Interesting lineup. No Buxton, Castro at third, Gordon in center with Michael A. getting his first day off.

Care to update the thread for those of us too lazy to look things up ourselves?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And i'm officially playing hooky.

 

If i remember to charge my phone, i just may post something from there.

 

Still frustrated with mlb ticketing that won't let me get one ticket for fear of stranding a seat...

It's all or nothin' for you too?

And thanks CRF for doing things by halves.

(Strephon's part in Iolanthe comes to mind)

Taylor had to get a day off eventually, but I thought maybe Buxton would be in center when it happened.....

The classic baldelli give up lineup on getaway day…

Other than Buxton not starting (and if you thought Buxton was going to start 162, I have some beachfront property adjacent to Target Field to sell), what makes this lineup significantly worse than pretty much any other lineup the Twins have rolled out this year?

Have another month or so before we'll see Buxton out there. Twins already said he's not stepping foot in the OF until mid-May at the earliest.

Rocco sat MAT! Obviously giving up.

I must have missed that news. A couple weeks ago I heard Rocco say playing CF would be evaluated at the end of April.

Falvey said in an interview....last week or the week before that the plan was Mid-May and to go from there.

Well Gordon can try to get back up to the Gordon line and Castro can try to stop heading for it.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

Going to have to demote one when Polo returns next week. Will it be Castro or Julien? To paraphrase Shakespeare, "To AAA or not to AAA, that is the question."

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I should take the T more often. Then i might be on time...

[James]

KKKKKepler, huh?

[RpR]

JJJJJulien, huh?

[mrtwinsfan]

Kepler

[Malachi]

cepler

[James]

Well, this is certainly not the start that I was hoping for. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Meatball   Maeda

[USAFChief]

Maeda topping out at 89...not a good sign.

[Dave Borton]

Tuned in 5 min late to hear Provus say, "If Kepler had gotten a better jump on that ball, he could have had it."

Sigh...
