Sano's blast last night should count as 2 home runs. He hit it so hard that there were 3 sailors in uniform chasing the ball to keep it from rolling off the yard arm, off the ship and into the ocean.
I went to Fenway once and it was a bandbox...but oh the history. The Sox do have a loyal fan base. I hope that Red Sox Nation gets to see some Twin Bombas fly over the Green Monster tonight.
Sorry to be picky...but the word is "re-sign" when referring to a pitcher signing a new contract. It is the choice of a person holding an elected office as to whether to "resign" the position and leave his/her office or to stay in office. It is a common mistake and maybe many of you feel it is moot (not mute), Go Twins.
Moises Gomez is a name to watch. I met him last year at Elizabethton. A friendly young man. Before the game he was swinging a plastic bat and hitting plastic balls into a booth designed for the fans to smack some plastic balls into he booth. I asked if he was a SS? I thought he was someone else. He smiled and said, "No, I pitch today." Now he is in high A and has been selected by the Twins to go to the Arizona Fall League. Good luck Moises.
I would go with a 12 man pitching staff. There are rest days in the playoffs. I would want all three of Cave, Arraez, and Adrianza. By the end of September, the IL may take someone currently on the Twins active roster. I hope not, but it is a possibility.
I enjoyed reading this edition of Blue Wahoo Bites so much...that I read it again twice just to make me feel better. I was feeling depressed after having read about the Twinkies "not very pretty" loss last night. I'm better now, thank you.
