Just some notes:

Last night, I was a guest on Travis Aune’s Minnesota Sports podcast. Darren “Doogie” Wolfson from KSTP was on before me discussing Wolves. Travis and I discussed Phillies series and Minor Leagues.
The podcast can be found here or
you can read Travis’s blog here.

Also, I am now writing at The Sports Radio.

Here is a recap of Monday in the Twins organization.

Rochester Rundown:

Rochester 2, Columbus 1 (10 Innings)

Clutch hitting and Ryan Mullins’ well-pitched seven-inning outing helped propel the Redwings to a thrilling ten-inning victory. Mullins pitched seven innings while allowing one earned on five hits while walking two. He had four strike outs.
Anthony Slama came in during the 8^th where he found himself in trouble, but still pitch two scoreless innings. Kyle Waldrop pitched a scoreless tenth and picked up the win. Dustin Martin had a productive game going 2-4 with a double and a home run. Martin also scored both of the Redwings runs. Jose Morales, who was DH, went 2-4 and drop in the game winning run. Allan De San Miguel who was ,called up in replace of inured catcher Wilson Ramos, went 0-3.

Rockcat Chronicle:

Of Day- Travel to Binghamton

Ft. Myers Flashback:

Game 1:

Ft. Myers 0, Palm Beach 1

The only story in this game is the phenomenal performance of the Aussie,
Liam Hendriks. Hendriks pitched 6.1 IP and gave up one unearned run while allowing eight hits. He struck out seven while walking none. The Miracle’s offense struggle with only two hits

Game 2:

Ft. Myers 1 , Palm Beach 12

The highly anticipated comeback of Bruce Pugh has a sour ending. Pugh was making his first start since coming off the DL with a strain in his elbow. Pugh 1.1 innings and gave up seven runs, but only three earned. A bright spot is that three of his four outs were strikeouts.  Nick Romero was 3-3 and knocked in the only run of the game.

Beloit Brief:

-All Star Break-

Coastal Check-up:

GCL Twins 8, GCL Orioles 4

The GL Twins opened up their 2010 season with a decisive win of the Orioles, but that is not the story of this game. All eyes were on Max Kepler as he made his debut on US soil. He played well, was 3-5 with a double and also knocking in three runners. Pedro Guerra, also making his US debut, pitched five one-hit innings. Wander Guillen went 2-4 playing third base.
