Eddie(s)!!!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Funny Penguin, right on!

[rghrbek]

Methinks pinch hitting for a twins catcher is not something to avoid

[stringer bell]

Yes! We can hit homers with runners on!

[Riverbrian]

Real Ugly Game

 

Real Beautiful 8th inning

[Guest]

The Twins are pinch-hitting? I thought that went against Molitor's beliefs!

Riverboat Paul strikes again!

[70charger]

 

Oh, he got all of that one!

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Hopefully that will get Eddie going.

[tobi0040]

Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

 

On a side note, I don't know why MLB.com says "in play, runs" or "in play, outs".  Is that any easier or quicker to publish than "HR to left field" or "Ground out to 2B". 

 

I mean the system should know who is hitting and prefill that in

[HitInAPinch]

Slash by Buxton to RF corner.  game winning inside-park HR !!

[wavedog]

A pinch-hit Home Run - how wonderful is that - way to go Eddie! 

[HitInAPinch]

well, RF anyway.......

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

well, RF anyway.......

Would have been a home run in wiffle ball.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

If we could get a homerun with some one base that'd be awesome...

wish, granted

[KidBro]

 

Anyone else see that guy in section 234 go ass over tailfeathers? Well, he got a souvenir, it looks like.

 

I didn't, but you paint a pretty (funny) picture.  

[Hrbowski]

Nunez nearly had that.

[stringer bell]

Strategy time. Zuke comes in, but do you waste Rosario?

[PopRiveter]

Turned down the radio for 5 minutes to take a work call and missed all the fun.

Dang, problem with Fox Sports Go.

 

It seems if you have to reload after the game is scheduled to be over, you can't watch the rest. My only option to watch right now is the Postgame show, which of course is not yet on. Clicking that one doesn't load the game back up.

 

Dang about my silly watchability issues, not the tie game of course.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Pitchers have finally figured out Dozier, they all put their pitches low and outside and he rarely makes hard contact now, I'd say a pretty poor year for him in 2016.

 

I mean, I liked this, but I don't really like this...

[70charger]

"And now a high fly in right..."

 

<gasp>

 

<whew>

[rghrbek]

We have no back up catcher on the bench...Gardy regrets accepting new job.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

10 home runs for Twins. All solo shots.

 

Please talk more about how the Twins only hit solo home runs.  It seems to work well!

[70charger]

 

Turned down the radio for 5 minutes to take a work call and missed all the fun.

Sure! How about ****?

[70charger]

 

Sure! How about ****?

 

Would also work for this situation.

[stringer bell]

That's the right call--error on Buxton.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Dammit Proven Closer!  This is why he should only pitch in save situations!

[diehardtwinsfan]

That Buxton error might end up hurting...

[LaBombo]

The modest

The low

The miniscule

 

The microscopic probability of May ever getting another start in a Twins uniform has effectively reached zero with the ineffectiveness/injury of Perkins and now the apparent implosion of Jep.

 

 

[Puckett34]

Now would be a good time for a Sano Storm
