Zach Larson looked like he robbed a homerun in last nights game as well. He ran right to the wall and made a leaping catch. I couldn't tell from my angle if it would have been over, but its the second fantastic catch for him I've see in 2 games.

Great article and great pitching the other night! It's great the Kernels players are getting out in the community, especially working with school kids. I don't know if it has really sunk in with some of the newer players that they are now professional baseball players. To most kids in the Midwest, that is synonymous with Batman or Superman. Even if it feels a little awkward, it is definitely making a difference. PS. I hope Curtis and White are on good terms after their mini collision in front of third. Talk about an awkward moment, haha.

This is a team with ZERO leadership. Neither the coaching staff, nor the veterans seem to give a damn how the team is playing. The Twins are a major league baseball team. Its a privilege to get to play at this level. I sit and watch guys work their tails off here in Cedar Rapids hoping for a chance to move up, but when I turn on FSN to watch a Twins game, all I see are guys who commute to work each morning to collect their paycheck. The Twins don't have a single name on their roster you could use to convince someone to check out a Twins game. - 'Hey, come check out the newest exhibit of natural history, Torii Hunter' - 'Want to go see a Twins game? Remember Joe Mauer, the leagues best offensive catcher? He's now a mediocre at best first baseman with the tenacity of pocket lint!' - 'We have a designated hitter that kind of looks like David Ortiz!!' The only thing that could convince me to go to a game at Target field this year is the possibility of running into Marney Gellner or Jamie Hersch. Something has to change and soon. We've been told to just wait while players develop into their roles in the majors for the last five years. The only thing that has developed in that five years is a culture of mediocrity.
