He saved their hide Thursday

And Brad's frequent comparisons to the wrong Twins players has abated considerably since the precipitous fall began.

I love Lewis' game and attitude. He has everything he needs to be a star player. The only problem I have with locking him up like that is that he is proving to be as injury prone as Buxton, so far. He just got back from a 6 week stint on the IL and that's on the heels of back to back ACL surgeries.

Imagine if the #MNTwins won both of the games they should have against the #Brewers.

This team can make noise.

Is it Popkins?

more likely it's less Buxton and Gallo, and more Julien/Wallner and other kids in the lineup.

How many games has Rocco's decisions followed by expected/realized poor pitching results cost the Twins in his managerial career. Unreal.

Ober scheduled for tomorrow, so the Twisn are at least partly trying to hide Keuchel in this series.

Reports are he's worked shorter bullpen sessions to begin acclimating to relief. Wheee
Pitch to impact with a pretty high walk rate.
Moran Senior.

Umpire Carlos Torres missed 4 calls in the first 3 innings and they all went against the #Twins.

Then, he ejected Joey Gallo for arguing and followed that with a very soft Rocco Baldelli ejection.

Torres missed another 8 calls and 7 went against the Twins.

- I thought Jax was getting hosed pretty good v TX #1 but it turned out all right.
- seriously though, how can you get to this level and not do better than some of these people we see out here behind the plate?

Gallo’s strike 2 in that at bat was the worst I’ve seen. It was at least a foot high. I mean, Joey will strike out anyway so why embarrass yourself?

https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/twins-byron-buxton-still-lacks-clear-return-timeline/
Minnesota Twins designated hitter Byron Buxton was seen shagging fly balls in center field during Friday's batting practice at Target Field. The good news is that the sight of the 29-year-old in the outfield reinforces last week's report that the Twins may finally allow Buxton to participate defensively upon his return. The tricky part of this equation, however, is that Buxton still needs a rehab assignment before coming back, but that is still not "imminent".

Will this be another season where he ends up just getting shut down? Last week he sounded optimistic and now a week later it is back to a return "not imminent"

IF everything has to be just right......

He'll never be in the outfield

Completely different mindset

He had the plantar fasciitis that Correa is playing through he'd have shut down immediately.

Edit: and walked the next guy for good measure.
