While Sano's big hits were "unsustainable", can we also agree that his record-setting strikeout pace is also unsustainable? I'm just as upset as the next guy, but he's got to get better...right?

 

Absolutely. I assume he'll come back down to his 35% career average, but in my opinion even that is probably too high for the 3 hole. It's great when he gets hot or runs into some hangers, but otherwise it's just a rally killer. Now if he got that strikeout rate down to 30% or less while keeping the production up...then we're cooking with gas and he can choose his own lineup spot every day.

Insurance run is great, but part of me is still hoping that the Astros just decide it's too cold to stick around for the top of the ninth.

He's not going to strike out at 50% forever but does Sano strike you as a player that puts any effort into getting better? The pitchers facing him on the other hand? Watching him bat is my least favorite part of a twins game. He has no discipline whatsoever and he's closing in on 1500 career PAs

Rodney being Rodney?

 

He marches to the beat of his own drummer, who I'm pretty sure is Animal from the Muppets.

who made the play?

 

Dozier. He used a backhanded glove toss, and possibly a little bit of The Force.

Dozier ranged to his right and slid behind second to glove a ground ball, flipping it with his glove to Escobar to get the lead runner and nearly complete the double play.

His walk up ... and then falling off the mound.

 

Every catch something out of the corner of your eye and then instantly doubt that you saw it? Thanks for clearing that up.

Not sure where the "remote" is on my TV, let alone what a "rwd" would do to it.
