I see the Twins front office finally wised up and put some umpires on the payroll.

Much bigger bang for the buck than free agency.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Royce Lewis is such a disappointment

[Parfigliano]

Wow

[HokieRif]

Maeda owes a few of these guys a beer

[IaBeanCounter]

What's the Twins record for GS in a season?

[CRF]

LEWIS!

[IndianaTwin]

GIVE THAT MAN A VEST!!!

[wsnydes]

Lead chipped away...

Let's get a few back here

And then some!

Definitely did not see this half inning coming, but I definitely like it, a lot!

I can remember much guffawing when Correa said the young talent in the system was part of the reason he came back.

I found the footage

[GusGus11]

Do I got any new converters on my lock up Royce long term post?!?!?!

[rwilfong86]

Royce coming off the IL may be the turning point this season.

This question even being asked after his badly the Twins started this season with the bases loaded is just pretty insane.  

[IndyTwinsFan]

We need Kenta to get in the groove, given the reprieve he just received. 

[jkcarew]

Got a little Puckett in him in that he ain’t up there to walk or to wait and hope that the perfect pitch comes along when there are runners in scoring position.

He’s hacking!

Lead chipped, area mulched. Now let’s go ahead and put the Guardies on the compost pile.

Fully vested, contract-wise.

The guffawing is because that's NOT the reason. The reason was 200 million for 6 years and there weren't better offers. Now if Correa said that was the reason and turned down better offers then it might be believable

The Twins' system didn't suddenly get better after two teams rescinded their offers due to medical concerns. The Twins were NOT his first choice!

I can remember the uproar when Twins selected Lewis rather than Greene back in 2017.

5.06 ERA
.260 BA
1.50 wHip

This is all sorts of confusing

[HokieRif]

This is not the start we needed from Maeda.  With the stretch of games we have he's going to have to go 5 unless its obscenely out of hand.

[stringer bell]

Yuck. Had an easy out at home and get......nothing.

[wsnydes]

The idea, Kenta, is to NOT give those runs right back...

[GusGus11]

Maeda looks awful and Royce needed to go home there. Easy out.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I have a feeling that Kenta is not long for this game.  Not really what we needed after 13 innings yesterday.

Nice turn there from Julien to Correa
