GOMEZ HITS FOR THE CYCLE!!!!!

[Caesarfishinguytoo]

If this guy can cut down his strike outs, become more descipline at the plate he could be fun to watch!!!

[Schloogs]

Congrats to Gomez, very impressive.

[bassNspear]

awesome stuff. Hopefully he can keep it up

[brian6715]

Even though he does strikeout a lot, he provides a much needed spark to a rather dull lineup

[huntnfishsd]

could be fun to watch?? he already is! when he gets on base, the guy is electric and is a difference maker on the base paths...

i understand he needs to cut down on the strikeouts, but he is only 22 and all that will come with time and more experience

[mr_jman]

First time since 1986 so its good to see!!!!! Biggest thing is we got or will soon get the W and hopefully can take the series finale tomorrow afternoon!

Punto also deserves some attention for having a great game and providing some clutch hitting as of late (Tonight with the key RBI's and on Sunday with some big hits to beat the Tigers!)

[huntnfishsd]

Ditto on Punto Jman! It sure is nice to see a good guy like him to get back on track a little a bit and provide a nice spark for the Twins, he deserves it!

[BID2]

Gomez is the greatest baseball player in the history of the world!!!!!!!!!!

[SledNeck]

STATEMENT GAME

[walleyes12]

Gomez has all the potential in the world! I hope he learns how to utilize it like he did tonight

[jigging-matt]

He sure is fun to watch, he does need to cut down on his stikeouts, and be a little better at throwing, but the energy he brings is much needed. he will be fun to watch for years to come.

Congratuations to Gomez, Punto, and Hernandez, all 3 had a great game last night. Gomez sure makes the loss of Hunter easy to forget, and Hernandez has eased the loss of Johan as well. It also looks like we did good by not releasing Punto before giving him a second chance. This is a young team, and they are fun to watch now, and will be for years to come!

Last time was Kirby Pucket, both playing center field, and Kirby was a free swinger too!! Congrats Gomez!!

[tisosy11]

Man o man - if gomez can continue to progress he could be something else!

[ozzie]

That was a joke of a cycle........his "double" with an error should have been a single with a 2 base error and his single should have been just an error by the SS.....regardless he is still a fun player to watch and if he keep progressing the sky the limit for him..........

[fishinphilth]

His double was a double and got to 3rd on the error. His single was a little iffy but it was a cycle and cant take it away.

[ozzie]

if the left fielder played his "double" correctly on one hop instead of a halfa$$ed dive attempt then he would have been held to a single........

[tisosy11]

Yeah, you can say it shouldn't be this and it shouldn't be that...but its scored how its scored.

Yesterday that unnassisted triple play shouldn't have been one either...why was the runner on first already around 2nd...if that baserunner would have held up he would have been safe.

[huntnfishsd]

Things are scored the way they scored and that's that.

But I guess now that a ball hit over the fence by a couple feet shouldn't be a home run?? Come on guys, give the kid some credit!

[Scott K]

He got another Home run last night, looks like he is being a little more patient at the plate as well. By mid season he will have a .280 average and maybe 8-10 homers. You couldnt ask for much better then that from a rookie.

[tisosy11]

Yeah, I love to see GO-GO take some of these pitches...He is a totally different batter since he started with the twins. He use to just bunt and swing at anything and everything.

Now hes taking pitches and hitting the ball. His speed will always give him the option to bunt and I love seeing that he is learning how to become a hitter!
