MLB: ***2024 Minnesota Twins***

[Marcelason78]

Pagan and Duran are giving up too many free passes, but the Twins pitching still getting the job done.
Love seeing these guys (Buxton and Winder) matching franchise records.

Pagan is starting to remind me of Hansel Robles with less stuff.

Hope he’s just a bandaid to patch the time before more of these youngsters are ready.

Twins moms happy.
Another pitching injury but they win anyway. Bring on the trashcan bangers.

Not a great week but this was pretty awesome

Royce Lewis with the grand slam. This kid has all the tools to be a great one for the Twins.

I REALLY like his swing.

This metering the number of games seems ill-advised. It's like they believe the division is again so weak at this point in the season (and Twins look as good as the Sox and Guardians look bad right now) that they can win it with Buxton playing 60-70% of the games. JFC, they could at least DH him, that new homer power. It get he's been injury prone but some of that is bad luck and some of that is on him running into walls. It's not like he is a delicate and fragile flower.

Twins have a plan for using Byron Buxton, even if it's a frustrating one for fans

The team is aiming and hoping for 100 games from the center fielder this season.

I'm sure they are looking at all of the data. And frankly, he is a delicate and fragile flower.

I'm love to see a graph of when his fluke injuries happen. Do they happen the day after a day off, or after several playing in a row. If they happen after playing several days in a row, then it makes sense to give him more time off.

Could go for a road sweep in Oakland this weekend...

Yeah

Going into a very soft portion of the schedule. Need to win every series through the rest of May/early June before a tough 9 game stretch against the Blue Jays, Yanks, and Rays

 

[HawaiiClone]

Go Twins!

What the hell, Oakland...

What the hell, Oakland...

probably more pests than fans in the stands. They need to move out of Oakland

 

[Marcelason78]

Didn't realize the Twins were so bad in Oakland. Only won seven of the last 30 and a chance to win their first series there in 11 years tonight.
Hope this unbelievable pitching holds up. Love seeing Royce and Ryan showing the young guys how it's done.

They need to remove the Covid restrictions so people show up.

Glad to have Correa back, but sending your hottest hitter back to Triple A is really stupid. Lewis can at least hit DH, or play part time at short, third, or LF. Feel bad for Royce.
Twins obviously think it's more important he gets reps everyday at AAA short.

I agree, but I am somewhat happy because I am going to an I-cubs vs Saints game next week and will at least get to see Royce play
