I'll be interested to see the starting lineup today. Will Lewis DH again? Will both Correa and Buxton be in the lineup? Where will Castro play? Could Keirsey possibly get a start? 

Sweeping the O's out of town would be pretty good revenge for being owned by them the last two years.

I agree and I hope we play to win today!

Dangit! So close to a running gag for tonight's game. Too bad it's different spelling. How fast can we get Al Newman to the game?!?!

I will say, Rocco has been better avoiding the get away lineups and we haven't seen too many off days for Buxton or Correa.

Not able to post the line up at the moment but Royce is at 3B batting 7th. Buxton in CF and Correa at SS.

Orioles are playing it close to the vest.

I love seeing Buxton in the lineup every day, knock on wood. Lewis is at 3rd, we will see how rusty he is. Go Twins!!!

Keep away? Hit em all to France. Wait..

Kremer with an 8.14 ERA on the road this season. Last three road starts he's 0-3 with and has given up runs in the 1st or 2nd inning in each one of those games. Doesn't strike out many. He's going to throw the ball down the middle of the plate and let his opponents put the ball in play. 

As the Twins offense heats up they frankly couldn't have picked a better pitcher to face.

Did I jinx anything yet? 

[JADBP]

What happened to the concept of:

a) batting your HR hitter 3rd or 4th so he has some runners on when he hits?

b) giving Buxton some rest during the season rather than trying to squeeze an extra at-bat into every game?

Oh yeah, sorry, I know the answer!  He’s been Roccoized!  Dang!

Yeah, you jinxed it!

Bold Prediction: Lewis is going to run into one today - line drive over the left field wall.

I can watch the Twins only once I'm done watching the Cardinals wrap up their business.

Derek Shelton now available, coincidence?

[BrokenCompass]

Real shoddy defense there at first. Poor effort.

Wow, these Orioles hitters are really struggling. Slider down the middle, and Mountcastle pops it up to first. Let's sweep these clowns.

[BrokenCompass]

attaboy Byron, way to lay off that one. Let's swipe a bag here. 

[BrokenCompass]

Anyone else think Brooks Lee looks pretty bad so far this year? Some really awkward swings. 

[Parfigliano]

Morneau didn't shut up Lee whole AB talk talk talk

[MMMordabito]

That's maybe why Buck is batting first?

[Patzky]

France is so reliable in these spots

[USAFChief]

I yelled "Hey France, little 2 out Ribeye here"

 

So I get credit for the lead.

[MMMordabito]

With these strike percentages so far, this could be a marathon game.

[mrtwinsfan]

As much as Morneau  likes to analize every at bat  ?? and pitches ya think he might want to do the same for his style in the booth,  i highly wish he would ,

Bailey you're tampering w fire here
