Uffda. Martin pretty clearly called Julien off, and Martin just isn't a center fielder.

Concur

[UpstateNewYorker]

Routine out. 😄

[USAFChief]

Who had 5-6 lineout on their Twingo card??

[RpR]

AH, the old deflection trick.

[MMMordabito]

C'mon, Pablo.  Stop Picassoing around.  You're up 5-0.

[USAFChief]

And it costs a run, of course.

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Earned run or error?

They scored that a "double," so earned run.

Official scoring has become a joke.

Earned.  Shows Haniger Double on Gameday.

[Doctor Gast]

I was wrong I thought it'd be a close game.

[SS MagicMark]

Miranda with a 60 foot single and an assist on a lineout. One he can tell the grandkids about someday. 

[Road trip]

I dunno, Martin had to dive to get a glove on it.  Not sure I've ever seen that scored an error.

Now he may have gotten a poor jump... that I don't know.

[RpR]

In the past, the Twins have bombed top line pitchers early on and still lost, but not today.

[Schmoeman5]

Pablo had to work a little harder than needed. Go get some more runs

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Jeffers is just that dude

[MMMordabito]

I knew Jeffers wasn't going to be left out!

[Schmoeman5]

Jeffers stays hot.  Nice

[USAFChief]

wow. Jeffers. Line drive no less.

Loved what Royce said about the streak, guys hitting line drives that happen to go out, like Jeffers just did. 

[nicksaviking]

Jeffers 1.014 OPS is currently fourth in the entire league.

But not THE dude.

Just about time for me to do my daily exercises. I do a cross between a "lunge" and a "Crunch."

I call it..."lunch."

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Boys are doing everything they can to make Pablo's day harder, it seems

[MN_ExPat]

Nice job on crossing up Julio there

[MMMordabito]

I should be happy that Pablo struck out the side, but I see that pitch count.  It's almost like he's competing against Baldelli at times.

That'll happen when every postion on the field other than first base has a better defender on another part of the field, DHing or on the bench.

Be sure to stretch properly before any strenuous activity!
