Blue Jays (Francis) vs Twins (Ryan): 6/8/25, 1:10pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well... gotta win to avoid the sweep. Ugh.

Thankfully, Francis is not a good pitcher who allows WAY TOO MANY home runs.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Go Twins!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Zebby to the IL, that’s kind of out of the blue. Coulombe is back, so that’s nice.

Zebby to IL isn't something I expected to see this AM

[Blyleven2011]

I sure hope we don't make francis look like a Cy young candidate  ...

[Vanimal46]

Weekend is so nice we’re doing it twice! Heading back to Target Field for Joe Ryan day. Let’s get a win Twins!

Another victim of the Sacramento mound?

I wonder what Dallas Keuchel is doing these days.

SWR scheduled to pitch today for the Saints. Seems like he would be the one to come up for Zebby.

Would be Tuesday unless they try to spot start him today and bump Joe. I wouldn't advise that.

[thelanges5]

Just reading articles about how twins should be dealing from a position of strength. No such thing as too much pitching.

Batters need to figure some things out and quickly. 

[LambchoP]

A rotation with Festa and SWR doesn't sound like a real playoff team. If Paddack regresses even a little bit, our rotation is in trouble. If they want to try for the post season this year, I think they have to look for a SP on the trade market. Don't see it happening though. Ownership will play up the return of Zebby and Pablo and say that is as good as acquiring new pitchers lol

They could try a bullpen game with Adams as the bulk guy on Tuesday.

Guess we will see if SWR pitches for the Saints

I'm concerned with Ober more than Paddack. Based on recent performance.

Paddack is pitching for TC this year and next year's contract.  Next year's contract is a big motivation.  He'll be fine.

Thank God the FO doesn’t listen to me when I advocated to sell high on The Sheriff

Well, I always listen to you, Sconnie 🤣

[stringer bell]

Some decisions will need to be made when it would have been Zebby's turn. SWR? Adams to the rotation? If someone is called up, a bullpen arm has to go. Of course, someone else could end up on the IL today or in the next few days.

Oh, for Peter's sake!

I'm beginning to think Rocco is purposefully not putting Buxton, Correa, and Lewis in lineup together.

Found out about this yesterday. Not great, Bob. 

[karcherd]

So now Lewis is a part time player, he plays two games and has a game off.  If we are going to have success this season, they are going to need Lewis to get going.  Sitting him over France and Clemens is not going to lead to success for this season or future seasons.

Don't wake him up early or he'll tell you the season is over and next year too.

Tell our Leader  Baldelli --- zero info from him on line-up from day to day  other than players may have a  owie
