Lee has been hitting, to be sure, but man he is SLOW.

Per the Twins on BlueSky, Festa is the starting pitcher.

Rocco said pregame that he wants to be more agressive on the base paths. Just had the Twins best 2 base stealers on base and they stood there like a statue.

Exactly.  I would have loved to see Buxton go.  It's likely a win-win.  If they don't throw through, it's another runner in scoring position.  If they do throw through, Bader can scamper for home.

Maybe the players missed the sign to steal ...

I doubt it though  ...

Rocco likes to run his mouth which generates a lot of words that are ultimately meaningless.

Yeah, maybe you could steal a run there. However, it's gone on forever that LH hitter like having the first baseman hold the runner to open up the hole. 

If Buck is a near-lock to reach second there, I still want him to go.

But they stood there with a real aggressive look.

Rocco would have to go to the local library to read up on what these signs to designate stealing actually are.  It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even have a sign for stealing a base.  The player just goes when he's comfortable.

Festa not getting the high strike called in his favor tonight ...

Good pitch count though , how many innings will Rocco give him if he continues his dominance  ...

Why are we playing Clemens again? Is the occasional home run really worth it?

Kody Clemens, coming into today, is hitting .220 for the Twins, but with an .820 OPS. That's better than anyone but Buxton. He's got 1.0 WAR in 46 games, more than France, Jeffers,  Castro and as much as Larnach in fewer games. Yeah, it might be a mirage, but he has earned playing time as much as anybody.
