Buxton venting after that boneheaded play by Rosario.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton's trade value just went up! 

 

Syndergaard + deGrom for Buxton?

I know it's a joke, but I'd have to do that.......I think. Ya,

Twins now have 10 players w 10 Home runs. When was the last time a team could say that?

[Diesel]

This series will hopefully get our pitchers back on track....

[Mill1634]

Marlin's pitcher with the best AB of the game for them so far. HAHA

I believe it's actually 11

[yarnivek1972]

Bremer saying Odorizzi would like to go 0 for 4, obviously implying he would like to pitch deep into the ballgame, but I’m sure he would like to get at least one hit

The only way Odorizzi goes 0 for 4 is if the Twins score 12 runs in the first 5 innings.

Will jake ever go past 6 again?

When was the last time a team hit juiced baseballs?

[pierre75275]

Oops I forgot about Cron

[PDX Twin]

I think it's 11 now.

 

Even if all of them only had exactly 10, that would be more homeruns than Miami have hit.

[Don Walcott]

When was the last time a team hit juiced baseballs?

Well, at least this year. Every team has had that opportunity.

[gil4]

 

When was the last time a team hit juiced baseballs?

'87?

 

After that, there was a period of time when the players were juiced.

[Mike Sixel]

It's already 8 something there, right

Did the league actually use juiced baseballs at some point back then?

[Mill1634]

Garver seems to be in a slump right now.

 

Edit:  That is because he is

At least 86-87, for sure.

As others have noted, it's 11. 

 

But to your question: Last year, when the Yankees had 12.

I believe our Twins became the first team with 4 guys to hit 30 HR that year.

Wayda go Miguel Sano! Smacked that ball at 112 MPH off the bat. Loving his resurgence.
