Twins are actually favorites this afternoon at ESPN with Zebby Matthews pitching quite well in limited action versus Sox starter Anthony Kay, better of late but overall pedestrian #'s

Byron Buxton having a career year so far, only one homer behind Mune...and a noted Sox killer like Josh Naylor.

Trevor Larnach and Austin Martin (their version of Tristan Peters) have been their other solid players, along with the injured Ryan Jeffers at catcher.

Royce Lewis continues to be an enigma, Luke Keaschall at only 0.3 bWAR and Brooks Lee always manages to underperform his high draft pick status.

Strength of Twins their starting rotation and an improved bullpen since the deadline giveaway last year.

Taj Bradley and Joe Ryan are both very tough at the top of the rotation...Prielipp and Ober have been solid, only Woods Richardson and Abel (health) have disappointed.

Buxton is gonna roll our bullpen up and smoke it like a philly blunt

Also pretty darned high likelihood GA Tech catcher/athlete Vahn Lackey goes to the Twins in the upcoming draft.

Start the head to head comparisons with the team's second biggest rival.

Twins seemingly kicking the tires on the likes of Flora and Lombard, Grady Emerson presumed to be going second still.

45 of the final 110 games in the division.

Let’s do this!

This has to be the least powerful outfield in MLB history

little surprised they put him in the starting lineup on day 1

I wonder if they own the hitless wonders?

One foot in the door, the other one in the gutter...

Let's beat up on the Twin and get our Mojo back!

Schedule a day game the day after a west coast game?

Looking for a holiday crowd. 25,000 is max I'd expect without knowing if there's a giveaway today.

Definitely not exactly "fair" but I assume the game being in the daytime is due to the holiday and is non-negotiable.

All the annoying slap hitters. Reminiscent of the Twins piranha days.

It's just first through the door.

When does Kay not let up a run in the 1st inning?

Crowd goes wild for Rikuu's first catch.
