Insurace runs!
-
Geez, they gave away a run. There goes the “Rogers cushion”.
-
Five and fly for Dick Mountain?
-
That double is probably his first time where Buxton displayed caution chasing a fly ball.
-
There goes the strike zone.
-
About 1200 feet of flyballs there. So far, just one run.
-
Two straight days of catcher home runs. It's like Garver is back from the Injured List.
-
No ESPN here, so I am "watching" on GameDay, which shows BA for nine segments in the strike zone. Buxton's BA in all three of the top zones is .000. I recall Smalley saying that he should not swing at anything above the belt until he has two strikes. That might be a good idea.

I'm a little disappointed that the Twins didn't adjust their rotation now with the two off days. They could have gone with Maeda, Pineda and Berríos for this series all on full rest. The next series would be Hill, Dobnak, Maeda and Pineda. They have two off days in the following week.

Romo calls a lot of attention onto himself. I can see why he irritates opponents. As Squirrel said he needs to be able to take abuse if he calls so much attention to himself.

Maeda has been excellent. His ERA isn't close to Bieber's, but he has been both efficient and effective. His WHIP is the best in baseball. When he has exited mid-inning, Twins relievers have allowed runners to score, also he has given up some multi-run innings. Maeda is 11th in IP, 18th in K's per inning and 11th in ERA. In this abbreviated season, I think that is "ace territory".

Lewis is not on the 40-man roster. I doubt they make such a move unless they think he could help in the playoffs. The guy they are paying a lot of money to fill the role of 10th position player starter hasn't hit at all for over a month. I suspect they'll keep trotting Marwin out there hoping that he will start hitting as he did in the first few weeks of the season.
