The pitch was filthy. Bottom dropped out at the plate.

 

OK, and why was he swinging when a 2 for 2 guy was coming up?

Do you really think he was thinking "this pitch looks good but I better not swing because Aaron Hicks is 2-2 and hitting after me"?

OK, enjoyed it folks.  bring home a "winnah" for me.

 

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.  The taxi's waitin', blowin' his horn.  

 

I'm leaving on a jet plane.  Don't know when I'll be back again.  Oh VodkaDave, I hate to go.

Moar gold glove fielding by the Twins' new star third baseman, Miguel Sano. Is it too soon to predict a galactic quasar award?

How do you swing and miss 3-0?

 

Greg Gagne used to teach this at his baseball camp, based on his experience from the one time he went 3-0 in his career...

He's 7-9 in SB attempts now this year, not too bad. 

I know, he's actually pretty good at it. I was teaching young boys about stealing bases a couple summers ago. It's all about timing the pitcher. Even the fairly slow kids can grab a base with the right timing, up until about sixth grade, and that includes stealing 3rd and home. So many pitches hit the backstop... it's great!

 

BTW, one thing I really like about Hicks is that he actually does what I teach the kids, which is to always do three skips towards the next base, landing the third skip just as the ball gets to the catcher. If he drops it, you keep going. Works every time in kid ball.

Fryer - 1.167 OPS. Can a long-term extension be far away?

Beat me to it.  Will 4/40 get it done?
