Both Correa and Buxton out??

 

Not a fan of the Twins part time play policy.

[Craig Arko]

I don’t think this road trip is going to go well. Hope I’m proven wrong.

Me too!!!!!

[stringer bell]

It appears Miranda had a very short stay in St. Paul. Twins bench today--Buxton (out), Correa (out) Kepler (out).

Would be preferable to not rest both Buxton and Correa in the same game. The Division III school where I went to college had an outstanding hoop team with two All-Americans. The coach never had both on the bench at the same time unless the game was a blowout. (We won the Division III title my senior year.)

I'm betting the original plan was to have Lewis at SS today.

Glen Perkins has a lot of salt in the beard and hairline now.

Was he doing the pregame? I literally refuse to watch former Twins All-Star catcher Tim Laudner. He says nothing, but he repeats what he says.

It's a test of their mettle. How well can they adapt to players missing from the lineup and rotation? How much depth do they truly have? 

Hopefully their mettle turns out to be metal ... like steel!

OMG by this defense we're in trouble. It'd have been smart to save Lewis for today at SS where we needed him than throw him unneccessarily to the wolves in CF yesterday.

Maybe they can steal one 

[CRF]

Before the game starts, I just want to wish everyone a very safe, enjoyable Memorial Day. Whatever your individual plans may be. May God bless you and yours. Please don't forget the true meaning of Memorial Day, is to honor all the brave men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military. GO TWINS!

Too bad they played Lewis in cf(smh) yesterday or he’d be at short today

You don't know that, at all. It's possible, or, it's possible he gets hurt worse playing elsewhere. Players get hurt. No amount of hindsight makes anything preventable

[PDX Twin]

Yeah, Jim Kaat! Best in the business nowadays!

He's 83 years old too! Still as sharp as they come.

Well, does that mean you were opposed to having Lewis recalled? He could play maybe once a week at shortstop and maybe twice a week at third or he could play in the outfield too and get near fulltime plate appearances. Sure, it stinks that he got hurt, but he was going to play unfamiliar positions if he was going to be in the lineup enough to be up with the major league club.

[stringer bell]

Nice at bat from Mr. OBP, followed on the next pitch by a GDP?

 Even with the day off today, what are the chances they both play both games tomorrow?

[rwilfong86]

Hopefully we can get 7 innings from Bundy and get a W to start this series
