Festa will need to be sharper with his pitches tonight than he was in his last outing for the Saints and he is sure capable of a very good start.

I was thinking about this yesterday, there is literally no core young piece the Twins have to build around. And that's a bad spot to be in. One of only few teams in the league that can say that. They would probably be in a better position if they had to take a disaster draft.

Go Twins!

This game is only on Apple TV so everybody freak out like your supply chain depends on China.

Wallner, ERod, Jenkins? 

All the pitching is my vote. But where are the hitters?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Reese Olson is just ok, not great. Load up the lineup with your lefties and let em rip. Predicting a score like 12-6 tonight. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

wow yeah I am trying to construct a lineup of left handed hitters, and they need to get Brooks Lee active for the Twins tonight immediately. The extra switch hitter will be useful in this series given Detroit has the two good lefties in the pen.

We miss Skubal and Flaherty this series but we’ve made most of the pitchers we’ve faced look like Cy Young candidates (see Perez, Lorenzen)

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Oh boy. Gasper and Vazquez batting 8th and 9th.

12 for tonight or the entire series? Or did we get the 6..

How Gasper is still on the Twins is mind. boggling.

How Rocco is still managing is equally mind boggling.

I'm baffled they haven't brought Lee over from St Paul..

Apparently other teams.

[karcherd]

Who thought that using Gasper who has 2 hits in over 30 AB's as DH would be a good idea.  And does this person still have a job?

It's not a serious organization.

You have to have quality lefties to put in your lineup and Gasper doesn't qualify.

Wearing the “create a team” jerseys tonight.

He’s still only playing seven innings right now.

That's more than Gasper is contributing right now......

[thelanges5]

But even Gasper over Miranda. Miranda hasn’t looked good, but they obviously don’t trust him at all right now.

A jovial fella though. You have to be with a mustache like so.

[thelanges5]

Martin has been hitting well but went on the AAA IL for a hammy. Keaschall still only playing 7 innings in the field. Emma has been good but not great. There’s no cavalry. We gotta win with what we got.

This org seems to think players need a second spring training, or something. Lee played most of the grapefruit season and now has three games under his belt in St. Paul.
