Hey, Correa's not leading off.......

[stringer bell]

Correa is in an 0-15 funk, now hitting cleanup.  Hmmm. Past time for C-4 to blast.

[Schmoeman5]

Happy Joe Mauer day. May the force be with Maeda and let's score more that the Serpents

[mrtwinsfan]

Oh Oh , Carlos in the 4 -hole,   Sure hope it helps,  at least at Leadoff,  no Double play ,  Go Twins

[wsnydes]

I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate Joe Mauer on his Twins HoF induction today!  I always enjoyed watching him play.

Congratulations, Joe!

[Squirrel]

I love these highlights

[Robert Floren]

My goodness, the Mauer tribute wraps up.

I always do when I see that clip of him coming out for the last time and he’s in his catching gear

[mrtwinsfan]

Leadoff hit,    and away we go

[USAFChief]

On pace for 18 Ks.

Polanco ---Kepler-  Buxton,  Did Mauer  play with any other present Twins, ??

Same.  It does bring me back to how fun that game was to be at though.  The only reason I went was because I believed it was going to be his last.

After last night's inability on Dick's part to figure out the CWS at Cleveland score he said he was not going to report it during this game. So I will. CWS 3 @ Cle 0, end of 4.

And 13.5 K's now. 😄 

[ziggy]

Maeda has his stuff working tonight.

 

 

[stringer bell]

Jeffers on a really good offensive run. He’s 0-2 throwing out base stealers, but Maeda really gave him no chance.

Well, yeah, but only cause we prolly won't get to bat in the bottom of the 9th. 

[Dave Borton]

Have a bet w/my sister-in-law in Arizona on the series.

Loser sends $25 to winner's fave charity.

Go Twins

Jeffers en fuego

Edit: Gallo not

Idk. That over looks awful tempting.

[rwilfong86]

Jeffers is channeling his inner Mauer tonight.

Time to get him a first baseman’s mitt?

[OvertheHill]

How much more Gallo needs to be inflicted on us????

[Nine of twelve]

I think it's time to adjust the catching rotation. Jeffers starts two of every three games instead of alternating one and one.

That means Vazquez catching more? Not sure if that's the best plan.
