I would have left Ober in

Yeah, he's not a centerfielder.

That's really all my point was. It was painful watching him gather in that popup. But corner OF defense isn't usually what makes or breaks a team, unless it's really off the charts.

I can only think of one player that made a difference playing a corner OF position.  That was Yaz, playing the Green Monster like a master.

Oh, and I suppose you would have left Joe Ryan in 2 starts ago?  Oh yeah, good call. lol

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Almost there...

 

Stay on target.

Royce down for awhile ??   Miranda warning ??

[Danchat]

Crazy how Cano looks unhittable now. He did always have great numbers in the minors…

If it's Miranda coming up, it should be do or die, before the deadline.

[MABB1959]

Fairly to extremely confident in Duran.  Cross your fingers

[stringer bell]

I want Kirilloff hitting in the tenth against Canó or Bautista if it comes to that. 

[cHawk]

That was a well-executed bunt.

[stringer bell]

Safe, I think.

[Schmoeman5]

Safe

[cHawk]

He looks safe to me.

[Danchat]

Safe

[rwilfong86]

Kepler may have just saved the game

[Danchat]

Incredible catch, Max!!!!

[cHawk]

[stringer bell]

Twins did everything right. Mateo just got in there.

[stringer bell]

Maybe Kepler has some value.

[ashbury]

Game saving play by Max.

I'm not even convinced that ball would have landed foul.

[wabene]

Gotta give it to herr Kepler, nice catch!!

[Aggies7]

Baseball is a crazy game, man

Foul ball, I think.. But an important out. 

It the runner had been standing on the base, he might have scored.

Me neither.

 

Winnah!

[notoriousgod71]

Kepler with a Tom brunansky (red Sox version) catch in the corner to clinch the division.

[stringer bell]

Outstanding pitching!! 

[wabene]

YES BABY!

[ashbury]

Every Twins batter except Gallo: "It's a team sport. Hey, we won, didn't we?"

No guarantee it would have landed foul, stranger things have happened
