Does Gio still lead MLB in GDP?

Hardest hit ball in inning results in 2 outs

[Mill1634]

Great start and the Tigers look uninterested in playing once again. Could've buried them right there, but a 3-0 lead with Gray on the mound against the TIgers must be a W.

Vlad does with 15.  That was Gio's 14th, so right behind him.

Edit: That was just the AL.  Josh Bell leads all of baseball with 18.

Actually had the least EV, according to Baseball Savant....

Let's hope, but it's the first inning. Lets not count our poultry yet!

Arrarez' lead-off fly ball may have been hit harder, but still all three outs came on the two hardest-hit balls.

So what's the rule on jinxes? If I DO something that be construed as a jinx, but don't mention it here, is it still a jinx? 

There is a possibility that even discussing the terms of a jinx is also a jinx, so ?????     (?)

[rwilfong86]

Like the quick 1,2,3 inning there after getting the 3 runs.

For some reason the 3rd basemen for the Twins have had a habit of hitting into double plays. Donaldson was near the top last season ?

[BH67]

Single, double, two hit batters, error, three runs.  A toast to winning ugly...which is still winning.

Good to know.  I'll report back later.

But, that would be classified as hindsight.

This jinx discussion made me think of a Steven Wright quote too:  

"I broke a mirror in my house and I’m supposed to get seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five."  

[stringer bell]

Miggy has a decent batting average, but the power is gone. Still wouldn’t want to face him with the game on the line. 

[Jerr]

If you are listening to the Twins, you can also watch the Hall of fame with Kaat and Oliva going in.

And a foot fetish.

[rwilfong86]

Looks like Max is finished

[RickOShea]

we'll see Kepler in a couple of weeks

 

[stringer bell]

Broken toe?

Hopefully doesn't cost the team Kepler for any amount of time...

[RickOShea]

Remember the days when a catcher would actually split his finger, and would have the trainer tape it, and return to finish the game?

[kydoty]

Finding a way to get Sano back on the roster by tomorrow might’ve just got a lot easier for the front office.

[stringer bell]

We’ll have a whole new outfield I would guess. Kirilloff to right, Celestino to center and Gordon to left.

Only see stuff like that in hockey now.  Stitches and back in game.  Teeth knocked out and back in game.

[Mike Sixel]

What happened to Max?

[RickOShea]

Too gruesome to describe, Mike.

That would really suck

[RickOShea]

, who else would we have that consistently grounds out, into the shift?
