I sure hope all these pitching prospects we've been hearing about the last two years start showing up and contribute something.

A summary of the top of the 4th in no particular order   - Sogard crushed a fat high pitch - a couple of bloops went in, Smoak smoked one, a walk and there was a sharp grounder right to where a 2nd baseman is normally positioned but we were in a shift with 3 fielders on that side - just not one where the ball was hit.   Maybe we get to see a little more of Harper today and we can come back.

I always made chicken cordon blue for dates I wanted to impress. Super easy, but looks hard to make.

Plus it's really good and very easy to pair with wine!

 

Nice call!

Dang, Buxton JUST missed a HR there. Too bad Astudillo couldn't score there, but Bux hit the ball too hard!

Buxton is really being consistent. No complaint... but he is hitting it harder than Mauer Power this year - just short of going out. I like the doubles tons..... but hopefully the extra 20 pounds and launch angle starts putting those doubles out of the park.

Encouraging that Harper didn't add to his excessive (5 so far is it?) inherited runners scored total.

Called strike on La Tortuga??!?!?! How many times has that happened this year?

 

Believe it or not, that was the first one.  Or at least the first pitch fangraphs deemed in the zone that he did not swing at.

Buchholz been living on the edge all day, seems like the Twins continue to miss opportunities to make him pay.

 

Twins have continuously had 2 men on and 2 out and can't get the big hit. And here we are again in that same situation.

Good ribyeyes, decent rub, baked potatoes and a veggie or salad and you're good to go.

Wow, swinging at a hot garbage ball 4 pitch there Gonzo. Ugh, another instance of Twins stranding guys out there. Same old broken record.

Not a lot of sparkling OBPs in the lineup as expected, but guys on base hasn't seemed to be an issue this year as much as getting those guys in
