Hey everybody... I'm down on the farm for a couple of days, checking out the stacked roster at Cedar Rapids, and it seemed a good time to take some questions. Hit me with what you've got and I'll do my best to answer.

“It can be really hard when you feel like your career is going in a different direction,” Lewis said. “It’s been tougher because obviously we know there’s always someone on your tail. There’s always someone ready to take your next job. Every day I’m here fighting and working as hard as I can to show that I’m giving it my all to keep my job because I love what I do. I’ve been smiling. I feel fine leaving the game. But I think what scares me most is like, ‘Oh, they might try to get me out of here.’ When I leave the field, that thought does creep into my head.”

“It feels like people around here sometimes are waiting for me to struggle so that they can write me off officially or get me out of here,” Lewis said. “It’s the first time in my career where it’s become a business instead of playing the game that I love.”

oof.

Hello Twins fans! My dad and I are working on his dream of visiting every stadium in the Majors and we will be visiting Minnesota for the game against the Rockies on 6/26. We are flying in that day at 11:00.

So I’m looking for recommendations for things to do pre-game in the area and best places to park for the stadium. My dad is 73 and while he’s mobile, he’s still got some pretty shaky knees.

Any recs on parking and places to visit before the game with that in mind? Also, what’s the best snack/drink in the park?

Thanks!

Hi all! I hope this okay to post on here but I figured I’d get the best advice. My husband and I are going to the Twins vs. Dodgers game on Monday, June 22nd. We will be driving about 3 hours and plan to stay over the night of June 21st and 22nd. Our usual go to hotel in downtown Minneapolis is outrageously priced (figured with the games) so I am looking for recommendations on some decently priced hotels that aren’t too far from Target Field! We aren’t picky at all, just somewhere that is clean with a comfortable bed lol. Any advice is so appreciated!! Thank you in advance!! 😊

I am so insanely excited to watch the next 120 games of Byron buxton. I really am! But if I have to see another Matt wallner strike out I might just freak out. Royce Lewis is doing just as bad but we know he can heat up. Wallner straighten up sucks at the game of baseball. The advanced metrics simply can’t make up for the fact the he can’t put the bat to the ball. I might cry every day he is still on this team. On the other hand, Byron buxton is the greatest player of all time.

I don’t get to watch many games as I live in Canada. But this once top prospect looks totally lost at the plate. Is this typical this year? It seems like from his stats. Or did he give up on the team like most of the fans have? I’ve been a fan for 40 years from afar so I feel I can say that.

Is anyone able to explain why he is still on this team? Been trying to give him a chance for years and he produces nothing but strikeouts and below average defense. He will most likely hit a homerun today now that I’ve said this but his time has to be coming to a close. I love Byron buxton❤️
