Didn't think Ober would have A quality start in the first.  The Twins MVP through 6 is Seattle 3rd base coach.  If he doesn't send those 2 runners Ober probably doesn't  make it out of the 1st inning.  

He registered a QS and his night was over.

 

/ wait, I'm being told that I misspelled something.

He should score there 100 times out of 100.

I'm not convinced he would have been safe.  But I'm convinced he should make the attempt 100 out of 100 times, given where the ball was when he reached third and the number of outs.

Quality start.  Dick said so.

5 runs in 6 innings isn't a QS, 100 out of 100 times.  But somehow 2 of the runs got erased.  :)

Julien fans waving the french bread?

Hahaha. I know, right? 

What the heck WAS that?

Watkins has sent more than one runner home to a catcher waiting with the ball.

Which is not by itself a bad thing.  Two outs, what is the better chance of scoring, 30% that the next batter doesn't make an out, or (depending on a lot of factors) 50/50 to make the defense make the play?  Game situation (down 2 in the bottom of the ninth, say) also affects the instant calculation the coach must make.

Watched it again, my bad. He pulled up while Watkins was waving him home. Kep's head must still be in Paris....

I heard Gladden interview Kepler either this spring training, or last year before spring training. 

Gladden asked Kepler what he did over the offseason. 

Kepler said, and I’m not exaggerating by much: “hit some beaches, did some hiking, some zip lining, maybe a couple parties, basically tried to keep it chill.” 

That kicker though: doing those things was laying low compared to other offseasons 🙂

Buxton sure had an outstanding nite as compared to most, this season.

He should repeat it

Pretty powerful production, plausibly.
