Game Thread: Twins v Marlins, 4/3 @ 5:40CT

[Squirrel]

 

Will post lineups when available. Or someone else can! 🙂

Go Twins!

[cHawk]

[wsnydes]

I hate saying this, but it's good to see Buxton in the lineup for the 4th consecutive game.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Someone please get Kep a doughnut for his pregame meal.  

Twins 5

Marlins 2

 

[Mortimerkenny21]

HR's for Miranda & Buxton. Twins 7 Marlins 3.

[twinssporto]

Buxton, Correa and Gallo all go yard tonight....Larnach goes 3-4.

Arraez goes 4-4 just to rub salt in the wound. (This is called a reverse jinx by the way)

Go Twins!

[raindog]

Oh boy. More Kepler at lead off. 

[Vanimal46]

FYI, Gleeman and the Geek are filling in for Dan Barreiro on KFAN 100.3 today. 

Edit: And Wednesday too, evidently! Plenty of Twins talk on the radio this week! 

[CRF]

Has to be a record for Rocco. With the exception of Jeffers/Vazquez, isn't this the exact same lineup for the 4th straight game?

[MMMordabito]

I like this early lineup stability.

PTC - Correa

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Our #8 hitter has a higher batting average than their lead off batter: Arraez.

 

Cool.

[SwainZag]

World love to see a strong performance from Mahle

[stringer bell]

Very un-Roccolike to ride the same lineup. I expect three or all four bench players start on Wednesday.

Will Krapfen suffice?

They did this with the lineups in 2019 too.

(and we all know how many games we won in 2019..)

First off, that looks delicious.  Second, as long as said pastry gets rid of Kep's 0-fer season doughnut, I'm happy.

Novel strategy - bat your worst hitter first - get the out - out of the way.  Been working so far.

A person once said to accomplish the worst work task right away in the morning so the rest of the day is better. Rocco is living that mantra.

Would love to see the Twins grab a win early in the series when you've got Alcantara on the mound tomorrow. Hoping for good velocity from Mahle and better production with RISP. Should be a good one!

[Squirrel]

Go Twiiiiiiiins!

[Mortimerkenny21]

How about that! Go Kep!!

 

[cHawk]

@Joe A. Preusser it appears Kepler had a few of those doughnuts.

[Squirrel]

Well, that’s a good way for Kepler to get it rolling 

[rwilfong86]

Kepleroni!

[Nine of twelve]

Acceptable opening plate appearance.

[CRF]

Somebody order more doughnuts for Kep!

[wsnydes]

Donuts For Kepler every day!

That's what Cueto was thinking.
