Hey Mauer Maniacs!
Last night, 4/15/13, Joe Mauer hit his 2nd home
run of the year. Joe went 4 for 5 and is now leading the team with a .346
average. On the 15th of April the Twins took down the powerful
Angels.
The twins who were expected to be last in the central division
have benefited from Mauers great play behind the plate has the pitching staff
throwing well, and as expected he is leading the twins in hits. Last season Joe
moved from catcher, to first base, to DH throughout the year and was never able
to get in a rhythm. This season Joe is set on catching much more. In a quote
from Joe he says, “I've been preparing is catching every day."
Mauer has been able to build a strong connection with this year’s
newly rebuilt pitching staff. One knew pitcher is Kevin Correia, Correia has become
great friends with Joe over there first few months together and his on field
performance is showing the chemistry. Correia has been the Twins most constant
starter all year with an ERA of 2.95 in 3 starts.
When Joe is in the lineup he has had a positive effect of
both the offense and defensive side of the ball.
