Make It Official! Twins 8, Royals 3: Willi Castro, Royce Lewis Homer in Six-Run Inning as Twins Take Game 1 from Royals

Maybe Twins fans can start a go fund me page to raise money for off season acquisitions lol. Going to need a starter, two lefties for the bullpen and an outfielder to replace Kepler. A power hitting first baseman wouldn't hurt either...

That was my first thought! ……just doesn’t seem to be any other practical depth option. Even if they do this, I doubt they’d start him. Would like to give him a shot! Probably another 40-man complexity as well though?

I think the 40 man is a poor excuse, but you are right they will use it.  They still have easy drops to get the best team on the field.

There needs to be some concern about Lopez,still having blow up innings.It took 33 pitches to get out of the 2nd.Going into the 3rd he was at 47 pitches.The bats aren't going to give him 6 on the board every time he slips.Him and Ober are now the 2 veterans left as starters.Ober is doing his part,it is time for Lopez to step up.

Singer is a bottom third of the zone pitcher,so the hitters figured him out the second time at bat.

Logo is going to be lot harder to get and Matthews is going to need all the help they can give him.

Even the games he does well overall, he seems to start slowly. Not gonna be a good thing come October. Can’t wait around til the 4th inning for him to find his groove

He handled that pretty well last year in the playoffs even in his second start against a proven playoff lineup.

Lopez had to throw an extra 19 pitches because of the Catcher's interference.  I don't put it completely on him, he could have been out of the inning a lot earlier.  Stop having the catcher set up closer to the batter, because that is what is going to happen, a catcher's interference call.  You aren't going to steal strikes, it is where it crosses the plate not where the catcher catches it.
