    Correct. I was there. My brother was watching the game and he said that there wasn't anyone concerned about the injury at all.

    I'd rather see Fuld on the bench, with Santana in center, Nunez at third, and Escobar at short. Unfortunately, Fuld didn't get arm surgery while he was out with a concussion.

    There is some value to have someone pinch run, if Gardy could ever get the situation right.

    Mauer didn't drop the popup, but should have made the catch.

    Including Fuld's poor throw, I counted five bad plays for the Twins' outfield. 1) Arcia lost V-Mart's first inning drive in the sun. 2) Willingham played a ball in the corner into a triple 3)Arcia took extra steps and still made a poor throw to the plate on the resulting sac fly. 4) Arcia dropping the ball on the warning track 5) Fuld's poor throw on the game-winning fly ball.

    With the injuries to Nuñez and Plouffe, Danny Santana will probably be starting at shortstop most of the time going forward. I heard Gladden discussing the situation and he made it sound like whether there were injuries or not, that Fuld would be the regular center fielder while Santana would get occasional starts there and also play shortstop. I don't know if this is information from the club or Gladden speculating. I hope it was just him speculating, because Fuld is a fourth OF and he shouldn't be getting full-time at-bats. This scenario also limits Escobar's playing time and I, for one, think Eduardo has earned the shortstop job, for now. Out of necessity, he has played at other positions the last four games, but when Nuñez returns I would hope he plays third and Escobar can go back to shortstop, where he has played very well. We all are assuming that Escobar's BA will fall below .300 (I do too), but I'm predicting that Santana's BA will fall below .300 before Escobar. BTW, Escobar's OPS is higher than Santana's and EE has almost 200 plate appearances. Pretty soon we are going to quit comparing Escobar's start to Colabello or that way Escobar started off last year. I believe he already has more plate appearances than he had all of last year.

    Good news! A half season of games, split between FtM and NB, and then the Fall League. Maybe he'll make it to Minnesota in 2015, as I've expected all year. The big thing is to have any hope of reaching the timetable I just laid out, Buxton can't miss any more time with injury.

    Phil Miller's postgame commentary sounds pretty hopeful for Nuñez--sounds like he'll be ready in a game or two, at most. Also, the injury to Plouffe wouldn't be as long-lasting as an oblique injury. There would be a chance that he could return in two weeks.

    Send Burton out for the seventh?
  10. stringer bell
    Congrats! That has to help all your joints.
  11. stringer bell
    Burton does the job!
  12. stringer bell
    Gotta love blue eye black.
  13. stringer bell
    What could go wrong here?
  14. stringer bell
    Not what you want to see after a three-run inning.
  15. stringer bell
    Swung at ball 4.
  16. stringer bell
    Great start to the inning.
  17. stringer bell
    Which DH in this game wins a foot race?
  18. stringer bell
    Back to baseball. Huge inning for Nolasco coming up.
  19. stringer bell
    Wow! Just wow!
  20. stringer bell
    Sky Rockets in Flight. Afternoon Delight.
  21. stringer bell
    Hey, I was there standing on a corner.
  22. stringer bell
    I spent a lot of time in my youth at Bair's Den, which supposedly catered to the unsavory element. They served beer and had pool and snooker tables.
  23. stringer bell
    Nolasco looks like a totally different pitcher.
  24. stringer bell
    Hmm, I've never seen a butcher work out of a cooler.
  25. stringer bell
    What's Gardy doing in the stands?
