Walters sure seems to have calmed down after being a little wild on the first. Hopefully his pitch count will stay low enough for him to give us 7 solid innings today.

Nothing has gotten into Plouffe, he is neither the guy who hit .114 (or whatever), nor the guy that will hit a HR in every game like the last two days. This is why you don't play a guy for 10 games and make a decision that is contrary to years of data from the minors and majors....(positive or negative).

Nice post.

Mauer does not appear to be running well. That double play grounder he hit was not hit hard and I thought it would have been a much closer play at first.

Maybe it's bi-lateral shoelace weakness....

Hard to tell from the TV shot, but I wonder if the LFer was playing shallower for Mauer than for Revere.

Butera is hitting this year. What the hell?

Who the hell is this guy - our catcher with the highest batting average - .316????

Could it be Bruno?

Could it be the magic of a small sample size?

 

He's contributed offensively so far. Good for him. Good for the Twins.

 

It's extremely unlikely to continue.

Under normal circumstances I'd be looking for the bullpen in the 7th. But with the bullpen in the shape it's in, I think you gotta hope for another inning from Walters.

He's hit well in Rochester too.....Maybe Bruno's helped him out a little....Just sayin'

Really...you groove one to Prince on a 3-1 count???? rather put him on and take my chances with DY who promptly grounds into whay may have been a inning ending DP....Plus still way too many LOB for the Twins.....UGGGG!

He at 76 pitches....you put him back out there for sure. Have someone warming up but he definitely goes back out.

Agreed...give him the benefit of the doubt that he may have actually improved and is now a better hitter (although he had set that bar pretty low).

yeah, its too bad everyone but Capps pitched yesterday. Cant trust Frankie in this situation. Burton threw 14 pitches last night and Perkins threw 10. Maybe one of those guys?
