Adequate job by the bullpen, Honestly. Can Staumont start the 8th?

Jeffers should have been rung up. And then stares at strike 3. Sigh

He's confused too. Poor umpiring messes with the strike zone for the players.

Poor excuse.

[Azviking101]

That catch was way more impressive than Verdugo’s

[RpR]

Sad that Margot, Farmer and Santana are playing this game would be a proper 2 hit game for the Twins with Yankees leading 9-1.

[TwinsCD]

Anyone remember when Jeffers was alongside Ohtani in the OPS standings?  Life comes at ya fast.

[David HK]

Welp, you gotta know you're going to get the yankee stadium strike zone going in.   Heck, you even get the yankee stadium strike zone when they're on the road.   Just deal with it.  There's still no excuse for being this pathetic.

Lewis may just be the best Harmon Killebrew replacement the Twins could have.

[David HK]

Welp, for God's sake, I thought that was posted over a hour ago.  I'm joining the pathos parade myself...

[mrtwinsfan]

No  comment      im speechless

[Aggies7]

We can’t get Volpe out. I mean we really can’t get anyone out but this guy is clobbering us

[thelanges5]

Old friend Michael Tonkin😀

[RpR]

I do not know who backed-up  Lewis at third but it is a darn good thing or it would be 10-5.

[Aggies7]

Now Tonkin will finish us off, to put the cherry on top of this 💩 sundae

[Patzky]

Rocco won't give Vanover hell but he'll do Rocco stuff to the very end.  PH Larnach lol

Buxton swinging at trash from Tonkin to end the game about sums up the whole thing doesn’t it

Buxton's fielding ability is back but the horrid batting skill he showed last year is back also.

A monkey throwing darts could have called a better strike zone tonight

Royce is awesome.  I've had Jeter vibes from him from the start.  Watching his display so far has been amazing, and it's great hearing about how much it means to him.

Makes me wonder how long it will be until he shows up in pinstripes too, pummeling us like all the rest of 'em.

Don't worry.  We drafted Keoni Cavaco ahead of him.  His Era will start soon, no doubt.

Not concerned about it in any way; don't worry about tomorrow for tomorrow may never come.

Many people make this mistake.  He's actually a ringer by the name of Enrico Pallazzo

Except Lewis can play defense and Jeter is one of the worst defensive players ever 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So... we didn't win?

Better watch out the Buxton fanboys are going to get mad at you. Dude is 1 for 24 and has taken horrible at bats but they will talk about him like he is willie mays.

The Twins don't like to pay good money so pretty sure his stay here won't go past his current contract.  But that being said if they do sign him to a good amount we have to worry about his injury history.
