Stone talking about how well he has acclimated leading to more DH time for Eloy gives me hope the FA feels the same.  

They do from all accounts 

Yoan smoked that

another hard hit vaughn ball, another just missed it

Oh man....so close.

Thought that was way out

Wow AV just missed it. I thought he had it off the bat. 

AV just missed.  Damn.  

That looked way gone off the bat

Hahah Sano sucks 

lol sano the fat slug.

Don’t see a ball hit like that stay in the park during the summer months usually.

Even though Vaughn technically has been slumping, there's been a lot of hard hit outs. He's making a lot of progress vs RHP.

I mean, I love it and all but......how does Minnesota keep playing Sano at first? I guess there is no where else to play him, with Cruz, but....sheesh.

I think Vaughn got that off the bad part of the bat. That was only 95 off the bat.

Sloth would also have the same alliterative effect…

Burger has no chance right now vs good sliders from a righty.

Burger is really struggling with the slider

Thats a nasty pitch for a guy with little pro baseball experience to handle

I don't understand Sheets not playing vs a fastball/slider guy like Pineda.

I got Burger hitting a ball hard off Pineda in his next couple ABs

Third was also a failure, think they might have tried the corners, too.  A lot like Viciedo, in that sense.

Needs to be hunting the fastball earlier in the count

It's not a knock on Burger, but he isn't ready for big league caliber sliders. He needs more development time which is to be expected.

Probably Burger’s last game before Eloy returns

Wanted to get Hamilton in the lineup I guess…Goodwin also sitting.
