Royals (Lynch IV) vs Twins (Paddack): 5/30/24, 12:10pm

[Parfigliano]

Series win or series split.  I want the win.

[Muppet]

Margot leading off again. Last time he did that a couple days ago he went 2-3 with a run and RBI in a 4-2 win. Farmer, Santana, and Vazquez also combined to go 4-9. I like seeing the dregs of this lineup win games. It makes it feel like (almost) summer is heating the team up. 

[Craig Arko]

Singer replaced by lefty Lynch IntraVenous as KC starter.

[adjacent]

Apparently their starter is not Singer, is Lynch (they just changed it). That is why the line-up is the standard against lefties

[CRF]

Yes, Singer scratched due to illness.

A little deception from the Royals, going with the lefty Lynch not Singer re: MLB.

If it is...we need to find a way to infect Witt and Salvy, because they're killing us.

'Salvy' sounds medically immune..

Lynch is no Singer

He's a guitarist. 

80's Dokken reference for those who watched that sail right over their head.

7 Straight games that Kepler has been on the bench against a left hander. To state the obvious... Kepler is a platoon player. 

[hitterscount]

Just feel like this is a big win to pick up 2 games on the Royals versus the split, especially after winning the first two. Play your best players, regardless of the LHP matchup... and lets get Lewis up..

You’re right of course, but it is ridiculous.

There's a good start to the game.

A beautiful day at Target Field!!

[MMMordabito]

Way to go, Paddack.  Just bury the team in the first.

Good seats still available.  Lots and lots.

[Doctor Gast]

Looks like the Paddack haven't settled in yet. He better bear down.

[Doctor Gast]

Was that a hit & run?

[Doctor Gast]

no clutch hitting

BRAVO-BRAVO

[Doctor Gast]

Paddack can't get ahead of these guys

[Doctor Gast]

Paddack may need some help early

[Doctor Gast]

That's better

Lots of pitches piling up.. and we used our 'long guys' last night.

[Doctor Gast]

Let's start a rally, we need one

Yeah, 44 pitches through two innings with Baldelli on the bench isn't a good recipe for any kind of length.

[Craig Arko]

Time to whip out the ‘ol sausage.
