You told him to throw it down the middle. He did 

I also said to let him get himself out!

Lots of good approaches and hitting it where it was supposed to go. Hoping it's the dam bursting.

Kepler getting two at bats as an 8th inning pinch hitter is nice

Why?

I infer the niceness comes from the implication we batted around to get him the second at bat?

 

Batting around is something this offense could use more of.

While we got two touchdowns and a field goal.   Very nice to see the offense expload.

[SwainZag]

Never a doubt!

Who are these guys?

[Schmoeman5]

So Twins beat writer had positive things to say about Rocco yesterday regarding pulling Varland saying that it wasn't a pitch count thing but a 3rd time through the order. Today he's defending the Thielbar move even though in the post game press conference. He basically said that Thielbar is "going through a tough stretch" So other players have to get reset in St. Paul. But Caleb will endeavor to persevere in actual games that count. Makes sense to me.

Because we batted around, and his first at-bat of the day was a K. Not often that a last inning pinch hitter gets two bites at the apple. 

[Patzky]

To think it all began with a Manny Margot bunt single..

When MLB Hitters get to Tee Off on Minor Leaguers Batting Practice today you score 17.  Maybe, just maybe some these guys will continue to wake up and keep it rolling over the weekend
