Whadya know, an out!

Kaat hasn't worked 2 full innings and he's already proven his baseball acumen is far superior to any of the others teaming with Bremer.

Oh yeah, he’s great

Setting ourselves up for a vintage 105 pitch 4.2 IP outing from Happ tonight. 

It was a ball, but Happ wants to get tossed

That was a dart from Rortvedt. Perfect spot. 

Wow, what a perfect throw!

That was the only throw that gets him

The Royals have the most stolen bases in the AL, I’m guessing they have the most caught stealings also, an equally important stat that’s never mentioned. They actually have a worse record than the Twins, so what good has  it done them

Great minds… I had a NY Strip on the grill tonight with twice baked potatoes!

Huh. I marinated three NY strips for carne asada tacos tonight.

Unless you hit him in the head with the throw and keels over and off the bag.

Kaat should be in hall of fame.

That was one of the first things sabermetrics discovered. If your success rate on SB isn’t ~70% or better, you’re doing no better than breaking even on offense and likely hurting yourself. 

Way to advance the runners, Nelson.  Still have to play fundamental baseball with an occasional bomba.

Jinx alert. Good start for Winder in St. Paul. 4 hitless innings.

2nd start for him in AAA, right? Typically I’d want to see him settle in for a month or 2, but he’s the only healthy option with upside at the moment. 

First AAA start I believe.

Kaat was a good hitter too

And an excellent fielder,he got close to or exceeded double digit gold gloves.

Thanks LV!

Kaat was also a good baserunner, enough so that he was used as a pinch runner on occasion.

16 I hear

Kepler is…. Not good. Seriously, he is not good. 

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. The Twins leave the bases loaded.
 

It’s too bad Refsnyder is injured. Kepler’s needed a reset in St. Paul for weeks.

We missed our chance to trade Kepler for a haul... now, when he's supposed to be in his prime, he's a shell of his former self. Yes, I know his overall track record isn't great, but since returning from injury he's been abysmal at the plate.

Kaat could kick Chuck Norris' ass.

You should make a list

According to BR he was used as a pinch hitter 24 times and a pinch runner 85 times.

Why was he not in hall of fame?  16 gold gloves.   I believe he had about 270 wins.   He deserves to be in hall of fame.
