Molly must be giving up, no Dan San in the lineup going with the B team tonight.

In the Twins Insider podcast, Miller said that Molitor views UTL as a position or positional, can't remember for sure.  Anyway,  Polanco is the UTL INF and Dan San is the UTL OF.

Twins broadcast having technical difficulties, auto-switched to Royals broadcast.  Sweet!

 

EDIT:  And Twins get a Double-Play to end inning.  Extra Sweet

Stats declining or over paid or whatever.

 

Mauer still has sweet looking swing.

Bruno has some more work to do......

Great timing, too.  Batting practice is over.   Er, Gee got pulled  

[HitInAPinch]

This Flynn looks pretty hit-able, too.

[HitInAPinch]

that was a pretty cold fan......

Just don't pull a hammy, Miguel.

God, I hate it when Bremer uses his "home run voice" for any fly ball hit longer than 250 feet.

WOW that Dozier blast might be the longest one I've ever seen him hit -- back row of the second deck!

[HitInAPinch]

Jim Eisenreich:  Boy, there was one that got away.  2 years out of baseball and comes back strong.

Nice game thread write up!

 

Suzuki is still catching?!

 

And Duffy is still pitching?!?

POLANCO !!

[Riverbrian]

There goes Polanco

 

Showing off that cannon of a weak arm again. 

[Riverbrian]

Polanco and his arm strength is another example of why I never read some guys scouting report on anyone and believe it. 

 

And after this season... The Twins brain trust either.
