Enjoy! FYI, tonight is the strike for the concession stand workers. So bring in outside food. 

[amjgt]

I knew of the potential strike, but I don't really know what workers are under the same umbrella. Does Truly-on-Deck fall under the same umbrella? How about the people selling concessions in the stands?

It's not exactly clear in the news article. Maybe some of the 3rd party/non Delaware North concessions will be just fine?

Thanks. Also, I just noticed the Cody Christie article on the subject

Worth noting... I'm 3-0 in person this season.

Ohtani scheduled to pitch Wed. I grabbed a couple of seats up to in the crow's nest. Gotta see the ''Sho.

[Chembry]

I am going on Wednesday as well.  Hopefully I am not the curse...We are 0-5 in in games that I have attended this year.

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town Wednesday. My kids wanted to see Shohei, so we'll just have to hope we catch a Shohei homerun during a 10-1 Twins victory tonight. 

[Linus]

Excited for the game. Boy I hope Provus is back on the TV side preferably with Molly.

Come see the irresistible force paradox in action. The MLBs top scoring offense vs the MLBs 28th worst bullpen. Need to take 1 of 3 against the Dodgers. Go Twins!

[Patzky]

Let's continue hitting like we have been!

Wait, the Nationals will be at Target Field too?

[SteveLV]

Why isn't Fedko in the lineup vs. a lefty????

And/or Martin too. Dodgers pitcher does not have reverse splits. I am really pulling for Austin Martin but why is he on the roster if he isn't facing lefty starter?

My exact thought when I just looked at the lineup. I would guess Roden is up soon and Martin is sent to St Paul.

Sometimes you go with the hot bats.  Larnach and Clemens have the hot bats right now.  I questioned why they kept Bell out of the starting lineup yesterday with his hot bat.  I'm going to stay consistent and say ride the bats.

Also, Lauer is 1-0 in 4 starts with the Dodgers with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP and the Dodgers have won all of his starts.  Seems to be performing better with that lineup behind him.

He's kind of played himself to the bench...

Twins beat him when he was with Toronto - 5.1 IP, 7R/7ER, 3/5 K/BB. Lee and Larnach took him deep.

.451 OPS for June, ouch. Not sure how to see his recent stats against lefties only. Looks like he has the Outman role of pinch runner, defensive replacement only. Hopefully Martin gets optioned for Roden so he can get regular playing time at AAA.

They’re unfortunately charging premium rates for this series. When attendance will probably be the same around 10k

[krink]

Very excited to see how these games against the Dodgers go! Mostly hoping the defense will be defensive…

I’ve decided to stop going with financial bargaining - it’s getting expensive! So, if the Twins win today, I will be naming my firstborn Twin in their honor.

You got him all last week. I need a break from that vibe.
