Twins 4, White Sox 2: Byron Buxton is Superman. He's Superman.

Man.... Correa..... what a mess... 

He's in that dreaded spot for a hitter - recognizing pitches, swinging at the right ones and unable to put the barrel on the ball at all. Everything is weak contact.

Buxton and Keaschal are the only reasons to watch this team right now. If Luke keeps playing like he has been, he will force management to keep him in the majors, even when Lewis and Castro are healthy. On the flip side, Lee looks lost at the plate. He's good defensively but hasn't shown he can hit MLB pitching yet. What's with Bader? Started out so good now he's striking out more than Miguel Sano...!

Didn't Lee have a hit and 2 walks last night?

No Duran tonight with the trouble he created on his own. Took 32 pitches to get a fly ball out that only a few CF would get to.

Paddack has done his job the past two outings...........I think Festa needs to go down

IMO - Alcala needs to go down. I know everyone thinks it’s bad to move a starter out of a normal rotation spot ……… Alcala is all over the place with a 10+ ERA …..guys are hitting Festa at a .167 clip first time they see him…….seems like a good 2 inning plus reliever. I’d prefer to see Paddack in the Pen but that’s doubtful after his last 2 starts.

He did - a handle flare on to the right field grass………….he’s now 3-21…… not exactly must see!!

Couple decent plays at 3B Wednesday night through 4 innings.

As of today, Keaschall - Julien - Castro - Lewis - Correa - France seems to be the infield of the future, in ‘25.

Wallner - Larnach - Bader - Buxton - maybe Castro?

Lee or Kiersey? ………gotta use Castro in OF and keep Lee up to back up Lewis.

Can we put the stipulation that Rodriguez start hitting before he gets the call as well? He can't even tread water in AAA. .238/.360/.286 OPS .646 wRC+ 84, 16.0% BB, 34.7% K doesn't exactly project well at the MLB level. 0 HR, 3 doubles in 75 PA in a hitter friendly league.

Sure, but it's not gonna make a difference with win losses.
