Lots of good news in the farm system today at least.

I think Balta explained it at one point. Like he was only 1 of 2 who qualified or something like that.

Haul doesn't seem like the right word. He'd have to be very good to just get a nice return. He's pitching well now but a long way to go till the TDL and plenty of good teams he'll be facing.

You know bad umpiring isn't all on the catcher. Maldonado while batting took a 1st pitch strike that looked 6 or more inches off the plate. That was a pitch that framing had nothing to do with as are many bad balls and strike calls. Sticking up for bad umpiring is ludicrous . All the bad umpiring scorecards aren't dependent on how a catcher frames it, only on bad calls. If an ump needs a catcher to frame it properly to call a strike then they are worthless.

LOL I was just thinking BBB .. Byron Buxton Bomb upcoming.

Back to a 1 run game.

Benetendi. That's amore !

When you're 3-19 you don't expect to win this game.

Maldonado is bad enough without the ump starting him off with a strike on a pitch that might have been the worst strike call of the year, of which there have been plenty.

Vaughn has a bit of a hitch in his swing. Hands still in one spot then pulls then back before he swings.

12 , 8 of 11 and tied career high with 10 K.

11 in a row by Fedde, 7 of the last 10 by K. 9 K now ,1 behind his career high.

That's Fedduccine to you Mr. Spaghetti !

The Twins announcer even said "Twins catch another break."

Wasn't close ump !!
