Royce Lewis will start his rehab assignment in StP tomorrow.

Certainly they'll get better hitting lefties by watching other players try to do so.

Helluva outing by Lopez today.  Taking full advantage of the run support handed him.  Good baseball right there.

New experiences can be confusing!

And rather traumatic for those like Gallo who rarely see a base up close when not on defense.

Headrick got the memo.

Now whomever pitches the 9th needs to get the same memo.

If they make that bionic sound, that's a pretty good indicator.

What is considered elite speed in MLB?
 
 
30 ft/sec
 
The Major League average on a "competitive" play is 27 ft/sec, and the competitive range is roughly from 23 ft/sec (poor) to 30 ft/sec (elite). A Bolt is any run above 30ft/sec.

Position  player pitching  for Detroit ...

If the Twins ever get blown out ( it could happen ) , wallner might be the position player pitching , he pitched in college  and has the arm for it  ....

Hope he isn’t hurt either…. but he has not done enough yet to stare down any pitcher …… 

just go to first and act like you have been there before 

seems like he just caught the Buxton flu

Prior pitch almost hit him in the foot also,  Tough crowd !

Sees his opportunity/ticket to the MLB Life.

Keep throwing strikes. Especially when your handed the ball leading by 8

Wallner will suprise whoever when he's pumping it up there at 97

I understand, but 3:40 rather than 4:40?

Game started at 6:40 EST.

As Twins coast, a general baseball question.  What is elite baseball speed?   In the NFL. the fastest run about a 4.25 40 (Randy Moss).  What would the fastest baseball players run?

For another comp, Usain Bolt ran 4.22 just messing around and has been clocked at 37 fps in competition.
