Something happened to Buxton?

He slammed into a wall

[yarnivek1972]

Watch Granite turn on one for his second MLB homer in the 9th.

[DocBauer]

Damn wall!

[glunn]

 

Buxton out  

Adversity can inspire a team like the Twins.

[Riverbrian]

 

Look, win or lose, we are watching the Twins in a playoff game for the 1st time in a decade.  I'm pumped up.

 

Yep

 

And I like that the Yanks have burned Robertson and Greene already. 

 

The Twins just need to keep their chins up and stay confident. 

[Jerr]

Gotta be up in less than 6 hours, in bed listening to the radio and will wake up to hear how the Twins won this game  

[Aggies7]

That was a nasty pitch

[AlwaysinModeration]

Just hoping Buxton is ok for Thursday.

[LaBombo]

 

I know his face cost more than our house.

 

And that hairline cost more than the sum of all the cars I've owned in the past two decades.

[yarnivek1972]

I didn’t like the sound when Buxton hit the wall. Sounded hard. It’s obviously padded, perhaps not enough?

[Aggies7]

We simply cannot get Brett Gardner out. It's an impossibility

[AlwaysinModeration]

New goal: Get Gardner out tonight?

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

Stick with Berrios, if possible. He's got whiff stuff, even when he's not locked in.

Whiff Stuff. I'm thumbing through the thesaurus...

[LaBombo]

 

Something happened to Buxton?

 

He was slow to get up after that catch in the second, but I didn't think much of it after he was able to bat in the third.  Huge bummer.  Hope he's ok.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nothing - we're just getting warmed up.

How very John Paul Jones!

[Aggies7]

The oooooohing and ahhhhing with every judge swing..

[NDagri]

 

Buxton out  

This is like a 9 man football game in rural ND. You Lose key players and you run out of options.

[Aggies7]

Meatball

[snepp]

Boo.

[PDX Twin]

Judge is a big target. How come our pitchers keep missing him?

[yarnivek1972]

Gee

[spinowner]

 

The oooooohing and ahhhhing with every judge swing..

Unfortunately more than that with that swing.

[Aggies7]

Pitching letting us down tonight hard. Usually in the bats in the playoffs.

[bighat]

Buxton out, Berrios gives up a HR to Judge....

 

Are the wheels off boys? Are we watching a team that's finally hit the death throes after great, overachiving season? 

[Danchat]

Don't wanna be captain hindsight here, but I was OK with Santana staying in because Berrios doesn't pitch well on the road, struggled against the Yanks here last week, and the ump is brutal. Ugh.

[Aggies7]

That 3 run lead feels like it was two hours ago

[gocgo]

Stick with Berrios.

[Riverbrian]

 

How very John Paul Jones!

This is like a 9 man football game in rural ND. You Lose key players and you run out of options.

 

4th inning and already one of 5 bench players out.

[Pius Jefferson]

new Yankee Stadium is completely unappealing.
