Hello everyone! Welcome to the game thread for Friday against the Rays. What has happened in the last 24 hours? Well, the Twins hit five homers against Gerrit Cole in two and a third innings and still

Byron Buxton is superhuman. I keep watching that second homer on repeat. He didn’t even swing through, he just stopped the bat. He’s probably the most pure athlete in Twins history.

The person doing the PBP just said that target field has a DJ who “keeps it fresh” despite just playing sweet dreams by the eurythmics

Bad job by Kepler not getting in a position to back up Gordon. Not that it would have mattered now.

No. Kepler had a chance for the catch, especially with it being Gordon instead of Buxton.

Anybody think Gordon is a MLB CF after that....

Gordon should get that no doubt, But what was Kepler doing? They both stood there deciding who was going to run it down

You go after the ball until called off.

Happy?

Absolutely no problem with him starting the inning. Probably would have yanked him after the second homer but no problem with him being out there to start the 7th in a 6 run game. Still a 4 run lead with a man on and 9 outs to get. Even a bad bullpen like ours should be able to handle that. Should

Should  is the keyword in that statement

I am slowly becoming a believer in Jax. Still not totally convinced.

That Twins uniform will do that

I'm talking about the carom. Watch the replay. They both stood there for at least 2 seconds

You are correct. I would have to assume that Kepler saw how deep the ball was hit and assumed Gordon would catch it (Gordon was well in front of the wall and the ball did not hit very high on the wall). The ball then caromed back towards center field and it take Kepler a moment to get to it. Bad OF defense all theway around on that play.
