This team has a different atitude when Lewis is in the lineup.

Lewis definitely gives this team a different vibe and makes this team go, but make no mistake...CC is the leader of the team and the guy everyone looks up to. He's the glue.

Happy Father’s Day All!

Great start today but kinda discouraged with the 3 pitch K for Buxton…..

[stringer bell]

Miranda was the rally killer. Puny single.

Sears is gonna wilt in the heat. He's up around 40 pitches already. Roebuck is warming up in the A's pen!

Sears K-Mapart

Would love to know what Correa said to Royce in that exchange after C4's HR.  Of course, neither will likely tell.

The results speak from themselves :) Rocco mentioned the other day breaking the holy Trinity up in the lineup but that would preclude moments like this.

Good Bailey, so far!

Dang it Buck. Wasted opportunity. 

[stringer bell]

Correa is now at .306. which would be seventh in MLB. 

[Patzky]

👍 recovery Mr Ober.

or is road grater better ?

Great throw by Willi. That saved a run.

[TwinsCD]

C4 KABOOM X 2

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Correa is a special, special player. 

[AceWrigley]

I guess a healthy C4 is pretty good.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

He was pressing in 2022 and the team as a whole fell off the rails in August.

Last year, he played on one leg.

What we're seeing now, this is C4.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Hoping Buck can join the party here.

Credit Sears with battling through four and saving their BP a bit. I wouldn't mind the Twins picking that guy up if the cost isn't too much.

[ewen21]

Buxton will not evolve past what he is, and what he is can be found at baseball-reference.  He is a .238 hitter who played more than 92 games once and his lifetime OBP is .298.  
 

The expectations should not exceed what’s he’s done historically.   If one looks at his history one must surmise he is on the lower end of average as an offensive player.  I don’t see greatness

This.

Lewis is the energizer bunny. But it's Correa's team. One of the best leaders in baseball.

[pierre75275]

Buxton going out of his way to swing at absolutely everything, and doing a marvelous job of getting himself out in the process 

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice throw Willi, another reason i would rather see Willi in l.f. and not 2b, , Martin at 2  with Willi and Larnach as the main 2 in left, Martin idk why Rocco wont put him at 2nd other than the Pictures farmer has on rocco, and if Julien makes it back , its even a better platoon,   Sorry Kyle your odd man out

For not being a super star, according to many on this site, he’s giving a good impression lately
