Buxton struck out??!?!  I don't believe it.

[HitInAPinch]

wow, 3 pitches.  But gotta hang in there with Buxton. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I like Polanco. Let's find a place to play him.

Like Target field.

 

But Tropicana will do for now...

Times a tickin'

I share your surprise. I was expecting him to bunt.

 

And would have been pleasently surprised if he got it down...

[dgwills]

That was not a competitive at bat by Buxton. Not sure you could look worse

[DrNeau]

Atta boy, Dozier!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Dozier!!!

[HitInAPinch]

re Polanco...not that I want Dozier to go anywhere.

[Willihammer]

How do you get Dozier out anymore?

[Aggies7]

You should just go ahead and copy this down

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Dozier is killing the ball lately.

[USAFChief]

DOZIERZEE!!!

How do you get Dozier out anymore?

stop giving him high pitches would be a start.

[DrNeau]

Mauer hitting .330 lifetime with RISP. Wow. Do something now, Joe. 

[DrNeau]

Runners on the corners; Joe walks.

[dgwills]

That's how you do it!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer, bring Dozier home for the lead. Pretty please.

[HitInAPinch]

2 on for Kepler.  I'm ok with that.

[ashbury]

I read somewhere today that they want a new stadium

They should aim higher, and go for a ballpark.

[Willihammer]

IIRC Sano had a sure HR taken away by the catwalk earlier this year.

[jimmer]

they think Mauer is going to chase balls in the dirt?

[Platoon]

stop giving him high pitches would be a start.

I keep seeing it but not believing it. your better off bouncing the ball 4 times.

[ashbury]

Snell zeroed in on Kepler's weakness and did very well.

[big dog]

 

How do you get Dozier out anymore?

based on the first inning, stand on the warning track and hope.

[LaBombo]

 

I don't know why this image ... because baseball?

 

 

A waiver acquisition that hits like Ted Williams for a month is due to regress in the same way that your car 'regresses' when you drive it into a pole...

 

But the OBP is still pretty amazing. Expected that to dip down to .350 by now.

[HitInAPinch]

3 and out.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Psst, Sano...

 

It's ripping time!

[Aggies7]
