How great is it to have a hitter again that you simply can't make a mistake to? And he's just getting started, I'm giddy like a schoolgirl...................and not ashamed to admit it.

Yowza.

 

By the way, does Bert read TD? He just asked Dick if Beltre is a HOFer.

 

One question that will be answered in 2015 is "who bats fourth?"

Although I kind of like him batting third so he bats in the first inning every time. But you're right, by batting him fourth it increases the probability of the guy batting third (Dozier next year?) getting something sweet to hit.

 

Everybody aboard the bandwagon. No charge. Get your tickets while they last. Going fast. Will be a round-trip ticket, everybody home by October 1st.

 

 

 

Pelf through 5, unscathed.

This is like watching a game in bizarro world,  these things usually happen to the Twins.

I'm just glad that Miguel Sano seems to be overcoming his natural shyness at the plate.

 

Tee-hee.

Wow-  just stopping by on a busy day-  can Sano get a HR cycle?  solo, 2-R, 3-R, and GS?     Wouldn't that be a good gosh-darn day?

Keep raising that BA Aaron Hicks!

Good for Hicksie. 

Impressive Hicks, impressive. I take back all the bad things I said about you, even though I really liked you.

 

 

There it is again, Hicks is hitting the ball so hard that the infielders have almost no chance to field it. We are seeing Aaron Hicks 2.0, with a much better swing.

Run support anyone?

Good Job, Brian Dozier.  Double.

Well this is a pleasant surprise!

I like the Dozier doubles.  Makes it harder for Mauer to GIDP.

I'm sorry, but I'm not enjoying this.  Seeing a RH pitcher named Bass in a Twins game is bringing back too many nightmarish memories.

Mauer joins the hit parade, with Sano as protection.  lol.

I wonder if Joe Mauer could develop a Cuban Kick and a Dominican Bat Wave. Maybe he'd start jacking the ball around a little better.

A mere SF for Sano.

CBU:  11- 0 after 5.  Yeah, Twins!

It's the Hicks-Sano show!  Fun..........

Buck 4-5 with 4 runs scored tonight.....................damn wrist, thumb, whatever.

Go Pelf!!

 

 

By the way, Sano looks thinner than earlier this year. Is playing with the big club meaning he is eating healthier?

I would turn this game off, but I really want to see what Sano and Hicks do the rest of the game.

You'll note they didn't use their Bass in the 8th inning of a scoreless game.

Got anybody watching the Texas feed tonight? Curious about what they have to say about #22.

I am watching the Texas feed. Very complimentary of Sano and his size and power. On the 2nd HR they said the seats kept it from going further. Even the sac fly - he got jammed and the ball went to deep right. They also like Hicks. Said it shows you have to have patience with young hitters. Showed Pretty good background knowledge for Texas announcers

Maybe Torii's influence. He's pretty much an eat-healthy fanatic from what I gather.
