I think MLB.com is crashing from all the eager fans checking the Twins-Royals lineup. 🤔 I like not leading off Martin by default, with his recent struggles. And I hope Clemens can provide some protection if Royce or Gray falter.
The next phase of the Twins begins.. we all wanted Outman Out. Wonder if the Jays need defense..
They had to have gotten an optimistic outlook on Buck or they would not do this now,. Unless another move is coming. If Kriedler - Keaschall gets sent to the outfield to cover Buck then an IF spot becomes available. All I can figure.
Why do today what we can put off til Tuesday? A: Because we're shorthanded for at least two divisional games if we wait him out. He was already hurt! Give him 10-12 days to heal up some, and call up Gonzalez again or Mendez for a large coffee with Royal Tiger.
Worst case scenario.. who's the callup for Buck if he goes on IL? They'll wait a few days like they always do and we'll play shorthanded. Wallner is the automatic candidate, Gonzalez also, but I'd love to see Mendez.
