So let's see if the Duffmeister can give us a reasonably clean inning.

So much for that.

 

Sigh.

[SwainZag]

Man, Duffey is so frustrating to watch.  His stuff is so good when he's on, and then on a dime he can't seem to find the strike zone.

[HawksNest]

Brutal. 

 

Let's go Duffey

[70charger]

 

So much for that.

 

Sigh.

 

First couple batters looked good...

[Circus Boy]

Just realized that we've won three straight. The last time that happened was June 13-15. But the good news is, we ended up with a winning record in July of 13-11.

I think he just wanted a little challenge. We got this.

Unfortunately, there are more than a couple of outs per half inning.

[Blake]

Way to gut it out, Mr. Duffey.

[obtusebanter]

Wicked breaking ball.

Easy - peasy.

[FlauerPauer]

That was a big time comeback by Duffey.

[Mill1634]

Add some more runs boys! Give Romo, Dyson, and Rogers the day off

[VATwinsFan]

Our ol' buddy Kinley --  lots of hits, lots of walks, lots of strikeouts.

[TwinsCD]

 

This is the first time in Buxton's short career that I've actually felt some confidence that he's not going to strike out on the curve ball away. 

 

 

This comment aged well over the last 2 ABs.

That garbage is at the base of a garbage/recycling container that is NOT full. Yeah. And that's what happens at this thing ... just toss and walk. At the end of the weekend, the refuse is unbelievable.

[Blake]

Watching Romo spot the ball high and away on the corner then come back and catch the low inside corner is something else.

And that's just the bums on the street!

 

Bada bum, tish...

An attempt was made.

 

Maybe.

 

Probably not.

Out of all the acts you pick to call garbage you pick her? The girl can sing.

ROCCO , WHY IS CRUZ IN THE GAME AFTER GETTING TO 1B??

[operation mindcrime]

Duffery's inning: 28 pitches 15 strikes

 

Romo's inning: 13 pitches 10 strikes

It's like night and day!

[Puckett34]

 

ROCCO , WHY IS CRUZ IN THE GAME AFTER GETTING TO 1B??

I'd assume he would have been pinch ran for if he made it to 2nd.

[mrtwinsfan]

Oh now i see= lol

[VATwinsFan]

 

It's like night and day!

It's a miracle!!!!!

[SwainZag]

 

ROCCO , WHY IS CRUZ IN THE GAME AFTER GETTING TO 1B??

 

Well he isn't going to put Garver out there and the only other option is Marwin, who I am guessing he doesn't want to burn in case of an injury anywhere else on the field.  Need another bench bat.

[wsnydes]

 

ROCCO , WHY IS CRUZ IN THE GAME AFTER GETTING TO 1B??

If you're going to PR for a guy that just PH while he's on 1B, why not just PH the would be PR?  If he was in scoring position be more inclined to agree with you though.

[VATwinsFan]

Alrighty then, Dyson for the save! (hopefully)
