What's wrong with the 3B coach that he wasn't watching the ball to know that Buxton could have scored?!?!?

He was worried Buxton would pass Suzuki?

[jimmer]

 

Man, that would have been fun to see ... a 2nd in-the-parker in the same series. Would he have made it?

He sure would have, IMO.  Though the Nunez inside HR was an error, this one would have been legit.

isn't Brainerd from Fargo

but everyone agrees this was one of the funniest parts of the movie

Okay, but are you going to watch that scene over and over and over again ... every single game, every single play ... and have it still be funny? Maybe you are the only one still laughing at it after seeing it 100 times in a row within a 3-hr period. I stopped laughing after the first time I saw it.

 

Now, just stop, okay? If you want to continue this discussion with me in private, please do.

yeah ... that's why it would have been even more fun to see ... although some might say the ball was misplayed off the wall, but I don't and won't.

[jimmer]

Seems the time down in the minors helped Bux.

a lot of what happened in the movie Fargo was actually in Brainerd, if that's what you mean.

[operation mindcrime]

Ouch

I don't think it was really.  He doesn't know how that wall plays and no way for him to know how high it would bounce.

Well, I would certainly disagree that I post like that ALL THE TIME. Most of my posts ARE silly jokes and pictures poking fun at the team. But seems my pun-mobile was out of gas today.

 

But whaaaatever!

[Squirrel]

I'll wait another month to say that because ... well ... just because ... but I'm hoping that yeah, that was just what was needed for him.

hmm, I've only seen it once and just remember the name.

[Danchat]

Is Duffey OK? He's struggling out there.

Just stop posting the posts nobody wants to read

 

 

* yah we all slip up occasionally, and more so in bad seasons like this

[HitInAPinch]

Well, good news is, Twins are getting runners on base. 7 hits 2 walks in 3 innings.

Is it a "clutch" thing?  I gotta lead, heck, just throw fastballs.  Bases loaded, yeah, swing for the fences.

 

It's getting to the point beyond weird.

[Aggies7]

welp

Okay, that's fair ... just kind of remember ... we all know how things are ... I mean, I say my fair share of ****s during bad games ... but then move on. It's only a game ... and in these trying times, let's use the threads to pick each other up instead because we really NEED that right now. 'K?

still is having issues with good curves from left handed pitchers.  The ones that end up at his shoe laces.

Seems he's gotten FAR away from his breaking stuff.

[jimmer]

Brainerd is an actual town in Minnesota, not a made up name.

 

The TV show is awesome!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ugh. We need to stop giving up these home runs right after we have a good inning.

 

Is that too obvious? Am I being too obvious?

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Duff!

[USAFChief]

Obviously.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Time in the minors has done Buxton well.  That average has gone way up in no time.  Hope he keeps it up, b/c if he does, I'll be perfectly fine leaving him up here.

[Squirrel]

Yeah, well, not to be punny, but there's always a learning curve and this is Bux's to learn. But some pitches are going to just be good and will fool even the best of players. I'm hoping Bux will get there. Learning curve and all.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sounds like Dozier is coming to bat this inning.

 

I'm gonna bail before it gets ugly again

 

Enjoy the game everyone

[crapforks]

Look at Duffy's numbers with 2 out!

that is nuts!

I think we need to hit a few more too.

IDK.  Gotta neck cramp from watching that last one fly out....
