Gardy also wanted Gomez gone despite being great in centerfield because he refused quit swinging for the fences and play small ball. Perhaps why the Twins brass lets Buxton keep swinging and flailing away.
Donnie Barrels swinging at a ball a foot outside and then a foot inside. No favoritism from him today.
Buxton with the big hole in his swing on the low/inside pitch. Same old same old.
I thought they were going to change after the 'infamous' player only meeting?
I can't wait to see Pagan close out tomorrows victory!!
Good for Rocco, about time he tries to light a fire under the rosters ass. As a team they look like they are grinding out the dog days of summer, not June and atop of the division.
I attended the Kernels game tonight (June 23).
They looked hungover. Made 3 errors(if there was an honest scorekeeper) many bad at bats and poor pitching. A couple of homers was the only highlight. Marco Raya gave up a ton of hard hit balls and the following pitchers did not impress. Miller had a couple of decent plays at shortstop and has really nice hair. They scored 5 runs after the game was out of hand to make the score much closer than the game felt.
This review written by someone that has a hard time following the batted ball........
Thi sounds like a Matthew Berry cherry picked stat to show that Kirt Cousins is better than Patrick Maholmes.
I will say I think in this era of short start/long relief innings who starts is not as big a deal as it was a few years ago. Pinch hitting is very prevalent in todays game.
Has anyone else noticed that Lewis like to double tap the ball in his glove before throwing the ball to first base? Jason Bartlett did the same thing when he was first called up to the big leagues.
