Hilarious Baseball .gif(s) of the Day: Can be found here, here, here, here (if you can figure out what's going on here, let me know, okay?), aaaand here (I remember my first time running too).



After the Twins disheartening loss last night, they look to their best starter, Scott Baker, to right the ship and start a new winning streak tonight. With the slow but steady return of the normal starters, most recently Denard Span, the Twins' lineup is finally starting to resemble an actual big-league club's.


After the jump, pitcher information, lineups, and notes.

For Minnesota:


Scott Baker

#30 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins

We all pretty much know what Baker brings to the table for the Twins, and we'll hope he is more effective than about 3/5ths of the rotation has been as of late.

For Anaheim:


Joel Pineiro

#35 / Pitcher / Los Angeles Angels

6-1

Baker's been much more effective than Pineiro has this year, but every time I make a prediction, it seems to go the opposite way, so I'm just going to leave you with his information for the year.
