just might need to start re-thinking who AL ROY is going to be :-)

 

Yeah... I'm thinking Berrios or Polanco. 

Congrats to Roy Kepler for a great game so far, more chances to come for another too.

Buxton would have had that.

Isn't he a golfer?

If Santana can't continue will Molitor forfeit?

Danny boy down.  

Buxton would have had that but would have run into the wall also

Give Sano some exercise:  carry Santana off the field.

That's it Dozier... Don't let the those OF's catch the ball... Take Charge!!!!

nice nice  

Which of today's trades did the Twins pick up this Berrios guy?

Wow, what a play by Dozier to end the inning. It's nice to see how good professional athletes can be. 

Definitely not the Keanu movie I was expecting.

 

"You keep using the word Keanu. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Kepler doing what is expected of him:  backing up Rosario.

I had the same thought, and dismissed it as just a routine thing for a big leaguer to do - go toward the ball, duh.

 

But, how nice is that, if we can take it for granted?

Nolasco, to all intents and purposes.

And last year at trade deadline half of the bloggers thought the Twins could throw Kepler in to get a quality pitcher.  I mean we had Hicks, Hunter, Arcia, Schafer, Robinson, and Walker and Buxton coming.  No need for the German who might be able to hit.

Royals game alert: Jennings got a double in the 8th. Hope it doesn't jinx the no-no to say that.

I'll take it for granted when we don't have to point out when it happens anymore.

My kids' bedtimes hadn't been too much of a problem because, well the Twins weren't giving my anything good to watch anyway.

 

I'm going to have to revisit 6:00 bedtimes though if these young guys keep doing this.

I was going to say, D-San now appears to be in his 2.0 version, too. He no longer looks super anxious, like he's waiting to be cut or sent down any minute. He's also developed some torque with his body. He turns his belt buckle to lead the swing, so he's added much better pop when he connects. Fun to watch him rip liners to the outfield. 

In town. Listened a bit on the way from having dinner with my mom..... Not ten seconds after saying the Rosario play was an error, Gladden says.....a lot of good defense out there tonight....

Wow it's all clicking tonight

Another great play for Dozier

I'm guessing Kepler will just try to stroke a single this time up. He's not a hot dog.

Wow, they brought in Miller ??

I'm calling it. Kepler ....…walks his next at bat. .

Not a good first impression for Miller.

MAUER !!!!!
