Wait wait WAIT.

 

WHAT THE **** IS BRIAN DOZIER DOING IN THIS GAME?

[Intramural Legend]

I don't understand why we would bring in a guy fresh of the DL in such a big moment.  

[jimbo92107]

Save us, Blaine Boyer, you're our only hope!

 

Star Wars joke.

[twinsnorth49]

Whew, Boyer.........sob.

[mikecgrimes]

I don't mind it as much...I guess. But dozier? Give me a break, he shouldn't bunt unless it's 0-0 in game 7, 9th inning of the World Series with a guy on 2nd.

with the infield in I want to swing away and make them pay. That was a triple play waiting to happen.

[Aggies7]

Molitor is like "I have golf plans in October"

 

For the love of God can anyone pitch with a lead?????

[Brock Beauchamp]

Seriously, Paul Molitor. What the hell is wrong with you, man?

[Circus Boy]

 

Um, it's the 7th inning, you're now leading the GOTG standings tonight CB.

 

Not sure about GOTG. Guardians of the Galaxy?

[TwinsCD]

Over-Under on number of pitches it takes Boyer to lose the lead?  I'm setting it at 10 1/2.

[David HK]

First Dunse, to face a powerful righty, now Boyer.  O. M. F. G.

 

[twinsnorth49]

Not sure about GOTG. Guardians of the Galaxy?

goat of the game, for the winning streak jinx.

[Squirrel]

Sigh!!!

 

So. Much. Anxiety.

[Danchat]

After winning the last 5 games in a row, the Twins have decided they've won too many in a row and plan to blow the lead here with the Duensing-Boyer combo.

[clank2000]

Boyer getting squeezed?

[twinsnorth49]

Over-Under on number of pitches it takes Boyer to lose the lead? I'm setting it at 10 1/2.

number of pitches for Boyer to get an out..47.

[LaBombo]

 

Oh, you don't know about moral victories? 

 

Only from movies:http://www.wingclips.com/system/movie-clips/rudy/rudy-rudy-rudy/images/rudy-movie-clip-screenshot-rudy-rudy-rudy_large.jpg

 

I very much wanted to like Punto the ballplayer as much as I liked Punto the story, but in the end it was like trying to appreciate Rudy if he had won a starting role just by constantly rubbing dirt on his uniform and bloodying his own nose.

[jimbo92107]

Boyer's elbow looks very comfortable.

[twinsnorth49]

Boyer's elbow looks very comfortable.

And his shoes. Have to have comfortable shoes.

[TwinsCD]

No-no is no more in Detroit.

[twinsnorth49]

Boyer with the "I can't believe he swung at that " reaction

[twinsnorth49]

No-no is no more in Detroit.

tee hee

[DaveW]

If I was an opposing team I would run non stop on the twins

[twinsnorth49]

Nice to at least " almost" get a runner stealing.

[LaBombo]

 

Boyer's elbow looks very comfortable.

 

"Say again Blazer 1, all after 'optimism about Boyer'."

[TwinsCD]

Can't wait for the howls of protest from the TB TV crew when they reverse this call.

[Jerr]

I try tyo catch up on this thread, leave to see Verlander discontinue his no hitter and come back to this?

 

COME on Twins!!!!

 

Boyer in?                          

 

 

 

                      

[mikecgrimes]

Clearly out but letssit around for 5 minutes

[DaveW]

He should be safe there. He clearly beat the throw. Spirit of the game etc etc

[Squirrel]

Wow. Okay then.

[DaveW]

I will take it!
