Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 7:10pm CDT 9/7/2016 AD

[Don Walcott]

Eric Davis swing?

What did they do to Buxton's swing in the minors to produce all this power in the past couple of weeks?

Solid plant of the front foot.

It actually looks like he's just playing right now and not thinking too much. Rochester's done, so they can't threaten him with demotion anymore this year. He's free to just go out there and play.

 

If can't be easy to have a couple of bad games and worry about having to head back to Rochester or suffer the embarrassment of being benched in favor of DanSan.

Hang in there, Buxie, but remember: you're never gonna get your BABIP out of the toilet if you don't put the ball in play.

Shorter swing = more powerful swing?

For a cartoon that has been on the operating room table for so many years with a case of old-age-about-to-die the Simpsons' images do endure. They do endure.

Too bad the Twins don't have a fast, scary guy like Gore.

Its called coaching...

[David HK]

Nice foul ball snag by Bartman over there.

There's a less fast but no less scary Gore available in free agency this winter...

Refresh me-  did Kinztler pitch in the 8th tonight, too?

 

 

[jud6312]

I can almost taste that 50% off pizza tomorrow.

But he would have to be unable to hit to qualify. Career minor league .233 hitter. But you need a guy like that in the playoffs.

What is this "coaching" you speak of? Are guys like Molly, Bruno and Neal allowed to do this, too?

[Tovar12]

Hopefully Dick didn't just curse them by mentioning 3 shut out innings by the bullpen to close out the game.

You a used car salesman and we didn't know it?

 

You sell good used cars! Real sturdy!

Why Rosario?  Why?

Sorry Jud.  Coaching only allowed at minor league level.  

[big dog]

The next time Rosario makes a stupid throw home I yank him off the field.  How many freaking extra bases has he given the opposition?  &*#$& 4

Well.  There's that, then. 

 

Oh, Eddie.

 

 

[gocgo]

Kintzler doesn't pass the eye test for me.  Not enough swings and misses for a closer.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Winnah!!

SampleSizeOfOne said there were no jinxes tonight in the opening post.  Wanted to test the that theory.

[big dog]

Nice job Twins.  Great job Buxton.

 

Rosario- go sit down.

[HitInAPinch]

GAME OVER!  TWINS WIN!

 

[David HK]

Whew.

 

And good on ya, Brandon-- don't argue with Kennys.
