Grounder takes crazy curve from foul to fair

Found June 30, 2012 on Bob's Blitz : Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brian Dozier
TEAMS: Minnesota Twins

From Bob's Blitz:

Minnesota Twins shortstop Brian Dozier showed us why you're supposed to run hard to first on any ball you hit. As you can see in the video above, Dozier literally hit a curveball during his 5th inning at-bat against the Royals on Saturday. His ball started off foul, but then went fair because it was hit with so much spin. Teammate Ryan Doumit was even able to score from second on the single.

After getting such a good break on that play, it's no surprise the Twins ended up winning 7-2.

  • First baseman was not pulled off the bag and the catcher had to barehand the ball and flip it underhand. All would add up to a base hit NOT an error!

Twins have a trio of AL all-star candidates

Via Fox Sports North  |  June 30, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was asked earlier this week who he thought his all star (or all stars) should be this year.
