We asked the question Thursday night, and we’ll ask it again tonight. Why do teams insist on running on Max Kepler?
Kepler threw out a runner in Thursday night’s win over Baltimore.
Well, apparently the White Sox didn’t watch their game film. Because with two outs in the top of the 9th inning with the go-ahead run in scoring position, Melky Cabrera decides he’s going to test Kepler’s arm and try to get to third.
Again we ask why?
This is how it turned out.

And Twitter was abuzz talking about the Twins again.
It's a good night to be a right fielder. Max Kepler throws out Cabrera at third to end the top of the ninth.

My only real long-term worry with Max Kepler is that he might be too handsome.
