Dozier clarifies matters. A 2-run dinger is better than a single.

Wow, ultimate tough dig by Mauer. That was the worst kind of tweener bounce, and on the grass, too. 

That's why you play Mauer and don't pinch hit for him, imo.

[jimbo92107]

Pain can focus the mind. Joe Mauer, perfect contact.

Buxton. Natural 3rd hitter.

[Circus Boy]

CBU: Big inning three innings late.

Don't care. We'll take it.

Buxton. Natural 3rd hitter.

Physically, yes. But he still gets too wound up when batting near the top of the order. Let him get more games under his belt, so he can learn to stay a little more relaxed.

Kintzler should do well against a TTO team like Tampa Bay, because he's the anti-TTO pitcher.

[Squirrel]

Well ... uh ...

Er, uh, hmph.

Buxton. Natural 3rd hitter.

Better than a quarter hitter, but not quite as good as a half?

 

He hit. Today, that is good enough for me...

 

Com on, hatch, ye chickens!

 

I desire to count ye!

All predictions true, or your money back.

[Squirrel]

Phew! Winnah! Nice one, Twins! Fire up the grills ... time for a chicken dinner!

[jimbo92107]

Three butts bumping in the outfield!

[amjgt]

3:35 for a 9 inning game with 8 runs scored.

It was good for you to mention this because it should be mentioned but I didn't want to click like.

1000/1000/1000 triple slash from the 3-hole in May

[Circus Boy]

This is fun! Last year one loss usually was followed by six or seven more in a hurry. Now we nip these losing streaks early. First-place Twins. Sounds right.

I worked all day got home for the bottom of the 8th, it was the perfect length.

My future daughter-in-law could probably translate that for me.

I went to the Mejía game that went four hours. There may be a number of long games when he takes the mound.

[Linus]

I think it was just two separate comments about two different players.

Correct.

[Blake]

So, out and about, not able to watch, no problem. Caught the highlights via mlb.tv. Excellent job, Mr. Dozier!

indians lost -- three-game lead for twins.

No, actually, after the years of futility, it's more like, "Who are these people and what have they done with the Twins?"

[Bark's Lounge]

I have the feeling that Dozier is about to go on an extreme hot streak with the bat.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Alright Kyle, over to you for the series win, please. Because we have Ervin, José and Hector lined up for Houston.
