Well, at least we avoided our recent problem with 2 out hitting

Well thanks to the double play line out, we only went 0-2 that inning with RISP, instead of the 0-3 we would've gone without. So there's that. I've never seen so many infield line outs by the Twins as this year. Every game seems to have a couple of rockets. Maybe it's all the shifting teams are doing but probably just bad luck.

Or they could try hitting the ball a little higher so it gets over of the infielders.

No... It's just a different 2 out hitting problem.

We've turned it into a 2-out at-batting problem

The Rangers seem to be purposely getting to 2 outs the same way Mauer likes to hit with 2 strikes.

 

Well played Ron Washington

...brian...brian...brian can I have pork chops instead of steak?

Well done, Santana!

And Danny tries to get something started ....

I love successful bunts for a hit.

No!!! In honor of Tibs... It's Mutton or Lamb tonight.

wonder what a bases clearing two bagger looks like?

 

If you go to Game-day they have a video of the one Choo hit.

Mauer's got 50 base hits for the year now!

 

... 41 singles.

Runs?......whoo hoo!

Mauer's got 50 base hits for the year now!

Sad but true at his current pace Joe will end up with 6 hr, 49 rbi and 123 k's.

How's that?......Good call.

Kubel is donezo and needs to go away.

Got back 2. That is ok.

Neither pitcher will probably go 5 innings at this rate.

Not a bad half inning - the Twins can stay in this one if they can have a few more like that

Kubel......starts with K

Kubel......starts with K

 

That little trick is all that keeps me from spelling it Qubel

Great job to get the Twins off the field and back to the plate

They are getting some hits this game.

MLB Gamecast: Brian Dozier grounds out to catcher Robinson Chirinos. Brian Dozier out on batter interference.

 

Would someone care to add some description for those of us who can't see the video until tonight? It sounds like the odd kind of play that should be followed by "Manager Ron Gardenhire ejected."

That swing has a future

Plouffe seems pretty good at finding 2nd base.

 

(and now he found 3rd base too)

 

I hope he can make it further...

trying to "watch" the game at work - what is the delay right now?

Hallelujah ... thank you Mr. Willingham.

Ok... Let's try...
