Twins (Matthews) vs Yankees (Warren): 8/11/25, 6:05pm

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, this team is actually (somehow) more interesting than they were ten days ago. Baseball is weird.

[tony&rodney]

Sure hope reality doesn't come calling.

Would be nice if Byron did come calling.

I see that McCusker got optioned back to St Paul without a corresponding move announced.  

Does that mean Wallner back from paternity or Buxton back from injury? Or door #3?

[mnfireman]

Buxton activated, McCusker to St. Paul

Thanks. He won't be hitting right away but Zebby and friends will be grateful.

I'm glad they found a spot for Fitzgerald to build on his success yesterday. Yankee Stadium ain't Target Field! But the locals are very restless this week, thought the Fire Boone faction was coming to a head.

I'd be content if reality can just wait until Thursday.  Beat the D*** Yankees.

Cmon boys...after watching all of those horrible playoff games from the stands... please at least take 2 of 3 from those Damn Yankees...(at times, I think that this musical attached to the Twins former team the Senators may have cursed them)

I see  Luke is a D.H. tonight, ,, pleez  either 3 or 5  is where he should be , im old school  never bat Young players in the 4 -hole - its a mind game and i only want him playing the game on the field, not in there own heads - Like Royce - its killing Lewis right now , he is not even close to being Mentally ready to carry a team, Maybe having Byron back will help him??  hope so,  on this present team - my picks are Jeffers- Wallner , there built for it --  Go Twins

[RpR]

The so called curse started with Gardenhire, and is still around.

Until they sweep a series, especially in New York, I doubt it is going away.

Hmm, Fitzgerald at 2nd, and Lee at Short Stop, Julien at  1stl Rocco trying to extend Yankees domination.

Fitzgerald is not a problem but the other two?

[NYCTK]

Decided to buy a ticket last minute. All said, it's pretty remarkable you can usually go to a MLB game for about the same as, or even cheaper than, a movie.

Lee is the SS until the end of the season.  This is a team that now needs to find out what they have in certain players.  One of them is Julien, the only position that should be open to him is 1B.  I am down on Julien but he at least has done something in the past.  They played Gasper 3 games in a row this weekend, what has he done to warrant that playing time.

Fitzgerald is not part of the future, play him a few games but you really need to find out what you have in the young guys.

[mrtwinsfan]

LUKE--Larnach--Lewis -Lee,   batting 4-7  Loving  It,

[mrtwinsfan]

Rocco,  Thanks we would all rather see a Fitzgerald -  instead of Mario -Mickey

[mrtwinsfan]

will he take a pitch after being out 2 weeks ?

[USAFChief]

The ************* Yankees don't even have the decency to schedule a day game on getaway day Wednesday. 

 

[USAFChief]

Great start

Julien at first..is a bad idea...just seems as if he has to follow his pattern of rest for all and this right/left batting idea

[mrtwinsfan]

Morny , quit with all the talk about past problems winning because there in N.Y,,  That was alot of your own choking back then ,  these young new guys could care less about it ,  its BASEBALL ,

Huh 

[alskntwnsfn]

They had Bellinger perfectly set up for a high/tight slider there. I assume that was supposed to an elevated fastball. Still, bad call and bad execution.

Don't even have the decency to buy you a barley pop before strategically placing you over a barrel.

[mrtwinsfan]

Twins gotta pick on Stanton in right field ,   hopefully anyway

[Aggies7]

Ah yes here we go. That old familiar feeling
