'Hopefully this will be the game that Mollie learns to stop taking his best hitter out of close games.'

 

Mauer got taken out of the game?

[LaBombo]

 

Pitching has done their job all freakin year so far, can anyone carrying a big wooden stick do SOMETHING please??

 

Well, ok, if you insist.   Hold still.

c'mon on Arcia!!

[Mr. Brooks]

Buxton ended up scoring the only run that inning. I have a hard time complaining too much about taking out one of the slower guys on the team and replacing him with one of the fastest guys in the league.

 

The Twins needed one run and they got it at least in part due to Buxton's speed.

Even if that is your best hitter?

Do you remember all of those huge late inning hits that Sano had last year?

I hope you enjoyed them because he won't be getting any when he's sitting on the bench every time it's late and close.

[jimmer]

now we just need a single to the OF.

I'm just glad the players get paid time and a half for overtime. They deserve it.

[HitInAPinch]

SWEET 

 

[Ultima Ratio]

You betch'ya!

[D. Hocking]

All we do is win..... 

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Arcia's back!!!

[USAFChief]

WINNAH!!1!

[glunn]

Yes!

[Craig Arko]

I'd prefer he's crosses home shortly, but to each his own,I guess.

If you insist.

[jimmer]

Twins win!!!!

[HitInAPinch]

OMG   The day Oswaldo Arcia grows a pair!

[70charger]

Yes! It was a that thing where you get the winning run in the bottom of the last inning!!!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Twins walk off on the Angels! Repeat!

[mikeee]

we win.  I predicted it.

[TwinsCD]

Huston Street balked at least once during that Escobar at-bat.

[twinsnorth49]

Arcia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

OZZIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Big HIT!!!!!

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

c'mon on Arcia!!

He came on!!

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

If Arcia's learned to hit the ball the other way on a regular basis, watch out.

[SwainZag]

WINNNAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Pardon My Dinger]

Three in a row! Oswaldo! Three in a row! Oswaldo!

[twinsnorth49]

[dgwills]

[USAFChief]

You only get credit for a single, Ozzie.  No bueno.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Even if that is your best hitter?

Do you remember all of those huge late inning hits that Sano had last year?

I hope you enjoyed them because he won't be getting any when he's sitting on the bench every time it's late and close.

There's a damned good chance the Twins lose 2-1 in nine without Buxton running.

 

And now they've just won 3-2 because, again, Byron Buxton is *really fast*.
