The history on Justin is that it takes him a while to find his groove when out for any period of time. He has a long stroke and stride, and timing takes some time.

Was at the game today. Twins looked good and Justin looked great. I was sitting behind the on deck circle and Justin looked very relaxed when warming up. His at bats were solid. Even the outs were long balls. Hopefully this is something to build on. Can't wait for Nishi to get back so that Casilla can sit down. His best play was running out a double play grounder to be safe at first! Also was not pleased with Plouffe's fielding. Missed a sharp one hopper, bobbled another, and made three poor throws to first. But his 3 run dinger was great!

Justin is this team's leader. He is the antithesis of Joe Mauer. He gives everything he has.

Justin will be the comeback player of the Year. Plouffe doesnt take his fielding to the plate which is a sign of more maturity. So far his fielding hasnt cost the Twins, hope he can improve his Glove. It sure is nice to see some Pop back in the SS bat. Three in a row is a relief.... Good Bye Harm.. thanks for the memories.

Gotta respect Morneau for staying in the line-up instead of hopping on the train to the disabled list. If you want to play 100% healthy, get out of the big leagues. It's not going to happen there.

I'm thinking about calling in sick to work tonight. I'll tell them I'm suffering from "leg weakness"

I love it that the big Canuck is stepping up! It's amazing how 3 great starts can cure alot of ailments. Keep it rollin boys.

For all this team's troubles, we still haven't had a big home stretch. Only 15 games total. I'm looking at June 19, last date of a 10 game home stretch. That's my tune out date.

I find it funny that when there is positive news about the twins there are a LOT less comments.
