Kubel Update

Kubel just hit his 3rd HR of the year tonight. He is now tied for the team lead in HR with Morneau.

He was down no balls, two strikes, then worked the count full and hooked one around the right field foul pole.

Kubel has started in all the games since Cuddyer went on the DL. Assuming that Span is sent back down once Cuddyer returns, let's hope that the power and patience shown by Kubel will be enough for him to take over as full-time DH.

Kudos to Kubes. This blog and his efforts on the diamond are showing me he is capable of leading us to the promise land as #16 can on his own control the outcome of the game at times. Liriano Sunday was nice to see especially the guts to throw the Sweet Music circle change on a full count, although some of his pitches it looked like he was heaving a shot put as we got John Rockered.
