Twins (Paddack) vs Red Sox (Crochet): 5/4/25, 12:35pm

[Brandon Glick]

There's nothing like having Chris Paddack face off against one of the best starters in the American League to brighten your Sunday.

Lefty on lefty Larnach!

Paddack won't be batting against Crochet. Really we had more issues with Fedde when playing the Sox.

Batting 8th is the prize he gets!

Why is Correa batting cleanup?  We're 35 games into the season.  He's gotta be hurt, so give him a week off or something.

I get he's a quarter of the payroll but he's not helping.

[stringer bell]

Over/under for hits? I’d guess 6.5. 
 

For runs, probably 2.5. I would bet the under on both.

Crafty lefthander against the Twins? Yeekzers. But you know what they say, that's why they play the game. 

Side note: looking at Buxton's numbers in the graphic above....wow. Not too shabby.

I think he needs time off too but Castro is hurt and Gasper at SS says no.

Just the right amount of shabby

not a single .800 OPS in the lineup, and the closest is a catcher

[Patzky]

Well now!

[Patzky]

That's a start!

As if on queue BUX WITH THE DINGER! 

[Chris Hove]

Hope we can get at Crochet early. We have hit him pretty well as of late.

This was by far the toughest and worst pitching match up of the road trip. Makes the Cleveland series all the more frustrating. Left a lot of meat on the bone.

[Patzky]

Defense making the plays they needed to. Glad Campbell has not been around this far. Let's do some damage here guys.

Only two chicken Dinnah so far.

Buxton up to .268 with 7 homers.  That’s passable.  If only we had a little more consistency and clutch hitting.

[hitterscount]

What an outside the box idea…. bringing up your young talent that are producing in the minors. Some organizations just seem to be more interested in trying to reward production at the minor league level rather than letting them sit for years. 

[Patzky]

Trevor gets on.

Was thinking the same. Buck hasn't been awful. Just too often though, he'll strike out in a big spot. Overall though, he's putting together a nice season.

[mrtwinsfan]

Cmon batters ,  we need to see more of the Contact play drama  from 3b

[Patzky]

And Trevor gets off. 

[Patzky]

Is this the first time in recent memory having Vazquez catching back to back and Jeffers DHing both games?
