[IndianaTwin]

I'm on staycation. Join me on the Game Thread. Besides, your boss knows you're a Twins fan anyway. If you've got a good boss, she or he is a Twins fan as well.

Ooooh, no get-away-day lineup! Are they're getting serious about the season?!?!

[GusGus11]

IMO yesterday was the killshot

But the body is still wiggling. Time to put it out of its misery

[Craig Arko]

Playing for the tie-breaker makes this effectively worth two games. Finish it off. Then give Correa’s foot a rest.

[CRF]

Like the lineup, except for Stevenson. I hope that MAT heals quickly. Would love to see another strong game from Ryan. Might as well sweep these guys!

Am I alone in finding this Cleveland team extremely annoying?

Kwan is a pest.  Has some piranha in him.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Find it interesting that in an absolute must-win, Cleveland sits the Naylor brothers.

Yup. Absolutely. Would love for him to be out of the division.

I like it. I think it's a good option to have with the impending roster crunch of infield prospects.

Yeah, it's Francona. He's like the MacGyver of Baseball. Give him a couple of pitchers, a couple of hitters, some baling wire and glue and he'll put together a competitive team.

Strangely, I'm OK with it.

Certainly I'm not the only one that didn't notice that the first 3 times I scanned the lineup.  Big News, If True.

I think he played one inning there a week or two ago.

Yeah, although, has he played 1B ever in the majors? Hope he’s been given some practice there.

Edit: answer just posted as I posted

Maybe they'll be used in relief if the Twins get to Williams early.
