[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Lean into one, Brian.

[Squirrel]

no predictions now ... I want y'all to be surprised.

[70charger]

Dozier is not hitting the ball very well lately. Lots of pop ups.

[mikeee]

I dare you to pitch to Mauer!

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

What's that thing called again, where you get the winning run in the bottom of the last inning?

 

I forget.

a win?

[jimmer]

Has Dozier flown out to the OF 4 times today?

This must mean we're going to win because we certainly wouldn't be surprised if we lost.

[USAFChief]

Walk off HPB.

 

 I'm calling it now.

[70charger]

Man, I wanted to see Joe walk 'em off. Here's your chance, Buxton.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Squeeze

[diehardtwinsfan]

Buxton will make them pay... right?

[LaBombo]

Buxton looking relaxed and confident,  like it's his first day at Brain Surgery Camp...

I've always just called it "that thing where you get the winning run in the bottom of the last inning."

 

Hrm.

[HitInAPinch]

oh boy,  really not the guy you want at the plate now......

[70charger]

Again, so close but so far! He hit the **** out of that, but it went to Andrelton Simmons.

[formerly33]

 

Walk off HPB.

 

 I'm calling it now.

JINX!! That was SO going to happen until you came along and ruined that little spell I had going. It's all on you. 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Really smart taking Sano out Molitor! Guy stinks

[USAFChief]

Foghorn!  Welcome to the game thread.

[ashbury]

I have showed up in time to comment on the victory.

[jimbo92107]

Once again, if Buxton bunts it hard at the SS or 2B, game over. Not even an option, Paul Molitor?

[LaBombo]

Some variation of "_____-off",  depending on the means by which the run scores,    unless the opponent is the White Sox,   in which case it's an F-off win no matter what.

Earlier, I was thinking pulling Sano was a poor decision, and it was... too bad the Twins have no idea how to call for a pinch hitter. I think Escobar could have won it.

Foghorn!  Welcome to the game thread.

Thanks I was banned for a while there, not sure what I did but

[Bark's Lounge]

What a drag. We could have had it there.

You know what you did but.

[D. Hocking]

With the minor detail of starting 0 and 9 and the first nine games, this has been a fun season.

Well, yeah, but other than that what'd you think of the play, Mrs Lincoln?

[USAFChief]

If we found the missing Trevor May, overtime may have been worth it.

[ashbury]

The wins this season have been good but.
