Did anyone notice? The person who caught the ball was holding a baby in the left arm while making the catch with the right hand.

Somebody call social services

Not that I'm shocked by this, but no Kirilloff and/or Julien makes me a sad panda.

Little known rule in the new CBA...vets aren't subject to poor platoon splits, even if they're poor hitters, but young, hopeful future core lefties literally can't bat against same handed pitchers. The Twins stood alone in the fight, but they wouldn't let that lockout end until they got that rule in there.

Okay, we should note that Kepler has been out of the lineup vs. LH pitching recently and that he’s currently swinging better than AK. I don’t like it either and hope both guys get early pinch hits and then deliver against a lefty reliever.

Also not unexpected, sadly.

Eh, Kepler's recent 3 game success isn't enough to make me prefer him over AK in any situation. AK has looked a little off lately so I don't really mind him getting a day off to regroup, but I'm not going to be happy with Kepler in the lineup anytime soon. The Twins obsession with Kepler, and pinch hitting for their young guys instead of him, will never make sense to me, and I'll mock it until they finally move on from Kep.

I stand by my opinion that Kep starting in RF was a fine play.

Wait, the person who caught the ball had 3 hands? That hardly seems fair 🤣

Rare to be seen at baseball game. Normally seen at hockey games in Detroit. 

[mnfireman]

Anybody watching that can explain why Rocco got ejected??

It's good that they're finally being encouraged to participate in as many sports as possible.

[CRF]

Where has this Kepler been? I'll change my tune and love the guy if he keeps going yard every game. 

[wabene]

This is how a pitcher like Wentz should be treated

Too much batching about Kepler in the lineup.
