Dozier does look a lot like Killebrew at times. Like his last AB.

 

But strikeouts happen.

Well, Kendrys goes boom, unfortunately. 

 

I still like what Berrios did today. He is building a mental book on the KC hitters which he will add to in the future.

CBU.

[Rosterman]

Someone somewhere mentioned that Dozier leads off and Twins batters get to see more pitches since he can take a walk or work a count. Unfortunately, he quickly shows a pitcher the one pitch he shouldn't throw again.

He got strike zone shy, IMO.  Afraid of Hosmer.  Then got in a bad count on Morales, and Kendrys was just sittin on that 2-0 change.

And Mauer ends up patiently waiting for a pitch that never comes. 

 

Joe doesn't have a chance to get back to what he once was.

And still he's one of our top 3 pitchers!!!

Two balls, two strikes, two on, two out

 

or, as Scully would say

 

Deuces Wild

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

foul ball

 

or as Carneal would say

 

"count rides along at 2 and 2"

[stringer bell]

Here's something for Rosario to remember--you get a lot better pitches to hit when you don't swing at pitches out of the zone.

[stringer bell]

Dozier's homers are official. Time to take care of some pressing matters. Nice hanging with TD denizens for a spell!

Swung on and missed.

 

Or as Hawk would say

 

"He gone."
 

[operation mindcrime]

Lol. That might of been the funniest attempt at catching a ball I've ever seen!

[Riverbrian]

If you didn't know the limestone was there. 

 

While Jumping for that ball.

 

Logan would have looked as ridiculous as anybody as ever looked in a professional baseball game.

Rochester Red Wings season is officially done now. 

 

Is it ok to assume that Vargas is on his way to Minnesota?

Just catching up, but how can Berrios be having a good outing.  Five runs in five innings with 9 HITS.  Let's try to raise our expectations like we do for the other #4&5 guys.

[Riverbrian]

Wimmers has a max effort change up and it goes well with his max effort fastball.

Berrios needs to throw less and pitch more. Stop trying to blow everyone away.

[amjgt]

Dick needs to stop mentioning how little Buxton has struck out since his recall. Did the same thing yesterday.

Holy **** Dozier, you just keep on doing your thing. 2 more today, crazy.

[Circus Boy]

Here's how I see things: Bases jammed, two outs. Either we score or we don't. Who's with me on this?

No

I'm actually looking at the second hand of my watch

 

How long it takes for Vargas to get here is going to reflect the amount of support that I give Rob Antony going forward.
