Minnesota Twins Game 87: Lineups and First Impressions
Credit: Bruce Kluckhohn-USA TODAY Sports
If the Minnesota Twins win today they end the four game series with the New York Yankees in a tie. If the Twins lose today, we never mention this weekend again. We were all at the lake and we didn’t even know that baseball was a thing. Other than the Oakland A’s getting even better with that trade with the Chicago Cubs. We can’t ignore that. Here are the lineups for our lovely little Twinkies and the not so lovely Bombers.
Minnesota Twins (39-47) Lineup
Brian Dozier 2B
Eduardo Nunez SS
Chris Parmelee 1B
Josh Willingham LF
Oswaldo Arcia RF
Kurt Suzuki C
Trevor Plouffe 3B
Chris Colabello DH
Sam Fuld CF
New York Yankees (43-43) Lineup
Derek Jeter SS
First Impressions
- Kendrys Morales is not in the lineup today. *insert sad face emoticon*
- Nunez and Parmelee hitting 2-3 is what my dreams are made of. Oh, those are nightmares never mind.
- It looks weird with Colabello hitting eighth. It might be the right spot, but it still looks weird.
- The absence of Joe Mauer and Danny Santana really makes the Twins lineup look pretty depressing.
Game Time
First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 Central from beautiful Target Field in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The game can be seen on Fox Sports North and heard on the Twins Radio Network.
