Jeffers is channeling his inner Mauer tonight. 

And Wallner channeling his Fellow inner Minnesotan

[MMMordabito]

Huh, on Joe Mauer induction night, the catcher, the guy from Minnesota and the most piranha-esque player on the team are having the best night's so far.

[USAFChief]

119 Ks in 240 ABs for Gallo.

Not to do math or anything, but c'mon Joey! You can do it!!

[alexlegge]

Apparently this offense just needs a team Hall of Fame induction ceremony to get them going. I wonder if anyone saved the Knoblauch highlight reel from 2014...

[wabene]

Jeffers is looking good, the new approach is a much more complete hitter. Wallner is not just swinging for the fences either

Punto is right there in the stadium, no?

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

Look at the bright side,  he has to put the bat on the ball in order to hit into a double play.

Maeda has really given this team a lift since coming off the IL.

Getting healthy can help a guy. Let's hope for the same renaissance when Ryan comes back.

If anyone follows college sports, this is pretty funny

I think the likelihood of Cal and Stanford joining the Big Ten soon is high. So they will soon be the Pac-2.

My wife saw a bit from the internets where what is left of the Pac-12 will join the Mountain West Conference. The name after the merger will be Broke-Pac Mountain.

It's kind of like when a dog misbehaves: there's no bad dog, just a bad owner. Here, there's no bad math, just a bad mathematician.

[Jocko87]

Apparently Jose Ramirez has a good right hand too.  LOL

You hate to see it happen to a class act like Anderson...

[NotAboutWinning]

I always thought it was good of Joe Mauer and his wife to support the brand and have twins. Now Baldelli. Any other Twins have twins?

[stringer bell]

Jeffers OPS is now .900.

From the internets I found that Michael Cuddyer became the father of twins on 12/6/2011. However, I think he was officially a free agent at that point.
