Snap. He needed to keep that down

Twins know how to beat the shift

Dunning continues to not keep the ball down

It's frustrating when Dane makes pitches like that... wish he would do that more.

IMO it really isn't all that hard to defeat the shift. The problem is with hitters not having enough bat control - either that or their egos - to take an easy single, or perhaps a double to counter act the shift.....I've often wondered how many times a hitter would have to do this in order for the opposition to stop using the shift against them?

If talking about Buxton strikeout. That was great. His curve that sweeps down and away is good to. He is inconsistent

 

[Kelleyman]

Smith delivers the goods

 

[DTC]

That was a professional hit.
Didn’t try to rip it with 2 strikes Gunning for a grandslam. He shortened his swing and put the ball in play. 3 rbi. Love it

I think Jose was helped by going to NY as much as Joey was hurt by it.

Now they get Moore up.

not a good day for Dane

Dunning was terrible. Left him in to long.

That right there is the bat control I was eluding too previously. Perfect!

I totally agree with you on the Jose front, but I wonder about the Joey one.......Joey is Joey's worst enemy regardless of where he is. But I do not discount the pressure of being in pinstrips does for him.
