Too much plate.

Rare poor night for Akin...suddenly...the Twins have some life..

Wearing #42 must have made him uncomfortable.

I am worried about Cano. Has his reliever star sign shifted unfavorably?

Hitters just look down the whole time.  I wish he would throw up in the zone occasionally.  I know he is a sinker ball guy but last year he mixed it up a little.

Cano eventually gets it together. Not exactly the recommendation for the late inning dude.

I am never going to trust Akin.

Just checking back in...how did Tate look?

I don't think so (I write as he gives up a 2-run double.)  He's still got the same surgical precision with his sinker.  If anything I think he misses a little too much in the zone, but his movement is good enough to make it work.  I wish he'd miss out of the zone instead of in it, he gives up some loud batted balls when he misses in the zone.

 

He needs to figure out how to make that slider work or drop it though.  It's basically a waste pitch.

There is a difference of opinion.

Iffy....he did hit 94 and several times hit 93 so maybe a good sign?

I thought seven runs would be enough.

Looks like Hyde is determined to burn through his bullpen in a  7-2 game.

Would you have kept Akin in longer? I sure would not

Baseball. Cowser hot as crap and now looks like he's never seen a changeup or breaking ball outside.

Cowser trading his batting helmet for a sombrero.
