We are Healthy - Cue Kenny Loggins - This is it

[Riverbrian]

I've been thinking about the Twins like I usually do and this song is in my head today.

Make no mistake where you are
(This is it)

The Offense is officially healthy - Thee Starting Lineup is in place tonight against Cleveland.  

Your back's to the corner
(This is it)
 

The Lineup tonight with Batting Averages hurts to look at

Don't be a fool anymore
(This is it)

Yep this is it: 

1. Polanco 2B - .284

2. Kirilloff 1B - .314

3. Correa SS - .211

4. Buxton DH - .221

5. Kepler RF - .195 

6. Lewis 3B - .333

7. Gallo LF - .194

8. Taylor CF - .214

9. Vazquez C - .233

The only decent batting averages have a combined 174 AB's and that would rank third on the team in AB's if they were combined.  

Yeah I know, there are better metrics to display. I understand this but these BA's are incredible.

Anybody ready to play I'm Alright from Kenny after looking at those BA's.

I took a look at May stats just now. Top candidates to turn the page to June--Vázquez (.446 OPS), Kepler (.548), MAT (.552), Buck (.645). Pitchers--Jax 1-4 5.56 ERA, JLópez 0-2 9.00 ERA

Incidentally, the Twins were 12-15 despite outscoring their opponents by 20 runs in May.

Um ... this should really go into the game thread ... just sayin' :)

You’re right. I posted it in the wrong thread.

If we are due a correction... It should be massive.

We might go 35 and 5.

Take this insanely optimistic vibe, distill it, and let me sip on it please.

DFA Kepler, Pagan and Lopez, and maybe we got a chance.

Normally I would say "sorry about the Jinx" that I obviously let loose.

However...  I can be forgiven since the injuries last night are three low numbers off the board.

Unreal timing!

Worse than you realized, as it currently looks like Vazquez is our only substitute in tonight's game.

The bench sounds thin to me. Perhaps too thin. They should call someone up.

Gallo could be going IL for the hammy. Get Wallner back over here!
