  Boyer is in, all is well.

Reverse jinx I assume?

[formerly33]

Pelf, only 103 pitches and you leave the game? I am disappointed...very, very disappointed.

[formerly33]

Hicks would've caught that.

[twinsnorth49]

Awesome, just awesome..............Pelf left because? Oh right, Boyer of course.

[Gibby]

 

  He's gonna carve Reynolds up like a frenched rack.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Tie game, 9th inning, at home.... save situation no longer possible... heart of the order due up (1st batter LH).  Boyer or Perkins?

 

EDIT: Leadoff double, but Boyer survived!

[70charger]

That's a big K.

[Hrbowski]

Yadi slams the bat, Boyer slams the door.

  Boyer, if you want to win.

[twinsnorth49]

Well that helped.

[Halsey Hall]

We got outta that!  Now finish it off. Maybe Vargas gets it done.

Blaine's got this.

Boyer does have more "wins" than Perkins this year.

[Aggies7]

Wow. Shocked we didn't IBB either Reynolds or Peralta. How often does that work out?

[tobi0040]

Prediction: Buxton walk off hit. 

 

Question: I wonder how often a switch hitting DH is pinch hit for in crunch time.  Odds at 50% IMO.

[clank2000]

Nunez, Suzuki, Vargas. Sounds like a winner.

[70charger]

Wow. That was another "bunt" that completely surprised Nunez.

 

Also, his helmet came off. Again. Why does he wear one?

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Winnah!!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

WHAAAAAAAA????

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Hey - Hunter passed Gary Gaetti on the Twins All-Time hits list today. Good for him.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Not shocked here.  Reynolds is quite likely to whiff, so don't mess around trying to set up a double play for his PA unless it's absolutely necessary.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Time to dance!!!

[70charger]

Silencing the doubters. Love it.

[Gibby]

Chicken Dinnah!

[FattCrapps]

Big Poppa

[formerly33]

VARGAS!!!!!!

 

BALLGAME!!!!!!!!

[clank2000]

Holy Bejeezus!

[Hrbowski]

Ortiz'd it.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

oh, and also Kennys says he'd like to stay a little longer in the bigs.

[Halsey Hall]

Hahahaha, Vargas!
