1st base coach got ejected

What? That was a catch. I'll take it though. Indians shouldn't be that mad. We all know they're giving up 10+ runs today

That last freeze frame showed the ball changing trajectory.  Whether or not the glove was underneath...impossible to tell.  But the ball definately bounced.

Yes!!! Have a good night Bauer

Looked like a clean hit to me

 

make room to load the bases  

Better monitor their intake or those bases will need treatment before long.

 

Wow, this plate discipline is something I could get used to seeing.

 

When does Gehrig come up in this Murderer's Row?

 

Ryan gave Gehrig a look, but didn't think he fit what the team needed.

Definitely a catch, it bounced from the side of the glove into the webbing.

Things are surely changing for the Twins....

You can tell that?

 

You must have a better TV than me.

 

Or better eyes.  There's that, too.  

Tough to complain about ANYTHING that's gone on lately, but golly gee, sano has been ABYSMAL

I like that the Indians have to bring in pitchers from triple A. Talk about getting wrecked

He has good plate coverage and strike zone judgement/pitch recognition, he just seems to have fallen into a habit of checking his swing on Every. Single. Pitch. Bad habit.

I've probably told this story, but I was at the Big A that night when Niekro got ejected.  4th deck, between 1st and home.  I could see the board fly out of his pocket from there.

I think all the check swings on bad pitches is in direct conflict with the idea he has good strike zone/pitch recognition. :-)

I don't imagine that someone caught cheating like niekro would be given an appearance on the late show in 2016 pc America

What? Are you saying we don't need another 1B/DH type?

Pics or it didn't happen

Did they tell Duffey to pretend he's coming in for long relief? Good psychology...

Much better, Duffey

Thats fair. I just don't remember him doing that as much last year. It looks to me like he's checking even when the ball is nowhere near the zone. I don't think he needs that much of a head start with his swing. At least I hope not.

Ya know, as crappy as it is that the Indians appeared to get the shaft on that catch, I don't feel all that bad. I've seen a number of pictures of the crowd from their games recently, and the support the (first place) team is getting is atrocious. Granted it's not a fancy new park and the bball team won earlier, but you gotta do better than 15k in August for a first place club.

I commented on that a bit back.   You look at all the bad attendance teams this year and they can all be somewhat explained away....except Cleveland.

That pic made me nauseous

Twins up 8 - 2.  Shouldn't one of them be working on a 3 HR day??

I'm the guy in the Twins shirt.

Yup. He's also breathing through his eyelids like a lava lizard, and wearing some new gear from Under Armour.

The last time the Twins scored at least 10 runs in 3 straight games was July 25-27, 2010 vs. Baltimore and Kansas City
