Buxton is so deep in center he could probably buy a hot dog.

He's pretty skinny.  It might not be a bad idea.

We needed that performance from Hughes. I tip my Hat and present him with the game ball. 

Hey Bri Congrats on your year anniversary of being the president of the"Baseball Player Positional Flexibility" Club.

[Comrade Bork]

Man, I was really worried after that double steal and we had to throw till second. Hughes looked pretty rattled and last year's Twins wouldnt have found a way to come back. They are definitely showing some more poise in close games. Baby steps just getting back to a functional ball club.

Thanks... I'm still standing. 

 

There hasn't been a rush to join but that's OK... there will be a rush eventually. It's prime ground floor real estate. 

[Halsey Hall]

Very nice win and some good plays from Polanco, and Sano. One big hit is all it takes some days.

This goes out to Blake. He wanted an update of this if our squad won today. Last week was a wreckage, I blame Olivia.

Good bounce back win after yesterday. Glad they're playing in Texas in April. Odor's 9th inning fly out might have been out mid-summer.

So, are you going to update RallyRum^tm

So, are you going to update RallyRum^tm

I did.

Classy move by Dozier giving complete credit to Buxton for drawing a walk ahead of his double. I think this is what leadership looks like.

[Blake]

 

I did.

Cool!

He's also right. The Buxton from a week ago (or, hell, even yesterday) would have ended the only inning they scored in. Yeah it's a team sport, but that was huge.

How do you guys post the pic?

PM'd you.

[Blake]

Winner!

 

[Pardon My Dinger]

Just being honest. I smoke crack and play with my Hot Wheel ramp sets from the the early 80's when I am involved with the game threads. Screw Alcohol. Crack is back bitches!

Rally crack! Rally crack! Rally crack!

I wish I had 1/4 the ounce of talent that Kyle Gibson does to be on a major league mound. He look's so pained and so tortured emotionally with his facial expressions. Like he is enduring a mental beatdown each time he goes out there. That or extremely constipated in need of a laxative so he can go.

 

Baseball is a kids game played by grown men. It is supposed to be fun, this dude Gibson isn't letting the game be fun for him. Yeah they are professionals and it is a business, but it the game of baseball is still at it's core a fun game to play.

You know, I think you nailed the thing that makes me unnerved about Gibby.  Kind of like the face Ewan McGregor made whenever he had to hit any high notes singing in "Moulin Rouge."  He didn't look like he was in the throes of musical ecstasy, not like he was enjoying himself at all.  He looked more like Gibby on the mound.

Haven't read and probably won't read much of this. I was traveling during much of the game and listened to the Texas radio feed on Sirus/XM for most of the first few innings. There was something the Rangers announcers did correctly that none of the Twins announcers do. In Spanish s is pronounced s. Not z. One would think that the least someone making their living on the airwaves could do is make the effort to pronounce names correctly, especially baseball announcers saying Hispanic names. Minor issue, yes, but it bugs me.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I'm pretty sure this was the Twins' first one run victory.

Of the 2017 season, you mean?

 

Not that i pay attention but i am pretty sure 1991 game 7 was won by 1 run.

 

Hopefully this portends well...
