Barring a miracle, the Twins should win this one.  So everyone have a good evening, and we'll see you tomorrow.

Molitor, when quizzed about why no bunting skills:...: "As I travel around our minor league camps, batters don't even begin their batting practice with a couple of bunts the way we always used to."

He also mentioned the stress on analytics and the HR chase. You could get an earful from him about this.

Hitting is fundamental.

Hitting is FUNdamental.

One thing about this squad is it doesn't matter who they are playing. The only time they looked over-matched was against Tampa

[Dave Borton]

17 Ks w/9 runs. Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio.

Molitor is right. I have been told the same thing by others concerning professional baseball players and their preparation and approach to hitting. It is a mistake and will change back. Teams are already making changes.

BTW, the Twins hit big home runs today (good), but 17 K's (bad). Hoping to see more consistent hard contact with extra base hits while mixing in the appropriate stolen base and bunt.

An a unicorn. We want a unicorn. (It seems like everything is working today.)

[wabene]

Sux lose, two game win streak against a tough team, not bad. 

[mrtwinsfan]

George Sprung a Leak

[Parfigliano]

Down 3-0 to win 9-3.  More please.

[jkcarew]

It’s a turning point.

Or it gives us another 3 games to do nothing and maintain our ‘average’ offensive ranking.

Stay tuned…same bat time (almost)…same bat channel.

[CRF]

Nice!  Too bad we couldn't get some of those runs for Ryan when he was in there, but all that matters is we got the win!

[wabene]

Ssssssssssssssssssss!

Ah, that was Carlos

[wabene]

Carlos has got to be relieved. He's gotta turn it around now, eh? Go on a roll Carlos
