Is it only, Rogers, Orze, and Banda that started the season in the BP? Wow.

[thelanges5]

Baseball season is relentless and this team is frustrating . Not sure what to do about today’s game.

[Dave Borton]

Son in law bought grandson and I box seats, 3B, as a gift for Father's Day. I get to teach my grandson how to keep score.

Celebrating Father's Day. early; they are headed to Greece. I get to go to Athen's Cafe on Broadway.

[Patzky]

In search of a split. Bowling? No.. the Royals.

[thelanges5]

Buck another day off. Lewis batting 6th and making his first start at 1B. Abel throwing a bullpen today before the game.

I hope we win.

I guess it's Caratini's scheduled day off. He left after getting hit on his foot, hope it's nothing to be concerned about. In news that isn't news, Buxton sits. Maybe a split isn't so bad when you consider they best us in the first series. Good Prielipp please!

SP- Abel and RP- Sands would be a step.up from SP- Bullpen and RP- Lawrence. Rojas hopefully on the way back within a few weeks..

[tony&rodney]

Cameron has been tough for the Twins. The lineup doesn't scream fear. The key will be very solid approaches and situational hitting. Perhaps Prielipp shows a little more consistency with his command as well. The Royals offense can be held down if the pitchers pitch and the fielders field.

I'm afraid the Twins fans are going to have to be patient until such time as Culpepper, Jenkins, and Rodriguez arrive to shore up the outfield defense and provide some offensive spark. The current roster is doing what it can. Nine years of focusing on DH types for the 13 position players won't go away overnight. I like that the club is generally playing hard. It is easier to watch this team than the last two years, for me.

We will likely have to wait for the pregame show to hear anything on Buxton.  I fear the worst where he will need an IL stint and are just waiting to make that move when they go on the road.  Cameron did shut them down early in the season.  I also think since we have not been facing LHP every other day, like we did earlier in the season, we are back to the old Twins facing a LHP.  The ghost of Jamie Moyer could still get 4 innings and twice through the batting order.

Your guess of Buxton i believe is right, and i think Royce was brought back so quickly as a sign that he can help with the offense ?  stay tuned on that-  Hope im wrong but reading Tea Leaves with the Twins ? Does anyone know ?    the fact that Kreidler is even here or Gray or Arcia  when the Future is stuck in St Paul at S.S. why not bring up the 26 year old c.f. Right handed bat ,  Scratching  for answers  when this year needs to be a lets see what we got and quit fooling people ,!!!!!

[MN Brian]

Wow.  That is a really weak line-up.  Not a single batter that would make the pitcher nervous.

Lewis at 1B today?  Should be good to go since he got his feet wet there yesterday!  I don't disagree with moving him to the right side, but it does feel like we are playing with fire with his personality.  A few errors and there goes any chance of being in a good frame of mind.

Gleeman:

Byron Buxton (shoulder) remains out of the Twins' lineup, but Derek Shelton indicated that he's very close to returning.

"From the conversation I had with him this morning, he was in a really good spot."

Monday is an off day. Decent chance Buxton is back in the lineup Tuesday.

Thank you. Tarik Skubal begins a brief rehab Tuesday so we'll likely miss him. Not that it matters..

Nothing left to do but win!

Alright, let’s send the Royals back to KC in a defeat today!

[Patzky]

Walks will haunt. Thought we had a clean 1 2 3 inning

No matter. It's been a bit since we weren't behind after the visiting half of the first.

[mrtwinsfan]

1st inning =    Good Zeb !!!   minus the walk

[Twindy]

So Lewis not only changed his eye black design. He changed the color to blue.

[Patzky]

Martin playing freeze tag?

Yesterday it looked like he had some yellow in between the black stripes…

Trying to match the city connects? He's a day late like his swing.

[Patzky]

Good job to get the ball back into the infield by Clemens.

[Patzky]

Ump is missing the high strike for both sides today.
