The Minnesota "Twins," Florimon and Escobar, a utility infielder's delight.
The offense is fine.
LOLOLOLWTF?
A "triple."
Triple...it hit Dirks right in the palm of his glove.
Triple.
It's not like he was running full speed either, he was slowly drifting back.Quote:

Tagging home plate on a wild pitch should result in an out.

Tigers' announcers still lamenting the "wind blown triple".
Mauer with a real triple
Dang Joe Mauer is a good baseball player!!
That's all I got, I'm out.
Well said. This is shaping up to be a great day for Mauer. Let's hope that he plays in the nightcap.Quote:

Mauer is definitely picking up the pace in the BA race and I really am pulling for him to win it, but I do have some mixed emotions about the situation.
In my lifetime I have never witnessed a Triple Crown take place. It would be excellent to see something rare and historical happen in this 2012 season.
I am leaning towards a first time 4-time batting champion catcher (I say this knowing that their is a chance some might bust my balls for proclaiming Mauer a Catcher).
I've never seen a triple crown either but if Mauer manages to win five batting titles, he's pretty much a lock for the Hall. Therefore, I'm cheering for Joe to win the title.Quote:

Agreed, but 4 might do it.Quote:

It probably depends on how long he stays a catcher
I think it happens. I feel in my baseball bones that he has another blockbuster season left in his tank to go along with a handful of excellent seasons. .350+BA, 15-20HR's, 90+RBI'sQuote:
