That kind of walk-off is exceedingly rare.

That's why he's a hall of famer

[ashbury]

You know, I was always bullish on Berrios but really, I'm starting to believe I wasn't bullish enough on the kid.

 

Never underestimate the type of kid who cries when he's drafted, posts absurd offseason workout videos, and studies the game like a fiend.

 

He's a gamer at a level we rarely see.

I dispute the notion that he has done enough for election to the Hall.

[Danchat]

Joe is 0/6 since his 2,000th hit...

[RaoulDuke]

Next years "big baseball excursion" .... North Korea.

 

Tim Kurkjian - So President Kim what can you tell us about the rich baseball tradition in your country?

 

Kim Jong Un - Puerto Rico

BABIP is a B****

[Craig Arko]

Which means its possible you are your own ancestor.

[Cap'n Piranha]

If the Twins are the home team, why is the ballboy in an Indians uniform?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That's why he's a hall of famer

winner

Nobody cares about the 2001 hit

[Craig Arko]

Nobody cares about the 2001 hit

It’s a baseball odyssey.

Check back with me in July.

[Platoon]

A player who gets three of those while playing full-time catcher gets to drop the mic, as far as I'm concerned.

This!

Yet another reason Joe is unique. Loads of players stumble before their landmark hit. Joe stumbles after it.

Yes. My god, so much yes.

 

He's literally the only person to ever walk this planet who can say "three batting titles as a catcher, suck it, haters".

[Huddy]

I guess Gregg Poppovich's wife passed away today =(

[BoofBonser]

 now they're turning it into a Puero Rican history lesson
"Christopher Columbus discovered Puerto Rico in 1493 on his second voyage" 

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Yes. My god, so much yes.

Wrong.  Everyone who's ever walked on this planet can say that.  Mauer is simply the only one who isn't lying when he does.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Memo to Twins lineup:

 

 

 

Score some runs maybe

 

or, like, 1 run

[Squirrel]

 

Some say she is on an island somewhere composing a symphony reflecting the highs and lows of being a baseball fan.  I have also heard she is in jail.  

The former sounds nice, but I'm betting it's the latter.

 Discovered. Not a soul knew it was there before. Except the people who had been there for........

[twinssouth]

Berrios looks tremendous, bats look like garbage

[RaoulDuke]

Really Molitor is pulling him?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

They are pulling Berrios

 

 

To quote a Puerto Rican expression: Uff-da

[notoriousgod71]

God dammit, Molitor, how much more locked in could anyone look? Win the game. This isn't little league.

[h2oface]

Morrison and Grossman. Black holes have nothing on them.

[Mill1634]

Not sure I understand pulling JO here. 

[AZTwin]

What the hell! You can’t pull him at 85 pitches in a 0-0 game

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Wrong.  Everyone who's ever walked on this planet can say that.  Mauer is simply the only one who isn't lying when he does.

Well played.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

It’s a baseball odyssey.

Cue the kettle drums and brass section.

 

He is saving it up for something special me thinks.

[ashbury]

oh, no. I'm talking about the 4th inning ground out run that holds up til the end.

I was hoping for a little more love for the mental image of a walk-off DP. Runners on first and third, no outs, and the defense decides to go for two while the winning run scores^{_{... *crickets*}}
