We've gone through the lineup 3 times. We should hit this guy, this inning!

 

Or...next inning. Next inning for sure.

Hurray ! Nunez gone from LF

Defensive replacement, or did Nuñez get injured?

Its on Gardy now.  How long will he leave Gibson in there.  If he gets thru the 7th cleanly, he should go out for the 8th.  Ooops! a hit

I think Gardy had seen enough of Nunez

Nicely timed double play. One more good pitch and Gibson gets out of it.

Good for Gibson. He deserves another inning.

Whew!

Burton was warming, but I hope Gardy gives Gibson the 8th. He's been great today. Pitch count is low (82) let him have the 8th and see how he goes from there.

ANOTHER 3 hit game for Danny Santana!

Another hit by Santana. I am starting to anticipate hits....reminds me of Spans rookie year.

Bull Dozier!!!!!

Damn I  like Brian Dozier.

And intentionally walking Mauer.  Bases loaded for Vargas.  This could be fun.

Guess he wanted nothing of Mauer

Wow - they want no part of Joe Mauer

C'mon Kennys ... SLAM IT!!

Vargas seems to come up with the bases loaded a lot. Hopefully he makes 'em pay here.

Defensive replacement, or did Nuñez get injured?

Yes.

Dozier!  I pray every day that he will start hitting for average and RISP

fastball count

Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!

Multiple Kenny with multiple RBI!

VARGAS!! He almost looks like a professional hitter !  More than anyone else, Vargas gives me hope.

Kennys!!!!!!!!, no GS but I'll take it, nice stroke!

Kenny V getting it done!

They have to let Gibson come back for the 8th now, right?

Not the best PA from Plouffe there...

OK - I decided I am a little too easily swayed, but I am back to thinking that the tide has slowly turned and this August and September will not be as painful as the last few.

If Schaffer hits here, I may start taking him seriously.
