Wow, Kepler saves the day with a literal Superman move.

Either listening to his idiot third base coach or ignoring his wise third base coach.

Did we just get tricked by a little league play?

Great camera work. NOT.

 

I like them, too, because my best mate is from there.  We met teaching at a school in Guangzhou-  he grew up in Brighton, and played "Bah-sket-bawl."  He was quite good, too.  I'm a Yank who (still- against nature, lack of both size and speed, and professional medical advice) plays rugby.  We figured we must have been switched at birth.  Besides, how can you not like a team with 2 names like that-  actually 2 1/2-  "AND Hove Albion."  I like that part.

 

I think that Hove and Brighton are kind of twin cities. Anyone for Minneapolis and St. Paul Twins?

Yes.

Ugh.

That's a bad run to give up. Story of this team for 20 years.

Wow. Twins apparently were just introduced to the concept of the double steal.

Sure did

Come on, man.

That was really bad. Like really bad

As long as Castro can frame a pitch, rudimentary first and third plays are just gravy, apparently.

Just think how much his former managers wish they had a dollar for every time they thought that.

Sometimes the stolen base is off the catcher, oftentimes it's off the pitcher. On this one, it was off the second baseman.

Gladden would have laid out for that foul ball if he was ball boy today.

Let's get some more offense going, now that Escobar has started us.

Yup. Twins caught with FISP - Fielders in Sleeping Position.

Parker Bridwell shutting us down tonight, folks. Parker Bridwell.

Still questioning the decision to sit Mauer. That squibber to end the inning with a guy on third hasn't helped me get over.

You know how Dozier would have looked in a Warner Brothers cartoon, once he took that first step to chase the runner from first?

Hrbek would have had that.

Also, does it seem like Mauer would have made a couple defensive plays at first too?

Sano made a very nice diving stop of a sharp grounder, earlier. But popups remain one of the weak spots in his game.

Fair enough. I've only seen about half the game so far.

I say it's time for some runs!

That double steal was really bad. Neither Castro or Dozier throw well enough to get a guy that fast. He didn't even have to slide. I'm thinking framing is the only thing Castro brings to the table.
