By the time stamp on your post, it looks like you wrote this after Bauer had already given up a couple homers.

Twins game 2-1 going to the bottom of the 8th. McCallister gives up a home run, 3-1. Twins get a runner to 3rd, one out and it is a sucide squeeze. Play at plate, not a chance. McCallister fields and doesn't throw to 1st. Why? Because he didn't know the rule about a batter runner running completely in fair territory. If he hits the runner in the back, the batter is out and the runner has to go back to 3rd. Most of high school games the defense gets this play more often than not. Btw, Manning doesn't know the full rule. He kept saying that at least we would get an out at 1st.

The continued success of Carrasco and Salazar is huge for this team going into the offseason. Another good one by Kluber as well.

Bauer obviously needs more consistency but has that potential at #4.

Great outing by Salazar last night!

Wow. I can't remember the last time Kluber has given up back to back home runs twice in one game....if it has ever happened.

When was the last time he gave up 4 home runs in a game period?
