Keep watching the ball. 

Julien watches strike. Correa watches his almost.

The Julien caught looking thing is really getting old. 

I don't get it.

Surprised he's starting in AAA. I thought he might get a long rehab, almost a mini Spring Training.

Eh, I guess position players don't need that as much.

Speaking of "don't get it," Mrs Chief is really mad at me, and I'm at a loss as to what the big deal is. She blames me, I guess, for ruining her birthday last week. And I gotta say, that's a bit unfair. I mean, I didn't even remember it WAS her birthday.

Cheap Pohlands won't even pay for a bus to Cedar Rapids.

Yeah me neither. Does he believe that he, and only he, is the proper judge of the strike zone? What ever happened to fouling off/spoiling a close pitch just in case? There’s something broken there. 

[USAFChief]

Buxton sees zero strikes and still manages to swing and miss at three pitches.

[Patzky]

Awww Bux

[CRF]

Buck doing what he does best.

[Patzky]

Ober won't last long if he keeps using 30 pitches an inning. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Go Twins!

Probably not a bad thing, based on what we're seeing.

[Shaitan]

Force at every base. Now that's strategy.

[USAFChief]

Twins PA leader Willi Castro would be 4th on the Rangers. I guess they didn't get the memo that players need a day off every other series.

If Rocco does his usual "can't face the order the 3rd time" thing, he might not get through 3.

I take a couple days off every Monday thru Friday so I don't hurt myself on the weekends.

[Doctor Gast]

With 2 runners in scoring position, Buxton has to find a way to at least get a single. 

[Parfigliano]

Cant hit it more up the middle then that

Me too, and then I take the weekend off.

Half a billion should buy full time players, in my economy.

[Shaitan]

Is gameday's pitch location accurate? It seems like both pitchers are missing the zone, or throwing down the middle. Is it as windy at TF as it is in S Mpls? I'm curious how that affects pitchers.

[Patzky]

Vazquez sighting!

[Shaitan]

Wow, first double of the year. 

I'm more of a Vasquez supporter than most at TD, but that stat ain't good in late May.

[USAFChief]

VAZQUEZ GOT A HIT!!!!!!

 

Maybe it's true...you're likely to see something at a baseball game you've NEVER SEEN BEFORE.

 

[Doctor Gast]

That's how you do it! Good job Vazquez! Let's keep it going!

In a word, no.  And that's without looking at it.

The guy at the rail missing out on a ball to avoid an interference call.  Lol

Amazing too, that Bochy doesn't sit in the dugout with a crap-ton of spreadsheets in front of him on a little desk.
