Carlos Correa was a late scratch due to back spasms. Buxton gets a day off. Gallo is day-to-day and out of the lineup again today. Kepler is on the 10-day IL with patellar tendinitis, and Polanco is rehabbing in the minors. That means two things:
1) Of the Twins’ $158 million payroll, $75.476 million is out of the lineup today. If Jeffers had be scheduled to catch instead of Vásquez, that number would be $85.476 million.
2) Nick Gordon, cleanup hitter.
This is here.
I'm disgusted with the Twins' opponent.
Got me wondering about the largest difference between a team's cheapest and most expensive starting ten.
Picked out this game without looking for others, and it looks like the starting lineup cost:
$48,909,921 from a payroll of $211,496,041 (23% of the payroll)
A bunt? Ew
A bad bunt. Ew
I think I’d prefer Wallner up with the bases loaded.
a bases loaded run!
Looks like once again in 2023 White Sox and defense are mutually exclusive items.
2) Nick Gordon, cleanup hitter.
like a fox
h3lls b3lls
Booooo
Nick Gordon, cleanup
hitterrunner.Chicago's infield defense is not very good
That swing was unfortunate.
So, Buxton is not able to play the field for a half inning yet, either.
Would it have cost Scots any more to have hired an ad man who had an actual Scottish accent?
Is this a joak about a certain reputation for frugality?
No, it's serious critique on a really spotty hack job of an accent. James Doohan did a better job. And I going to have to hear it all season. Or more*
*have the Harris family finally left the Target clothing department?!
I’m with you, FWIW. I find the ads grating and offensive.
