harrison looked pretty good on that play.

Benetti carrying water for Harrison 

I don't know if Kopech is tipping off-speed, but Tampa isn't even thinking of offering at anything that isn't a fastball.

What I don’t get is they didn’t get lefty power in the offseason because they had the great Gavin Sheets.  Now they’re facing a RHP and Sheets isn’t playing. I don’t need to see Grandal at DH when he’s slumping. It’s just ridiculous to see these mediocre bottom of the lineups so much already.

The name is Tony. Tony LaRussa.

123 3rd for Kopech!

Kopech pitch count coming inline with innings now.

50 in 3 innings?  ummmm    no.

Kluber is a junkballer at this point of his career and he's dominating the Sox. 

I went to a Sox game in MN last year and discovered Leury is beloved with Twins fans. It was the same game the Sox blew them out and Yermin blasted one in the 9th off Astudillo.  TLR shifted Leury from LF to 2B late in the game, and every fan in the left field seats started chanting "We Want Leury!" Mind you, I was sitting by the dugout. The new left fielder just looked back at them and threw his hands up (Engel I think?) Then when Leury came up to hit, they all started the MVP chant, he hit a single, there was about 5 seconds of silence, and the whole outfield erupted in applause. Leury bowed and waved. They all started chanting "Leury! Leury! Leury!" for the rest of the inning. It was the greatest thing I've ever witnessed on a baseball field. Leury is a legend in Minneapolis.

I think this team really needs to learn how to hit RHP.

Vaughn hit the ball hard.

It's a legitimate problem. 

Great play by Harrison 

Nice play Josh Harrison!

another good play by harrison

I'm surprised with Kopech's inability to miss bats so far.

Kopech has settled down nicely the last couple innings

wtf are you talking about?

 

I have to say Josh Harrison is a very likeable player and an easy guy to root for.  Too bad we got him when he's old.  He's great for the Leury Garcia role on this team but unfortunately they also still have Leury for three years.
