If Buck can figure it out to a certain extent. This team can be really fun.

[Riverbrian]

 

It's not a grand slam, but it'll do.

 

And I am pretty happy with what Buxton has been able to do, too. Not whiffing today, made solid contact on a couple foul balls, has been getting ahead in counts, took a walk.

 

And now he scores a run. That's how that happens.

 

Yeah I enjoyed the Buxton AB's tonight almost as much as the Dozier double. 

 

I love feeling encouraged about something.

Hughes struggling to hit 90 with his FB. Not good.

Provos reported 93 earlier. False?

[DrNeau]

Gomez almost picked off.

[IndianaTwin]

 

The guy on first is almost always waiting to make sure the guy from second broke.

This usually gives you enough time to catch him at 2nd.

And the guy on second usually has a bigger lead, right? 

[Badsmerf]

You need to read more of his posts.........

It's been a while since I posted about adjusting my standards based on intoxication level.

Not good!? That means he'll be gone sooner rather than later which is a good thing

I can't wait to see a young Twins team later this summer/fall
Even if they aren't very good, it'll be refreshing to see

Maybe but most of them upper 80's

Boof, go back to the Indy leagues.

[Joe A. Preusser]

Twins take the lead. Teaching tomorrow, bit I've EARNED that 6th drink.

I hear that every time I walk into a room. 

I was cheering for you.  You're intro created the spark the team needed.  

 

By the way, Falvey and Molitor lurk on these pages daily.

Absolutely. Their hit list is quite substantial, and has a shocking number of screen names on it.

[70charger]

Only 70 pitches for Hughes so far. How long do they keep rolling that die?

[laloesch]

Boof, go back to the Indy leagues.

He's actually pitched a decent game so far. Bert has it right he's learning to pitch instead of just throwing it. I think he's much more effective throwing fewer FB's and mixing it up more. Sano llooking pretty good at 3rd.

He should bunt and beat it out.

Sano choppin' weakly.

My wife also chops weekly, mostly milk, fruits and veggies.

[Aggies7]

How was that play even remotely as close as it was

They want the bullpen to rest. Hughes might pitch into tomorrrow.

He's starting the next two games, so....

[DrNeau]

It's not a joke.

[twinsnorth49]

We know......that's the joke.

 

We'll slow down so  you can keep up.

[Pardon My Dinger]

Wholeheartedly agree with Bert. Need a doinker!
