Well, so Torii did that.

[Danchat]

Just told my dad, "Torii's only hitting .253. He isn't good anymore." Next pitch: WHAM! Home run.

Perhaps I should consider sticking forks in some players next...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Shortest possible home run!

It'll be a line drive in the box score...

[DiscGolfer]

Who would you bring in with the bases loaded and 2 out?  Chances are this game is closer now if Hughes comes out there.

[DaveW]

Hopefully that jump starts Hunter, for better or worse he is likely our starting RF the rest of the year and hitting high in the order. Can't help but think maybe the day off helped him?

If it wasn't a 5-0 game you bring in the LOOGY Rourke there I suppose?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer on second.

 

Come on, Sano, bring him home!

New Career path... An exciting time in any ones life.

Seems like Sano has gotten more aggressive and chasing bad pitches since his first AB.

Andy Greder on Twitter:

 

 

Torii Hunter ties Kirby Pucket for sixth on the #MNTwins home run list; Joe Mauer then ties Tony Oliva for second on doubles list.

That wasn't really a bad pitch as much as it was a "good pitch".

[Riverbrian]

I had Jamaican food tonight. 

 

Interesting menu... I went with the goat since I've never had it before. It was OK... but I don't need to have it again. 

 

I kinda felt like Andrew Zimmern singing No Woman No Cry. 

[USAFChief]

Duensing was warmed and ready.

[David HK]

It's hard to type, cuz I have to watch bullpen innings between my fingers like at a Friday the 13th movie.

Yeah...but ultimately, that's a bad thing.

When I watch the bullpen... I do that to.

 

And when you take your fingers away its harder to see because I've smudged my glasses. 

[Craig Arko]

This ump really likes to think about it before calling a strike.

[DaveW]

 

Duensing was warmed and ready.

That's why I said "if" it wasn't 5/6-0.

[David HK]

Cripes, it's terrible that a 6 run lead feels scary when our bp guys get in.

nice to see an ump thinking at least

[Craig Arko]

Good enough, BD.

Suggestion:  set down both beers before you put your fingers to your eyes.

Already thought of that... I got one of those beer holding helmets and the tube. 

[DaveW]

Nice bomb!

[spinowner]

You can't handle the Plouffe!

[Brock Beauchamp]

LOL Plouffe.

[DaveW]

How many HR could one expect out of a 3-4-5 lineup next year of Sano, Dozier and Plouffe? 100?

[DiscGolfer]

Twins/ Yankees, 7-0, 3 HR, who's winning?

[Riverbrian]

Halsey is going to like Plouffe eventually
