Max is the man

[Riverbrian]

KEPLER!!!

[DocBauer]

MAXIMUS!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

Atta Kep

[Diesel]

Kepler contract looks really good....

Again, obvious rhetorical question. But thanks for the review of baseball 101.

From where I sit, the ball looked pretty catchable. I don't think anybody reads that as a hit off the bat. You have to play that about 30 feet off second, because if it IS caught, it's a short throw to 2nd, and you CAN'T get picked off with no out. Once it falls, there's zero chance to score. It's one hop into the fielder's glove, who's already got his momentum coming in towards the infield.

 

I'm often critical of bad baserunning, but Arraez played that exactly correct. It's one reason that "BA w/ RISP" isn't the greatest stat. That was a hit, with a runner in scoring position. But it didn't score a run. And really had no chance to.

Lotta home runs this series

this

[Brock Beauchamp]

My prediction is that both the Twins and Yankees break the season home run record by 8:30pm tomorrow.

[DocBauer]

I got good bronchitis.

HAVE to tell me your secret! Lol

[Blake]

 

Cardinals didn't need Voit.

I'll take the under.

IMO not only was the ball catchable, a decent RF (say, Kepler) does it on his feet and it's a 30' toss to second.

[DocBauer]

Kepler has arrived! So glad patience was used with this kid!

 

And Rosario, and Polanco, and.....

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Maybe, hopefully, just possibly, that triple play reminded the Twins that they are capable of good fielding....

That Hicks dude used to be pretty, pretty good in CF too. Even though Judge was the one who got to it.

Depends on how quickly May's arm recovers.

That's his takeaway during a game against the Yankees?

Get a lead...Yanks get one back...and we answer immediately!

Again, obvious rhetorical question. But thanks for the review of baseball 101. Three different people.... and I still think it was a bad read.
