Defense wins championships.

Nice positioning there. Give us at least 5 innings, Jake.

Not good for Jake when he doesn't get those pitches.

Is this Big Strong Matthew LeCroy out there?

Gonna need all the runs we can get today.

Excellent performance from the lineup today. Great to see Buxton continue to play well. Go Twins!

And the Indians blow a 4 run lead in the ninth!

Boys are really helping my fantasy team with all these dingers today!

Hate to see Romero struggling like he is.

That was a heck of a play by Cron. He's been extremely solid over there so far this year.

Save some runs for tomorrow, boys!

Wooo!!!

Eddie!!!

Lookin' good so far. Need to get these games against the Orioles!!

I'd say let's let these guys see some major league pitching before we offer them long term, high dollar contracts.

Duff Man says OOO YEAH!

Anyone know why Colina is on the IL?

Why bring in Vasquez here? Dumb move.

Marwin's lack of arm at third base is a little scary. Dude seems to barely make every throw he makes.

It'd sure be nice to get off to a good start here tonight. These two games would be big wins in the early season.

Luis Rivas was good for one year. Him and Guzman could sure turn a double play though!

Wasn't all this said about Buxton? Hope Royce crushes it this year, but I think there is more reason to be optimistic about Kirilloff than Lewis. Time will tell. Hope the guy crushes it and forces the hands of Falvey and Levine, or I'd package him for a dynamite starting pitcher. Proven MLB'ers > prospects

This notion that players don't get paid is mind boggling. They are making a minimum of $500,000 a year to play a sport. How many people here make that much a year? It would take me 9 plus years to make what league minimum is in the MLB. Not to mention as long as you are on the 40 man roster, you are making the league minimum. I don't feel bad for players who are making that kind of money to be pouting that they want more. Follow some league minimum guys on instagram and tell me how bad you feel that they don't get paid "until thirty". Players who make the mlb and are under "serfdom" are doing just fine. I'll trade places with them if they want. I'm a teacher in an urban district making $60,000 a year with two months off during the summer and around six weeks of vacation during the school year. A common complaint among teachers is that we don't get paid to our relative worth to the community, so if complaining about $500,000+ compared to a baseball players relative worth to the community is where we are at, how can you feel bad for the Bryce Harper's of the world?

I guess I should have added a list: Nathan Cuddyer Morneau Hunter

Let's hope this guy pans out. He could be a beast and a great 1-2 combo to go with Berrios (if he continues his success). Love the ability to get to triple digits. I believe in Reusse's article Graterol says he really only hits 100 in the first pitch; which he likes to buzz right by the inside part of the plate. Keep up the hard work, Brusdar! Thanks for the write-up, Nick. Very well done.
