But isn't he still nominally the closer? Not sure it makes sense to use your closer down a run in the 8th.

He's fallen off again, anyway.

[yarnivek1972]

Two extra base hits. Herrera is toast.

More like trampled by the horse.

[Darius]

That is such a big hit by Grossman.

Great clutch triple by Grossman, but when he popped to his feet and spun around, he missed getting tagged out by about a tenth of a second.

Okay Joe show us you're still hot.

[Puckett34]

Mauer!!

[Aggies7]

[NDagri]

Joe, the CLUTCH machine.

grumble grumble//Mauer never gets a 2 out RBI//grumble grumble...

[h2oface]

This is impressive. These guys are looking like they want to play in the post season!

[70charger]

Classic Mauer

[Ultima Ratio]

Joe!!!!!

Classic Mauer

 

Another Double play

[mikecgrimes]

Mauer still with an outside chance of 2000 hits before the year is over,  that's 1964. At worst he should hit his birth year this year.

[jimmer]

So glad to see Polanco playing so well.

[USAFChief]

Six outs, 3 run lead.

 

I don't like the math.

[TwinsCD]

Hildenberger better be coming out there for the 8th.

[Darius]

The Rangers have opened up a 4 run lead over the Yanks in the 7th.

 

Could be a really good night if our bullpen can put this away.

[h2oface]

I'm kinda relieved that Buxton didn't have to see if the golden sombrero fit today with the bases loaded.... Now he can get a lead off hit with no pressure. Maybe. Depending how the bottom of the 8th goes.

[IndianaTwin]

 

She didn't see that well.

 

I'm not sure whether to consider this a good thing or a bad thing, but my son who just went off to college has asked me to send him some TD jokes.  

[glunn]

 

grumble grumble//Mauer never gets a 2 out RBI//grumble grumble...

And he should stay off your lawn.

[h2oface]

Polanco 0-2 today with a .600 OBP!

[jimmer]

Man I wanted Hosmer to go for 2B.  Test Buxton's arm.

[h2oface]

Three change-ups in a row in the same place to Hosmer not such a great idea, Castro.

[USAFChief]

I was kinda hoping for K, myself.

[yarnivek1972]

No prob. Easy DP.

[Aggies7]
