We love a good old-fashioned Twitter beef, especially when there’s not REALLY a beef. All in good fun, we say. And that’s what happened Saturday night between Angels outfielder Kole Calhoun and Royals catcher Martin Maldonado, who played for the Angels last year. Elsewhere, the Twins can hit home runs off of anybody, it seems. Well, except a catcher. And there’s new special food delivery service in the Brewers dugout.
It all started when Kole Calhoun told Martin Maldonado not to touch his bat. (In a joking fashion, we think.) Maldonado tossed the bat down out of Calhoun’s reach, and the rest is Twitter history.

The Twins hit six home runs in pulverizing the Mariners on Saturday night. It’s the third time already Minnesota has hit five or more home runs — no other team has done it more than once.

The only person to put a stop to the dinger parade? The Mariners’ Tom Murphy, who struck out two in a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Oh yeah — Murphy’s a catcher.
Tom Murphy’s a catcher, but don’t let that fool you.

Playing for the Brewers is a pretty good deal these days. You win a lot of games, get a front-row seat to watch Christian Yelich hit … and then there’s the dugout waiter.
Back to the action on the diamond, with a pretty good version of Sunday Night Baseball on tap tonight.
