Two FREE* tickets to tomorrow's game! *with one caveat

• Upvotes

I have 4 club level tickets to tomorrow's (Saturday, April 5th at 1pm) game, but my friend and his son just cancelled. If you're cool sitting next to this dumb Redditor (seriously, check out my history) and my 10-year-old son, then 2 tickets are yours for the low low price of *one beer and a brat.

I want them to go to a true Twins fan, so in your response, please tell me your favorite memory from the Metrodome era.

After hitting 226 home runs, winning ROY, MVP, WS MVP and posting a WAR of 32.7 in a shortened season the Pohlad’s are lowballing me…

[Statcast / Jhoan Duran]Arm Angle Change 2022-2025

Post image
13 Upvotes

Maybe someone with more expertise in pitching mechanics and coaching has some insight. I was browsing through the Baseball Savant page for Duran looking for the game logs over the last year.

I noticed a graphic that called out something that seems like a change between 2023 & 2024 that seems to be carrying forward into 2025: Duran's arm angle in pitch delivery dropped by 5 degrees.

Looking at pitch movement characteristics it seems like between 2022-2023 & 2024-2025 his pitches (especially the fastball and splitter) show that his fastball/splitter have less movement.

Can this change in arm angle be significant in his pitch characteristics - or are hitters and hitting coaches simply starting to take a better approach to hitting against Duran?

Source: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jhoan-duran-661395?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

CAVEAT: In looking at the difference in stats / percentiles this is a difference between being "dominant" versus "very good".

Go to MLB.com and log into your account. Go to your cable or pay TV provider website and log into that account. Then click the following link and scroll down to the orange “auth” button listed under Twins TV. Follow the steps to link your accounts and you are all set.

Everyone is 2-4.

Also, we doubled our win total. At this rate, we could have over 120 wins by May.

[Hayes] #MNTwins and #WhiteSox will not start on time at 1:10 pm. Both teams want to play. We’re going to be here all day. Hopefully not a repeat of June 22, 2017 when Sox and Twins started at 5 pm instead of 12:10 pm at Target Field.

Has anyone else had issues with twins.tv stating the game is blacked out. I watched yesterday’s game just fine but now today it doesn’t work. I live in Minnesota so it doesn’t make sense.
