Ohtani bomb! 6-1

116 win Mariners had a +300 run differential. Sox are on pace for +296 a quarter of the way into the season if the current score holds.

And the 2016 Cubs that everyone gushed about had a +252.

The Big Sho does it again.

Why do we have Mendick AND Hamilton bunting hitting back to back... Mendick has more power than the guy that just hit the HR.... Hamilton went 4-4 off this pitcher last week. Happ is struggling with pitch count. There's nobody on base and we are up three. I'm not as adamantly anti-bunting as everyone else in sabermetric baseball (the Eaton bunt didn't thrill me but didn't make me scream at the TV in the ninth inning either)

Like actually this is maybe the most confusing TLR move yet 

Just so u know in case no one told u. TLR is not calling for those guys to bunt. With no one on and no outs they do whatever they want to.

The Twins reddit board is hysterical.

holy fuck 116 mph off the bat

Is Vaughn going to end up playing every position?

I like them giving Vaughn a few innings in RF. Might be a long term fit for him?

Vaughn with a GREAT play in RF!

VAUGHN IN RF THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Vaughn played that well. Almost threw out Larnach too.

Love it. Play him and see if he can stick. Then Eloy comes back and plays LF.

Vaughn. Ball player. 

I think maybe Vaughn has the arm for RF

Is the same guy who said Collins couldn't catch the same guy who said Vaughn could only play 1B.

Thank god Grandal is at 1B. Lamb probably makes that an adventure.

That was a laser. Really should have had him out! 

Ok I'm sold. Vaughn for RF.

Vaughn looks like a natural out there on 2 plays. I'm sold, stick him in RF when Eloy comes back.

Vaughn already looks like a RF ???

That was a smooth play off the bat of Astudillio

Vaughn is gonna make so much bank. He's been great in the OF with almost no prep time before opening day. absolutely nuts

Was dubious about playing him at 3B, but that might even work if we didn't already have Mendick, L.Garcia and Burger, haha.

Who needs Carlos Sanchez?  ONLY GATORADE/General Mills or Quaker Oats!!!
