Mauer's been watching Kepler's swing. Boom.

[jimmer]

Mauer 4-4, 5 times on base, 2 extra base hits, 4 runs scored.

Wow it's all clicking tonight

 

Yes - it has been a pretty good game thread (which I am sure is just a coincidence of Brian being speechless).

[Aggies7]

Mauer 4-4 and 5 times on base.

And no one will remember it haha

[HitInAPinch]

Nice rip, Kepler.  Just not high enough.

many don't even want to :-)

So, where was this team in April and May?

Rochester

Axe-Bat!!

Judging by who's done most of the damage, Rochester, New York mostly.

I'm Ok with the Twins not trading Suzuki today as long as he keeps hitting.  Just don't go and give him a 4 year extension or something stupid like that.

Axe-Bat!!

Damn straight.  It's a difference maker!  @copywrite 2016

[jimbo92107]

Dang, just the number of hissing line drives is awesome today.

[amjgt]

If the Twins get a guy on in the 9th, Max will get another try for #4

Mauer 4-4, 5 times on base, 2 extra base hits, 4 runs scored.

And he's not the offensive star of the game.

[Mauerpower]

Just read that Duffy is back in the rotation and Malone is headed to the bullpen. I would rather have Duffy in the pen and Malone starting right now.

3rd Kepler HR, 108.7; 426 ft

[Willihammer]

Good. Who's the last pitcher who gave us a shot at 8-9 k's in a start?

Way too early to give up on Duff.

[jimbo92107]

3rd Kepler HR, 108.7; 426 ft

Ha! i guessed 108.5mph. Missed again. ;-(

[Willihammer]

Milone to pen is a long time coming IMO.

[Mike Sixel]

Bashers staying on his nine ERA since his call back.......

[HitInAPinch]

Not sure why they'd keep Milone around.  Seems like Twins have ample MiLB RP's they can bring up.

I was just going to say that it was the path towards another trip through waivers.

I do not see Milone's value as a bullpen guy. His game is finesse, not anything overwhelming. Maybe as a change of pace guy, or a long reliever?

I want a unicorn and rainbow too!

[Guest]

While I am confident he will get much better, does anyone else feel like that are watching Sam Duduno at times?

Take it easy, Walter.

[HitInAPinch]

Is that all it takes for Santana?  Get crippled, get 2 hits!!!

Me either. Duffy could use some time in the pen.

LETS GO KEP!!!!!
