Checked.  Still not an outfielder.

And he still finished his career as a 96 OPS+ hitter.

For the life of me, I’ll never understand why Weaver didn’t move him to DH. After ‘73

When you think about it, these players should be wearing armor. You see, they are playing a knight game.

Listen mister, we don't allow bad jokes around these parts.

[cHawk]

Did you know that a sausage once played baseball? He quit because he was the wurst on his team.

[OptimisticTwinsFan]

Gray is trash the third time through the order. He truly collapses no matter his pitch count.

[IndyTwinsFan]

AARGH!!

[RpR]

The Twins have 11 k to KC 5, is the strike zone as odd for KC as Minn. or are the twins chasing Will-O'- the - Wisp pitches?

You must’ve seen your reflection in his armor

It's happening here, too.

Max doesn’t have the same intensity in the field. I no longer think he is an elite fielder.

That ball went over Kepler's head.

If Wallner's out in RF, would we have said he played bad defense and should have caught that one.

Low balls called strikes.  Way to many low inside pitches swung at and missed for strike 3

[USAFChief]

That ball to right was drilled and I doubt any RFer catches it.

 but its all about hitting, defense skill does not matter.

I present Pedro Florimon, Nick Punto and Mike Gallego.

[PDX Twin]

Sonny had to figure out a way not to get a win. Couldn't trust the bullpen to blow the lead because of his low pitch count.

[LewFordLives]

Pagan warming up. Another winnable game on the verge of slipping away.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Sonny Gray being Sonny Gray, again.  Cruises through five and completely falls apart in the sixth.

Double AARGH!

Agreed.

If the gents who have hit the ball continue and the other five join in the Twins can still win.

[USAFChief]

Heh. Polanco might need a relay to get the ball to 1st.

Its a problem compound by the "lets not make contact" offense.

Exactly!
