Seems a lot of right handed enemy hitters beat the shift with ground balls that would be outs in a normal straight away position.

That was a few enough pitches that you can have Hudson at least start the 2nd.

There we go Sam. Feels like that's the only way Sam has been able to get extra base hits recently.

Tailor made double play ball

crazy how the Twins offense has gotten so much better in 12 months...Bell has made a big difference

Lee and Keaschall much more dangerous too

Sammy!!

Those were some terrible swings from Miguel.

looks like the OF bleachers are almost full

Moonshot time!

Terrible AB by Miggy

just don't have the situational hitting mindset to move runners into scoring position

everyone swinging for fences

Wasted a double. Miguel had to at least move the runner there.

Disgraceful

I hate this offense man, 3 guys go up trying to hit it to the Dan Ryan when you just need a fucking base hit, infuriating

Yup, so frustrating

And that's why they leave so many runners on base, instead of just manufacturing runs, they're going for the fences all the effing time

this org hasn't had that mindset since probably 2008

also starting to feel the pressure bearing down with three weeks to go

offense feels they have to put up big crooked numbers to carry the pitching staff

Bell could not see Hudson at all.

Ober is gonna carve these guys up all day unless they wake the f*** up

Don't bring hicks in

They don't see him well to begin with. The poor visibility just makes it worse.

which version of Hicks do they get next up?

FFS. We gonna waste hicks for a batter?

The mindset has to change, you’re not going to hit a homer every time up, when you have a chance to take a lead you play a little small ball. Vargas needed to move the runner over, he didn’t and it changed everything.
