Minnesota Twins 2021 Season
It's Opening Day! There should be legitimate excitement as the Twins are actually good despite the consistent playoff woes. Is this the year?
Also, love to see the lineup for today. Arraez is finally in the leadoff spot with Kepler sliding down to the five hole. I couldn't tell you why it took this long for this to happen. No numbers or logic ever supported Kepler leading off. That was one of my biggest gripes with Rocco -- along with how he handles starting pitchers in the playoffs -- the last couple years. Maybe he's smartened up? We'll see.

Can't wait for Sano to go 1-4 with 3ks and home run today in the 4 spot.
Any line up that has Mitch Garver batting 7th is a deep line up. Even though he had rough year last year

I'm most excited to see if Buxton can provide the bat he showed last year in limited time. If he's that kind of player at the dish and still the same elite defender he's always been AND he plays 90-percent of the season then he's an MVP candidate, in my opinion.

Donaldson already might be banged up. Just rounded first base with a gimp on his way to second on his first AB. Great. He stayed in the game, but that doesn't mean anything.

Great AB from Sano and I totally expected him to strike out. Kepler comes up with two on against the righty Woodruff. This lineup spot makes so much more sense for him.

Man is refreshing to have Morneau in the booth.
Good first inning great plate discipline.

Donaldson is already out. Arraez is replacing him at third. Bahaha you have to laugh to keep from crying at this point.

This town is literally cursed. At least we have Arraez to replace him.
