For the love of god, Joe, do something.

[yarnivek1972]

Need a clutch hit here.

[GCTF]

Bases loaded, one out. Hopefully they score more than 0.

There is a bar here that tried to tell me a juicy lucy was a chicago style burger. I almost lost my #@$^

"Good day to you, sir!"  [walks out of bar]

[Aggies7]

[Aggies7]

Nice AB

 

Need a reward

[wavedog]

Joe is yankeeing Severino

[wsnydes]

Veteran professional hitter frustrating the kid on the mound.

 

Welcome to the big leagues.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Wow, Mauer. Just ****ing wow.

[John Kelsey]

Joe Mauer forever. 

[Aggies7]

I've been super hard on Joe the last two nights but that's a BIG TIME at bat from the leader

[Darius]

That was an amazing AB.

[wsnydes]

As locked in as Mauer is, after 13 pitches it only seems expected that he get a base knock out of the deal.  Great AB Joe!

[wavedog]

AB of the Year!!

[Mike Sixel]

impressive AB for sure

[Aggies7]

13 pitch AB, fouling off multiple 98+ pitches (although I think the radar is juiced at YS)

[twinsnorth49]

That AB was simply unreal. 

[gocgo]

Better send the pitching coach out to talk to the pitcher....zzzzzzzzz.

[Cap'n Piranha]

So the Mauer AB got me curious, so I googled most pitches in one AB, and found that the record is 20, set 19 years ago in 1998.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was set against Bartolo Colon.

[Aggies7]

hallelujah.

[Aggies7]

open the floodgates. maybe the trick is playing these guys during the day

[John Kelsey]

They had Berrios at 98 last night, has to be off. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, kids. It's officially that time of year. I usually watch baseball with a calm, reserved attitude. You never get much more than a groan or a "nice" from me.

 

I just pumped my fist and exclaimed "**** YES" multiple times.

Gameday says two fouls on 100 MPH pitches, two more fouls on 99 MPH pitches...

[wavedog]

Of course Polanco just accomplished what Joe did in one swing -  thanks for wearing Severino out Joe! 

[Darius]

About time the Twins get one of those cheap two-run bleeders that the Yanks seemingly get every game against us.

[twinsnorth49]

Crooked number......really?

 

Wow.
