I've noticed that the Twins still don't do a very good job of moving from 1st to 3rd like our opponents do.  I don't believe it all to be that we are just slow.  I think it comes down to hit recognition.  Too many of our hitters are not recognizing a hit dropping off of the bat and hold up to make sure the hit comes through and they lose that opportunity to take the extra base.  Just now, had Clemens moved from 1st to 3rd on the Bell hit, he could have scored on that wild pitch.

We need a second base coach.

I believe that decision is typically up to the runner to make the decision.  If you looked at the replay just now, Bell saunters over to third.  Now I wouldn't expect Bell to score from 2nd, but not hustling over there to see if there is a bad throw is just terrible base running.

Gray is coming back around soon...

Are you trying to jinx it and give us a triple play?

Wild send.  Nice slide. Tough throw. Good run.

Takes a player with Martin's speed to make that play, but agreed good slide.
