*sigh* Buxton...

[DrNeau]

Jeez.

[Aggies7]

Serious question...if his offense never improves, how long will the twins stick with him simply for the defense? At some point you have to get more than 768 Ks a year

[Squirrel]

At least a couple times per year I choose to listen to Hawk. If the Twins are killing the Sox, listening to Hawk can truly be an amazing experience.

So true.

 

But the best is rendering him silent after a game of tirades. Thome walk off home run anyone?

[Winston Smith]

 

*sigh* Buxton...

I think we are getting close to the time we get concerned about his future.

[twinssporto]

Santiago has some good heat going today 94-95.

The kid is going to be ok.  Last year we all moaned and groaned about Dozier not hitting.  He turned it around nicely.  

[ashbury]

ok Buck... time for a bases loaded confidence boosting hit.

Instead, a confidence shattering swing at that drop-pitch on 0-1. He managed to guess the 0-2 offering would be a ball, but knew he was a dead duck and made it official on the next curve. Ugh.

Shields has a nice curveball and he is throwing it with confidence against Buxton and Sano.

Hah! Who needs to hit them over the fence!

[Squirrel]

WOW!

[glunn]

Dozier!!!

Except dozier proved he could hit for more than one month of his career.

[twinssporto]

The ham has been smoking on the grill for awhile now.  Hope this game is over before....INSIDE THE PARK  HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hybridbear]

Cuadrangular de campo for Dozier!

[Jerr]

DOZIER!!!!!!!!!

[DrNeau]

Dozier! HOME RUN!!!

[twinssporto]

WOW!!!!!!!!

[stringer bell]

Exciting!!!

[hybridbear]

I love seeing Dozier's enthusiasm & excitement!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Wow....almost missed that!

[Aggies7]

I thought his goose was cooked

[drock2190]

I think Dozier knew Shields strands 100% of baserunners.

[Squirrel]

If he had been out at home that would have been the most deflating play.

[twinssporto]

That's the type of spark that wins ballgames!

[glunn]

This is a situation where I think that a walk by Mauer would be a really good thing, because it would make Shields have to work harder.

[DrNeau]

C'mon, Joe. Hammer that. 

[snepp]

 

I love seeing Dozier's enthusiasm & excitement!

 

And his luxurious flowing locks as he sprints around 3rd.

[crapforks]

Of course its nice to see the big bat on your favorite team go yard on a 3-0 pitch, but I can't say I like it overall. In fact, I absolutely love watching an opposing player make an out on 3-0.

Wild on life support
