Game Thread: Guardians (McKenzie) v Twins (Ryan), 6/4 @ 1:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Get it! Go Twins!

(Lineups posted when available.)

 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Would be great to take this series! Hopefully McKenzie is a little rusty and get him out early. I know we struggled against him last season. Go Twins! 

[CRF]

Can't wait to see what the lineup is gonna be. Hopefully, we don't do the getaway day special...we need to win today before the road trip. We'll have all we can handle with the Rays and Jays coming up.

No Buxton or Correa. And Garlick starting over Kirilloff, didn't realize McKenzie was left-handed 

[stringer bell]

I’m saying “uh-oh” when Kirilloff sits and Garlick and Solano play.

I’m saying more than that. You are very polite. 🙂

Dan Hayes reports that Kirilloff is ill. Exhale.

Wow...Kep in the 4 spot. That lineup rocks! Best one I've seen all season. I'm taking the Twins in the 13 run pool today!

[stringer bell]

I’m probably just too Twins centric, but it seems to me no team plays a whole series with a one-man bench and the players on the bench are the stars.

A one-man bench, the other catcher. Nice!!

He must have went with Rocco to get sushi at Kwik-Trip.

[Craig Arko]

Vazquez is getting used to backing up all the other positions.

Saints lineup , looks more appealing than twins today, And Maeda getting lit up in the 2nd inning

I have a hard time seeing him as contributing to the Twins again. He Maeda's well retire.

Baldelli, on radio, said it was a stomach issue.

[mrtwinsfan]

[CoastiePilot08]

Any insight on why Garlick is up vice Wallner?

Have not seen anything.

Supposedly a large number of LHP coming up. Bunk.

Wallner hits left handed pitching at a .249 clip. Garlick hits .250 so Garlick is clearly the best option.
