Game Thread: Yankees v Twins, 4/26 @ 12:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Go for the sweep!

 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Woohoo! Let's go Twins! Looks like a gorgeous day for baseball! ☀️

[Squirrel]

Wonder if the ump will be checking Germán today …

[stringer bell]

I’ll be there this afternoon! No Buxton and Taylor. Castro at third, Gordon in center and Miranda at DH. 
 

Seven LH or switch hitters, only Vazquez and Correa right handed.

No Jorge either.  Here's hoping to the bats jump on German early.

[Doctor Gast]

Yeah, go for the sweep baby! Good luck to Maeda, Go Twins! Let's bury the Yanks!

[stringer bell]

Odds are we’ll see one or more of Headrick, Moran, Pagán or Stewart. I guess I’d most like to see Stewart.

Yikes! That hurts. Let's suck it up & stick it to sticky German.

I didn’t see that. Makes sense not to push Polanco, but he’s the hottest hitter.

Agreed.  5 games in 5 days freshly coming of the IL probably had a lot to do with the day off but yeah sucks seeing a guy hitting the ball like him out of the lineup.

[umterp23]

Miranda in the cleanup spot, not sure he shouldn't be 7th or 8th in this lineup.  Gordon sure needs to make something happen as his days are quite numbered

 

[CRF]

Kenta needs to be on his game because we need to sweep this series! Go Twins!

[USAFChief]

I continue my loathing of the Twins need to sit healthy players for no reason.

 

[chinmusic]

For some reason, I have the urge to listen to the Stones "Sticky Fingers" LP🙂

I'd keep at least one home field camera on him at all times.

Agreed.  Polanco I can understand a little. But Buxton is streaky, and right now he's streaky on the positive side. And Taylor has been steady all year with Gordon just not quite up to par so far. Let's hope for the best.

Expecting to see Kiriloff on the team tomorrow. He’s crushing and twins need to take advantage of that. If he hurts the wrist again it doesn’t matter if it happens in AAA or MLB since he’d hit the IL regardless (and his season would likely be over). Castro DFA makes the most sense.

If there were no reason they wouldn't be sitting. So there are reasons. It's just that you don't like the reasons.

Wonder if umps will do anything when they catch him cheating again

[RickOShea]

I didn't know DHing could be so taxing.

[Melissa]

I’m here!

Even more so since their best players are NOT taking the day off, despite having to travel prior to their game tomorrow.

There are also reasons TO play them. Just like any other day.

Meanwhile, the Yankees, traveling to Texas this afternoon for a game there tomorrow, also have reasons to rest Judge or Rizzo...and reasons not to.

Lets    do it
