Sox' Buehler scratched but may resurface later; at this point does it really matter? 

 

Hoping for reinforcements not named Kody or Kody.

Really could use a win at this point, is the team capable?? I hope so. Would be nice to cheer us up a little after the playoff exit by the Wild last night. Well, go Twins!

Apparently the viral question of the day is, could 100 men defeat one gorilla?

I think they came up with this after someone asked the LUDICROUS question: Could 26 Minnesota Twins players produce nine innings of decent baseball?

(I'm ashamed to admit my first attempt at spelling "ludicrous" was the rapper's name and not the term)

[shortround81]

Every Friday Cory Provus doesn't an interview with the local midday sports show on KFAN. The host, Jack Michaels, brought up the fact the Kentucky Derby is this weekend. Cory said he didn't know that and was glad Jack brought this up because now he has something to talk to Rocco about other than baseball. 

(Also, apparently Rocco is a big horse racing fan.)

I was trying to dupe myself into believing the mantra of 'just stack series wins'...well, pissing away 3 games against the Guardians has me a bit down in the dumps with this team. I don't expect anything good to happen to the Twins this weekend.

1. Larnach - LF

2. Buck - CF

3. Lee - 3B

4. Correa - SS

5. France - 1B

6. Julien - 2B

7. Jeffers - C

8. The Ghost - DH

9. Bader - RF

The Twins go through more lead-off hitters during the season than people do underwear.

Joke's on you. I 1,288,953 pairs of underwear!

The Twins as a team have hit Bello pretty well, but in today's lineup, the hitters are 3-15 (.200 BA). Sounds like another one-run game to me. Come on, we are overdue for a breakout.

[thelanges5]

Maybe I’ll send the wheel I created to Rocco.

I don't have a good answer for it. Well Wallner was alright.. but Julien and Buck haven't performed. I'm thinking Lee for some reason. Or don't laugh.. Bride.

How can you take an organization seriously when they run Gasper out there as the DH, he doesn't even belong in the major leagues.

Clemens and Vazquez deserve a shot!

At this point, call up McCusker, we need offense, at least find out if he can provide it.  You know Clemens and Gasper won't.

Bride at 2nd and Julien at DH would be an upgrade. 
 

With the current roster - 1 of Bride, Clemens, Gasper, Keirsey have to play every day. Any one of them may be okay as the 13th guy. We have four 13th guys on the roster.

Was hoping we’d miss Crochet but it looks like we can look forward to Paddack vs Crochet on Sunday.

Hey NJ - Here's hoping for a recovery at Boston.  Wish we still had Polanco.  My new favorite player is Ty France, professional hitter.

They've been able to get some hits off him in years past unless I'm mistaken. But this version of the Twins.. sigh..

A few guys I’d like to see get a cup of ☕️ from AAA - McCusker, Prato, Morales. They couldn’t be any worse than Gasper or Clemens.

Somehow we almost pulled it off. If it weren't for those meddling kids.. 😭

[Randy Griffith]

Correa should not be batting fourth.  If I were managing this team, I would move him down to sixth or seventh.  Make him earn his way back to the meat of the order.

Could have sworn they said this pitcher’s name was Brian Fellows

Was never in the strike zone. Just dreadful.

Who’s the other guy in the booth? Can’t identify his voice
