Today, I report to you LIVE from San Diego. Such is my commitment to TWINKIE TOWN DOT COM. As I understand it, it’s a weird start time back in Minnesota, and it’s a weird start time here. I will be weathering the game nonetheless. Such is my commitment to TWINKIE TOWN DOT COM.

As you already know, the Twins swept the first-place Atlanta Braves at Target Field earlier this week, launching them back into sole possession of the third Wild Card. They’re calling it the dumbest Twins season of all time, and in just a few short weeks we may be rolling our eyes at the notion that Minnesota had a chance at October baseball this year.
But if the season ended yesterday in, say, the mid-afternoon, they would get that chance — and after beating the drum all season that one of these six middling playoff hopefuls will finally get hot and go on a run, it’s not totally out of question to think that Minnesota could be the one team to do it. After all, we’re still waiting on this year’s double-digit winning streak.
Today, it’s a battle of the acquistions; Dean Kremer gets the ball for the Twins, and familiar opponent Casey Mize has the mound for San Diego, having been shipped off from the Detroit Tigers just a few weeks ago. Outside of the tail end of his previous start, Kremer has been remarkably decent for Minnesota, given his back-end profile.
Meanwhile, Mize got rocked for eight earned runs in a 3.1-inning debut against the Arizona Diamondbacks, before settling in for back-to-back six-inning starts of two runs or fewer, though neither outing saw him reach otherworldly dominance. (That would be a bit much to expect, I suppose, given his mostly terrestrial status as a human being so far.)
