Twins (Lopez) vs Rays (Rasmussen): 5/28/25, 12:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Rubber game! Pablo day!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Rasmussen likely to give the Twins fits. He doesn't pitch super deep into games so maybe they can get to the Rays' bullpen by the 5th or 6th. Need 'ace' Pablo today. Would be a nice series win if they can get it.

Was hoping for a 'Buck' shot but nope.

Hopefully Friday in Sea for 🦌

Was hoping for Darth Bader but his finger still bothering him. Castro getting a much needed day off.

Still experiencing headaches and while hitting he's having difficulty seeing the ball.

Best to try again later. Doubt the heat and bright sun would be helpful for him. Poor dude.

Lee at clean-up 😐

[Road trip]

I strangely thought, perhaps, that McCusker might get a start on get-away day.  Nope. 

I didn't expect McCusker would play much given Baldelli's past practices, and goodness knows he hasn't shown much in very limited opportunities, but getting only 5 AB over the last dozen days is going to create a layer of rust rarely seen outside an abandoned industrial park.

Anybody want to chip in $5/person? Maybe we could get a deal done by the time the team gets back from playing the A's

Read this in a Gleeman article this morning. Lee’s batting .288 with runners on base overall, .345 with runners in scoring position and .360 in high-leverage situations. He also has a positive WPA.
 

No🦌, no Wallner, no Bader, Lewis doing that slump thing. Not many options for Rocco.

I kinda prefer the slow move up the lineup that Clemens is taking.  If Clemens keeps raking and moving up and Lee keeps struggling, I hope Rocco does with Lee what he's doing with Clemens.  Lee's been terrible in May and that seems to coincide when he's moved up to the top part of the lineup.

Yes, Rocco does have limited options.  Buxton, Bader and Wallner's full returns can't come soon enough and should mostly solve this.  Well, Bader will probably still be at the bottom, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing for turning the lineup over.

Interesting. Didn't think the numbers were that strong for Lee especially because he's been scuffling a bit of late. Hopefully he gets the chance to drive in some runs today and comes through!

Who would have thought that Clemens would have such a positive impact! Looks like a keeper.

Won't be getting no-hit

All out position players are in position according to the People Finder.
