[DrNeau]

Yelich grounds out to Dozier.

[DrNeau]

Arcia flies to left on a full count.

[DrNeau]

Kepler grounds weakly to 2B on first pitch.

[DrNeau]

Sweeney strikes out on a change in the dirt. Bat speed looking slow.

[DrNeau]

Stanton with an absolute LASER right at Santana - jumping catch.

[DrNeau]

Prado flies to LF... Sweeney nice sliding catch.

[DrNeau]

Bour grounds out to 1B on a major shift. Escobar with the 6-3 putout in the infield grass between 1B and 2B. Nice play - made it look easy.

Outstanding PxP, DrNeau.  Much appreciated.  Particularly enjoyed the linguistic analysis of Park!

 

[DrNeau]

Escobar pops to short right. Gordon with the catch. Murphy flies to the track in CF. was well-hit.

Thanks. Yeah, couldn't believe it. I guess he was forced to yell some English there. Seems like a large Korean following here taking video of his ABs.

[DrNeau]

Beresford check swing strike three.

[DrNeau]

Bottom of 5 now, 1-0 Twins.

[DrNeau]

Candy hop to 3B Beresford... everyone yelled. Clear error - called a hit.

[DrNeau]

Hechevarria grounds to Escobar; Dozier throws off-line to 1B. Park comes off bag to left with sweeping catch-tag. Nice play by Park for DP. Ichiro grounds to Dozier to end the inning. Nice play by Brian to his right... jumping throw to get Ichiro by a step.

[DrNeau]

Dozier check-swing strike three.

[DrNeau]

Santana drag bunt to 2B; Gordon underhand wildly... Santana would've been safe anyway. Ball gets by 1B... Santana to 2B on the play.

[DrNeau]

Park flies to right center.

[sane16]

Dozier check-swing strike three.

Is that what they mean when they say "streaming"?

[DrNeau]

Too shallow to tag up and take 3B.

[DrNeau]

Ramos pitching... right-hander.

[DrNeau]

Arcia's bat speed looking legit.

[DrNeau]

Strikes out swinging on outside & off-speed.

[Mike Sixel]

How did Milone look?

[big dog]

 

Arcia's bat speed looking legit.

Glad to hear it.  Hope it hits what it swings at a little more often too.

[DrNeau]

Milone still pitching to start the 6th. Looking sharp. Only one really well-hit ball so far. Gordon Ks.

...wow a K!!!!

[DrNeau]

Ozuna flies down RF line. Dozier was only person near it. Kepler couldn't get there - was shifting RC a bit. Base hit.

[DrNeau]

...wow a K!!!!

Looking.

[DrNeau]

Yelich grounds to 2B; dozier ranges left and double play attempt. Yelich beats it out.

[DrNeau]

Stanton homers over the building in left center. OMG THAT WAS DESTROYED. 2-1 Marlins. Don't know if I've ever seen a ball hit that hard. Maybe Sano's hit in Tampa last year. Unbelievable. This place is alive.
