Nevermind, they fixed it. Never trust Gamecast.

So, Vargas threw to 2nd to get an out.....think Mauer noticed that from the bench?

[Hawkeye12]

 

Buxton is leading off against Sale?  So much for hiding him in the 9 hole against good pitching

 

It sounded the other night like he'll leadoff against lefties and hit ninth vs. righties.

I think Joe was too busy eating Kemps.

This is such overly simple thinking, it hurts my brain to use it that little.....

Got home from the MWL ASG in Peoria about noon. Had to decide between watching the Twins/Sox or going in to the office for the afternoon.

 

Despite having to listen to Hawk and the Sox broadcast, it really wasn't a difficult choice.

I see Buck is having a little more trouble with Sale on the hill as compared with Mr. Danks.

fire brunansky!

I think everyone is having a little more trouble with Sale than they did with Danks.

[stringer bell]

Checking back on the PbyP, it looks like Sale had a hiccup in the fourth. I guess three will have to stand up. Hughes seems to be 2015 Hughes, so I would call the lead uncomfortable.

[Hrbowski]

I don't like the White Sox.

Time to revive the fork thread.

Looks like Buck will struggle to get over the Buxton line today. And he's helping Sale the most to another 10 SO game. Rookies. Whaddya gonna do?

 

EDIT ADD: Not complaining. I like Buxton a ton. He brings an excitement that leaps from the field to the stands through the TV camera to my house and interwebs.

Have patience and/or rely on Kurt Suzuki.

 

I think one of these makes sense.

[James]

Sugar Shane!

[70charger]

Nice shot by Robinson. Don't care if it was an error or not, I'll take that second run against Sale any day.

[James]

Kenny Vargas Scores all the way from first.  That is not something I think we'll hear too often.  

[Danchat]

The White Sox defense is even worse than my high school's recreational team!!

[70charger]

I have a very choppy feed here with my crappy internet, and all I'm seeing is Buxton getting into his batting stance, and then when the feed jumps ahead, another strike on the board.

 

He just struck out and I didn't even get to see the ball cross the plate once.

[70charger]

Do we feel comfortable with a 5 run lead with our bullpen?

my guess; buxton struck out by the time they finished writing up the robinson at-bat.

I do.  Hughes is only at 84 pitches.  He'll be out there hopefully through the 7th, so that helps.

Did Multi-K hit an HR?

[big dog]

If the Twins hold on, they will win and Buxton won't strike out for the fifth time. Those are two Good Things.

[mickeymental]

with 6 earned runs and 8 hits off sale in 6-2/3 innings, brunansky's job is probably safe for another day ...

[Mike Sixel]

I was pretty sure "he's a lefty, Buxton should be fine" was not a good thought.....

[Circus Boy]

Good sign. Webb pitches almost exclusively in White Sox losses.

[James]

 

Did Multi-K hit an HR?

Nope.  He had to actually run the three bases.  All of them... in one play.
