1. Well, left home around 2 yesterday and staying with my bro in St. Croix Falls. Should be pulling into Chitown around 3 or 4 today. Hope the boys save some Bombas for Sunday.

2. Next on the hit HR parade: 2016 Twins

   • HR leaders: Dozier 42 (t3), Sano 25, Kepler 17, Plouffe 12, Park 12, Nunez 12, Mauer 11, Grossman 11, Buxton 10, Rosario 10, Vargas 10 -- yep, eleven with double digits
   • Grand Slams: Buxton 1, Kepler 1 (Kep had 20 GS opportunities)
   • inside the park HR: Buxton 1, Nunez 1
   • PH HR: Rosario 2, Vargas 1, Suzuki 1
   • RH/LH pitchers: 146/54 -- RH: Dozier 31, Sano 19, Kepler 15; LH: Dozier 11, Sano 6, Grossman 6
   • home/road: 98/102 -- everyone was pretty close to even except for Grossman (8 of 11 home), Park (8 of 12 home), and Mauer (8 of 11 away)

   1. Park had 12. Wow. I did not expect that number to be so high. That was in just 62 games, too. I was really hoping he was going to work as a hitter in the bigs.

      1. Not gonna lie, I completely forgot about him.

      2. I still think he was screwed over, first by complying with unwritten rules and, debateably more impactfully, by coming over to a clubhouse that was all "play through injury" oriented. That hand injury really made his numbers drop.

         1. He had some serious distance on those HRs, too

         2. I really wonder what this coaching staff could have done with Park and Arcia. They both had a lot of talent that was waiting to be unlocked.

3. I put the poll up for 1981.

4. I feel like the Red Sox owe the Twins a clubhouse gift.

   1. for wearing out the Yankee relievers? I agree.

      1. Exactly for that reason.

   2. The A's got beat up after leaving Target field too, right?

      1. They did - lost 2 of 3 against the 'Stros, including a 11-1 beat down the first game of their series in Houston.

   3. Baseball Reference shows the Twins with a cake walk based on remaining strength of schedule -- Indians predicted to be 7 games back

5. I got Kepler tonight.

   1. I'm taking the Boomstick. His wrist didn't seem to bother him last night.

   2. Rosario AND the Buxton

   3. Edd-dee

   4. Rosie!

   5. Rosario for me.

   6. I have Kepler as well.

   7. I already predicted Rosario on the first pitch tonight against Cease.

      The @Twins have hit a major league leading 199 home runs.

      Who will hit #200?

      Guess the hitter, opposing pitcher and count and you could win a signed baseball!#MNTwins

   8. Eddie and Sano

6. Submitting my picks from downtown Chicago. Castro and Rosario. Also, who knew it would take 90 minutes to drive the last 15 miles. #weirddetours, #narrowstreets.

   1. Kepler and Rosario
