Part of the reason I think why it always seems like the Twins are in an uphill battle coming into today our lead off batters are 17 for 85 (.200 avg) with 4 BB and 23 Ks. Kepler has led off 6 times, Buxton 5, Solano and Julien 3 and Larnach 1. Will be interesting to see if this team develops a “real” lead off hitter or if Rocco keeps ignoring it.
