Bad jump. No chance.

 

Jim Palmer was speculating it was a hit and run, but Mauer didn't swing because it was too far outside the strike zone. Who knows?

That's nice of him to make that concession to Hicks, but Mauer has enough bat control to at least put the ball in play even on that.

Sorry about the Bauer updates... But his Cleveland debut is interesting.

 

Now Bauer just struck out while batting. Earlier catcher Marson got hurt... DH Santana had to vacate the DH to strap the pads on. So the Bauer has to bat.

 

Hope Gardy doesn't see that.

Interesting. Palmer thinks Oliva belongs in the Hall of Fame.

Guys like Oliva stand to gain ground with the gradual shift away from counting stat career totals as the primary yardstick.

It's only five games but damn, this team sure looks better than the 2011 and 2012 editions.

 

this team will hit... No doubt in my mind. They gotta clean the D up and make it shiny.

The D is sloppy but overall, it's better. Plouffe and Dozier look like different players and Escobar/Florimon are much rangier players. Even Parmelee looks okay out there.

 

They're not going to win any awards but if they stop the bone-headed plays, they might even be good.

I think there have been two costly missed calls that cost the Twins 3 total runs, both from Jones's at bats: The non-foul ball and the non-strike check swing.

We better not lose this game because of the umpiring. 3-2 sounds like a good record to me.

 

I couldn't agree with you more. 3-2 sounds like a great record and if we lose... I hope umpiring has nothing to do with it.

Does anyone know Hicks minor league splits are... Off hand.

 

I don't know exactly but 2011 he had a lot of trouble from the left side, which caused a lot of talk to have him move to all righty. Supposedly that changed last year.

I've not been on board with Dozier being the answer in the MI, but I gotta say I love how he plays 2B.

Agreed, Dozier looks pretty comfortable at 2nd base. That diving play against McLouth was really sharp and most runners would have been out.

Another missed call. I don't normally get down on the umpires, but this has been pretty rough, though they may have missed an out on Doumit earlier when he was trying to get back to first. That may make 3 missed calls by that 1B ump...(two on Doums and check-swing)
