Twins (Paredes) vs Yankees (Cole): 7/3/26, 6:05pm

[Church of Kreidler]

I will say re: Kreidler in CF:

If we can't have Buxton, I do like having him out there. I trust his ability to get to the ball more than some of our other OF options.

Now, ideally, Buck would be healthy, and he wouldn't need to be out there at all.

He is catching the balls that is all that matters.

Until he doesn't.

Top of the order has been awful tonight. Redemption time?

Conspiracy theory.  They don't want Buxton on the IL until after the ASG voting as people may stop voting for him if he lands on the IL.  Since he hasn't played since Sunday, they could make the IL stint retroactive from June 29th and he would be available to come off the IL for the last series before the All Star Break.

They better not be managing the roster for that reason.

Larnach   help out here

Yeah we have no other outfielders in the system that could play out there.  And it forces us to play Gray at SS, that sounds that a grand plan.

Larnach one of the vestiges of the Yankee Choke Posse

He did his job just now, setting us up for a Brooks Lee jack.

[mrtwinsfan]

Lee  take a pitch

[Patzky]

In a position to win.

But who would you put there right now without putting Buck on the IL? Martin isn't fast enough to play CF, and I - personally - have not seen enough of Fedko to be able to fully back him...

I mean to say, a Cody Klemens jack.

Kids, getting arrested seems like a weird way to celebrate your engagement.

If one doesn’t appreciate the incredible feat that was, the talent it took, and how artfully it was accomplished …..  I see how the focus on mundane societal arrest can be arrived at. They didn’t harm anyone and pulled it off flawlessly. Pretty damn impressive performance art.

Then bring up Roden in place of Fedko or Gray.  There are other options rather than keep playing players out of position.

Bad pitch and runners stand there with the fingers up their butt.

I would hope not either.  They also have a pattern of not putting Buxton on the IL until they feel they absolutely need to, which is typically 2-3 games too late.  I was listening to the podcast from the Skor North Twins Show just now.  Dex was part of the pregame interview of Shelton when asked about Buxton's availability.  The answer was a begrudging answer of 'We don't have an update.'  Unless Buxton is getting a second opinion in NY, that's one of the few answers that makes sense.  The idea seems crazy which is why it is in conspiracy theory territory.

Bases loaded Mr Grand Slam.  Your move.

[h2oface]

Such consternation over Fedko playing time. 

[Church of Kreidler]

Oh, Royce, you have the chance to do something incredible here

[HarmonK03]

Fedko was in the dugout, I was wondering if they brought him to New York.

[mnfireman]

Fedko IS with the team...
