I think Festa is legit. Also, healthy Buxton is fun.

Beautiful (if chilly) day for baseball! My vantage point.

The first 5,000 fans at Target Field will be entered in a drawing to pinch hit and play SS for the Twins!

Sounds like Mets might be throwing Justin Hagenman for his MLB debut. He's never really been a prospect, was a 23rd round draft pick, but one of those players that worked hard to get to AAA and toughed it out enough to finally get a call to the show after parts of 4 seasons. 

Good for him, and his opponent so beat up today they nearly look like a AAA lineup. Plus the attendance will resemble a AAA park.

Twins need to get all over the pitchers today and Festa needs to throw quality pitches.

The Tigers have 5 pitchers, their starting catcher, and 4 outfielders on the IL. Their team has taken a much greater hit on injuries than the Twins. No excuses. Players have to use their opportunities now.

Sunny weather - beautiful February day. Win Twins.

I wasn't sure if this was worthy of opening up a new thread, but I thought I'd ask it anyway.

This is pretty inconsequential, but ultimately the FO/social media team have a certain level of obligation to still market this team. I check the Twins' Instagram page pretty often. Of course they're going to post videos of someone hitting a homerun, making a great defensive play, etc., but when a team is struggling so mightily, how often should the "fun" stuff be posted? I.E. "Who's the best dresser on the team?" I know they posted some off the field stuff in spring training when there was still some hope, but now would it seem tone deaf? Thoughts?

One bench player? Yikes

Even for one game, I really think they should get another player up here and put someone on the IL if needed, either Correa based on recent performance with a chronic issue, or Wallner based on his comments (he said he “felt something pop”? or something like that) 

Color me confused. Correa's said the wrist issue has been on-going since last year? If true, I don't see how he avoids an IL stint. Might as well get ahead of it and bring someone up.

The fact he left an at-bat in a 0-2 count and they're trying to pass it off as no big deal is beyond bizarre to me.

Mets' line up is really top heavy. Not sure why they played hardball with Alonso this winter. They absolutely need him.

They didn't really. It's just that there was no other market for him and he (and Boras) refused to admit this so they just kept waiting and hoping a market developed.

Fair point. No one was beating down his door.

Have to start winning series. String together a couple of those and you can be sniffing .500 by the end of the month. Don't love the Twins when the opponent throws a 'bullpen' game but the offense has to cobble some runs together and Festa has to be sharp.

Start ,  is the key word ...

Which is why Vlad signing an extension is great news for him. The Mets will likely try to sign a similar contract but, again, as the premier 1B on the market, he should expect a bit more attention. Especially if he continues this unbelievable run he's on right now for any extended duration.

Yup. He's playing out of his mind right now.
