Player: José Ramírez
EV: 99.3 mph
LA: 35 degrees
Distance: 380 feet
xBA: .290
HR in 28/30 parks
Twins fan rage factor: 7.8
The Twins fan rage factor is calculated by how many mph below 100 mph a home run's velocity is, plus how much its xBA is below 1.000, times 10, indicating how "lucky" they think the Guardians must be. Values above 5 will send Twitter into a rage. Values above 8 are elite and have been associated with riots.

The new visual is awesome. One thing though, if I go to players/batters, I can’t see the 8/9 batters for Cleveland since the two pinch hitters are there and it doesn’t appear I can scroll.

I'm sure they're still taking out frustrations over that 22-1 they blew against the White Sox.

At least our lack of hitting and Parker's strong pitching will help speed up the game for those in attendance once the delay ends.

Good to see Parker battle through a couple shaky innings and then be able to settle in once we have him breathing room. RoY and Cy Young finalist shit.

Winning this and if the Twins hold off the White Sox would be huge as Chicago would only have gained a game on us.

Lead is not safe for Logan Allen. Get Bailey behind the plate and World Series champion Austin Hedges on the bump to close it out

Just tuned in and I see our pitcher gave up another 1st inning run. Since the AllStar game we’ve been shut out 7 times and we’ve shut out the other team 1 time. If we have such great pitching why can’t our pitchers throw a few more shutouts?
