Go Twins!

[Loosey]

This bothers me when Sweeney is getting AB's over Buxton in Spring Training.  In my opinion Buxton should be playing daily, at least getting 2-3 AB's per game from here on out.

[DrNeau]

Dozier flies out to LF on 3-2.

[DrNeau]

Santana strikes out... ball gets away from C... Santana doesn't really run it out. Would've been close had he ran... throw was in the dirt, too.

[DrNeau]

Park strikes out swinging.

[DrNeau]

Gordon hits a playable grounder down the first base line... Park misses the dive attempt. Kepler with an amazing play... turns and fires a one-hopper to gun down Gordon at 2B. Beautiful play... showing nice range/agility.

[DrNeau]

Ozuna walks.

[DrNeau]

Yelich... 5-4 putout. Nice pickup by Beresford.

[DrNeau]

Stanton grounds up the middle. 6-4 attempt... safe. Reaches on FC. Runners on 1B & 2B.

[DrNeau]

Can of corn to Kepler for the putout.

[scottz]

Did we win yet?

[DrNeau]

Arcia homers to left center.

ARCIA GO BOOM!!!!!  Geez I hope I get to say that 25 times this year.

Hell ... 50! (Yes, I know)

[DrNeau]

Escobar with a batted ball to RF... lands in front of Stanton. Short hopped. Kepler hung up between first and second. Kepler looked hosed... DID NOT RUN. Stanton throws wildly... SS had to come way off the base and had to jump. Kepler could've been safe but didn't run. Quite a few people yelling at him. Wow. Have to run that out. Seems to be an issue with this team. Needs to be nipped in the bud. Murphy pops up to first in foul territory to end the inning.

[DrNeau]

Bour grounds out to first.

[DrNeau]

Realmuto grounds down 3B line... diving stop by Beresford to save a double. Infield hit.

[DrNeau]

Hechevarria flies out to CF.

[DrNeau]

Conley grounds out to 2B.

[DrNeau]

1-0 Twins after 2.

[DrNeau]

Beresford grounds out. 1-3 putout.

[DrNeau]

Dozier draws a walk. Good AB.

[DrNeau]

Dozier steals 2B.

[DrNeau]

Santana walks.

[DrNeau]

Park GIDP 6-4-3.

[DrNeau]

Gordon with a weird in-between hop w/ tons of spin. Escobar with a nice pick. 6-3.

[DrNeau]

Ozuna pops up to the pitxher's mound. Park said IN ENGLISH - "I've got it". Interesting. Made the catch with a laugh.
