Mauer...smh

What the H are we doing on the base paths???

He has no plan to drive the ball and makes that clear in every AB.

How the H is it possible that AJ threw out Buxton?   sheezzz

What a dismal start this has been. Super ugly.

Wow, right down the pipe.....

Great fan and great thing he did.  Hat's off to him!  http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/attachments/private-seller-auction-seller-reviews/64672d1325846269-hats-off-harpua2002-applause-hat-tipping.jpg

I think he used his arm.

Reusse today did not insinuate, he flat out said that Sano is currently only interested in hitting, wants to be a mega star, and does not consider defense a part of that goal. Currently they have had little luck changing that situation. Reusse also contends, and I tend to agree that Sano is the most impactful player they have had in ten years, since M&M. And that for this team to ever have success Sano needs to understand the importance of work, and defense.

That is an interesting thing for Sano to say to Reusse.

I look forward to reading that interview.

But, AJ's arm !!

Are we going to waste yet another lead off runner?

I would say this game has been "grody"

IMO, what he makes clear with every AB is he has no ability to drive the ball.

Keplerzee!

Wow what a catch by kepler

This game is going twice as fast as any of the Boston games. We're an hour in and at the bottom of the 5th.

BUXTON !!!

 

Hey, ya gotta cut the kid some slack, sometimes  

I continue to believe we're going to learn at some point that Dozier is nursing an arm issue. Every throw is a rainbow of one degree or another.

Hair gel on his hands makes it hard to get a good grip on the ball.

This isn't going well.

Twins are racking up a pretty impressive number of LOB's. 

They show a picture of Rob Antony watching the game, and he's not on the telephone.  Slacker.

Circus music

Pro-ball at it's finest  

 

 

 

EDIT:  removed image.  Too annoying....

Most of the plays i notice he fails to set his feet, or any other part of his body for the throw.

 

Small wonder if there is some arc.

 

Occasionaly that is due to the need to beat the runner, but i wouldn't be surprised if he is just living the good life of a short range second baseman.

 

How is he on the relay?

Did gameday actually say "Popped out to 3rd baseman Miguel Sano."

 

Hurray for the little things in life.

 

"And there was much rejoicing."

Go back and watch the 4-2-3 DP the other night in Boston.  If any ball, ever, needed to be rifled to home, that was it.  It was yet another rainbow.  Same on a DP ball from last weekend.

 

Same for every throw I've seen him make.  He hasn't been able to throw hard, even when needed.

Damn! This guy throws a 100 mph. I thought that was only allowed in triple A  

 

18 LOB

 

Twins not having a very RISPy evening, it appears ...
