Royce Lewis might be back on the menu fellas! 

I am afraid to agree with you. His swing looks much better right now. The stolen base was encouraging. 

[David HK]

Bader- rally killer X 2.

Wouldn’t have guessed in the year of our lord 2025 that Lewis would steal a base. But here we are

Just brutal. He had some pitches to hit as well. 

[ziggy]

anybody else hold their breath when Buxton gets hurt?

[David HK]

Omg... no, Bux, no.

I fouled one off there in my LA over-40 days.  Didn't play again for nearly a month.  Egg-sized welt overnight, and I could see the imprint of the seams for a long while.  😅

[Vanimal46]

Have we considered a suit of armor for Buxton? Light enough so he can swing the same way of course 

[GeorgeLooney]

Buxton hits himself right above the padding. The looked like it hurt.

Especially this year when everything is clicking on all cylinders. All I hope for and everyone else included is him playing at this caliber for the whole season

IF the Twins lose 2-1, this game will bother me as much as the 1965 World Series loss at least until tomorrow.

I was less than a year old when the 65 series happened, and I still can't agree with that. Even if it's just until tomorrow.

[gil4]

Should have been a K.

Don't have to worry about that now.

These umpires ...

IT IS OFFICIAL. David Festa is not a good pitcher. Slim Reaper more Home Run Giver.  I know he got hosed but the frequency of home runs given up is strong with Festa.

Twins moniker: Threaten but do not score.  How many times do we hear something like that seemingly every game?

[mrtwinsfan]

Twins hitting it hard ,  5 hits  1 run  =  dodgers 2 hits  3 runs .   pleez explain !!

Lots of other pitchers would give up more homers if they had to get strike four against two of the top players in the league.

He gives up a lot of dead center home runs. Has pitches and flashes but gives up a lof of center cut hone runs. 

[Irishman]

Twins has 5 hits and 1 run.   Dodgers has 2 hits and 3 runs.   I would prefer XBHs, not singles.   

[Vanimal46]

I feel like even today Dustin May is someone Falvey wants to acquire.

swing at garbage  and watch  down the middle  --------

That's quite an offensive strategy, isn't it?

[RpR]

Twins watch strikes go by for Ks, and swinging at crap.  Probably should start swinging at first pitch strike.

[ziggy]

Are the dodgers wearing pin stripes?

[MMMordabito]

Hmm ... where was strike one to Clemens there? This crew needs to be in the unemployment line tomorrow.
