-75, one game back.
