Team 1: violated numerous COVID protocols, got 2 weeks to prepare for a game, put many people’s health at risk.
Team 2: Abided by all COVID protocols, had 1 week to prepare for 2 different teams.
Yet the NFL decided to work around team number 1. Makes sense.

Royce Lewis running through some pregame routines testing out the quad one more time before he begins his rehab assignment tonight in Buffalo. Working on start/stopping, looks good to go. He’s DH’ing in the 2 spot tonight.

It’s time for another fun Jose Miranda note:
He now has enough plate appearances to qualify among the Triple-A East stat leaders. Here’s where he ranks in the league:
AVG: 1st - .338
OPS: 2nd - .948
SLG: 3rd - .557
OBP: 4th - .390
He’s so good.

#MNTwins
Man, how great was Louie Varland tonight?
7.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 0BB, 8K, 77P/54K
All 3 hits were ground ball singles finding the hole. He was ON ONE tonight.

Saints have gotten in the endzone 3 times tonight, leading 21-4. The two safties they’ve given up will be a focus for the team to improve on in the bye week.
Thru 6 at CHS Field. 21 runs a season high for the Saints.

Buxton turns on the jets as he rips a ball off the RF wall and slides head-first into 3rd with a triple. 1-2, 3B, BB today.
Folks,,,,

Some numbers from
@StPaulSaints
explosive night:
-17 runs are 3rd most by one team in ANY Triple-A game this season.
-36 total bases are 2nd most in ANY Triple-A game this season AND 4th most in ANY MINOR LEAGUE game this season.
many are saying this is good
#MNTwins
Hi friends,
As a result of a lack of games to call in recent months, I put together some of my recent 🏀 PxP. Twitter doesn't allow me to put too much here, but enjoy. Love it or hate it, I always appreciate feedback!
TV ➡️ Radio
The
@StPaulSaints
put up 13 runs in the first 2 innings tonight.
That’s the most by any Triple-A East team in the first 2 innings of a game this season.
#MNTwins
McDermott: “I got a letter this week from a first grade class wishing us luck. It’s truly been unbelievable to see the support for this team throughout the community.”
#GoBills
BREAKING: tonight’s
@StPaulSaints
game has been PAUSED because you cannot start a full inning after 12:50am. Will be picked up tomorrow. Details to follow, if you’re awake, I guess
So, there’s that.
#MNTwins
TOP 6 | Byron Buxton doubles to the left-center gap in his 3rd AB. It’s the first hit for the Saints since Miranda’s leadoff single in the 1st inning.
2-0 Toledo
#MNTwins
David Festa turning in his best performance of the season with
@StPaulSaints
this year.
4.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 5K, 57P/39S
Got 14 whiffs, 9 coming with his slider. Was far more efficient today, only 3 batters had 6+ pitch at-bats
#MNTwins
Great year for first-year Head Coach Scott Hemer with
@CanisiusWBB
. This is the first year since 2014 where both the men’s and women’s teams will have a bye in the
#MAACHoops
tournament.
#Griffs
freshman Takal Molson named the
#MAACHoops
Rookie of the Week after he averaged 18.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game last week. This is the fourth time this season he’s been the league’s top rookie.
#Phase1Done
Jose Miranda leads off with a single through the right side and we’re underway in Lumbus. It extends hit streak to 12 games, his longest in Triple-A.
#MNTwins
Absolutely stunning night in St. Paul. Saints had one of their best pitching performances of the season yesterday, Jordan Balazovic tries to replicate it tonight. First pitch at 7 on the SBN and !
#MNTwins
Alright Rice Krispie treat is the popular answer here. Worth noting: one is already stuck on the left side. Everything above is light stuff, chips etc. We’re going for the Rice Krispie. Results coming soon.
MID 6 | Matt Shoemaker turning in another beautiful start for St. Paul. Has thrown 6 shutout innings allowing just 1 hit and striking out 4, walking 2, 78P/56S so far.
Saints still lead 1-0.
#MNTwins
BOT 1 | Brent Rooker: SIZZLING
Another HR for him. 2-run homer to right gets the Saints on the board. His 13th of the season extends his on-base streak to 17 (!!!) games.
2-0 Saints.
#MNTwins
TOP 9 | Could not be going better for the Saints today. Andrew Albers has thrown 8 shutout innings and Jose Miranda just hit a solo homer.
8-0 Saints
#MNTwins
Saints POURING it on tonight. They lead 17-4 top 5.
It’s the 4th time this year they’ve scored 17+. They are the only team in Triple-A to do it more than twice.
Only 3 other teams in the minors have done it 4x (Low-A Bradenton (5x), Delmarva and Tampa)

#MNTwins
What a wild game. The
#Griffs
had all kinds of energy today and got really strong play from the bigs.
Also- Isaiah Reese’s stat line:
20pts/8reb/3asst/5stl
That is

Andy Helwig began announcing just four years ago but has already earned a position with a minor league baseball team. He even has the chance of working alongside two of his better friends.
20 minutes before every first pitch be sure to join Saints Pregame on KFAN Plus (and sometimes KFAN) to get breakdowns of everything Saints and the top

3 years ago today, the world was shut down and I had just moved to Myrtle Beach with nothing to do, so I brought a friend home from the Grand Strand Humane Society. I have no recollection of what life was like before this. Juice is the best boy.
BOT 4 | I’m telling you guys, there’s something special in the air tonight at CHS Field.
#BuxtonWatch
pt. 3 results in a sac fly that was probably 5 feet from being his 3rd HR of the night. Still goes down as a sac fly.
11-7 Omaha
#MNTwins
It’s official:
@Griffs_MBB
will host a ranked team for the first time ever at the Koessler Center on Saturday as UB checks in at
#21
. Also, it will be the first time the
#Griffs
are playing the
#21
ranked team. They had played every other ranking 1-25 before except 21.
Huge thank you to
@ByErikBrady
for telling my story this far! Was amazing to come back and call games at Sahlen Field last week. It didn't hurt the Saints took five out of six either 😉
BOT 3 | Josh Winder is being removed from this game. Line drive came back to him, looks like he may have gotten his glove on it, but also may have caught part side of the head/neck. Walking off under his own power, never went down. Initial reaction he appears to be ok.
#MNTwins
So,
@ChefsBuffalo
has taken a side on this issue.
Its owner Lou Billittier saying in a Facebook post he supports the PBA, cops will eat for free at his restaurants, and "law and order is what separates us from the animals."
@WKBW
For those scoring at home - just the 5th time in Astudillo’s career that he’s recorded a walk and a stolen base in one game. First since 7/27/18
