SANO! I'm so happy for him. Legit goosebumps after that one knowing how relieved he probably is.

[yarnivek1972]

Even a blind squirrel...

SANO SMASH!!!!!! TAKE THAT HATERS!!!!!!!

haters? really?

[Blake]

As hard as I've been on Sano, the picture from the dugout said a lot. The guy looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders and it was just lifted a little bit.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

 

Top of the eight with no outs. The Twins have 4 more outs in which to win the game. 

Well I'm man enough to admit I was wrong.

[MNT1996]

 

haters? really?

 

Yes. There are many Sano haters here.

[Diesel]

Well, Sano... keep it up!

[mickeymental]

and the ol’ pitchfork goes back in the tool shed.

[Riverbrian]

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Axl Rose says... All we need is just a little patience. Or was it Tom Hanks? 

 

 

 

[Danchat]

Finally, Sano! FINALLY!!!!

 

Also, did anyone notice that Maldonado set up down and in and he threw it up and away? Not taking anything away from Sano, but that pitch wasn't even close to where it was supposed to be. Perhaps we can scratch Diekman off our reliever trade list.

[VATwinsFan]

Sano was just setting them up with all those Ks.

[tbhysgb]

I will say his 2 at bats looks like he’s at least trying to retool his approach.

[notoriousgod71]

 

Yes. There are many Sano haters here.

 

Most of us hate how he has played lately; we don't hate him personally.

[Blake]

 

make me look stupid, Sano.

 

 

Chief, I think that ship sailed long ago....

[yarnivek1972]

So, Astudillo or Garver in the OF?

 

Angels and ministers of grace, defend us.

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

Yes. There are many Sano haters here.

I don't think so. I think there are many critics here of a man who has not only not reached his potential but has substantially come short of his potential. We all want him to succeed, otherwise we wouldn't be so damned unhappy watching him strike out all the time!

[jorgenswest]

Trade target Diekman.

 

Maybe not.

[USAFChief]

Mitch Garver: "Uh, Skip...Willians is pinch running for me? Seriously??"

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yost brings in a lefty to face some slumping right handed hitters

 

Ok sure whatevs, we’ll take it

[Blake]

 

and the ol’ pitchfork goes back in the tool shed.

Nope. They were sent out to be sharpened. Just in case.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Here, you can borrow this:

I don't remember needing that...

 

I credit Chief's wrong proofs.

[yarnivek1972]

Mitch Garver: "Uh, Skip...Willians is pinch running for me? Seriously??"

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Now Schoop with a hard hit

[MNT1996]

Now this is how you bust through a slump. Let's keep it up

[Diesel]

Mitch Garver: "Uh, Skip...Willians is pinch running for me? Seriously??"

Protect GarvSauce at all costs

[USAFChief]

 

Chief, I think that ship sailed long ago....

nice. more age jokes.

[LaBombo]

Sano serves notice... he will punish optimism, pessimism, and baseballs without warning.

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

This is like the third time in three weeks I’ve turned on a game, and a homer has been hit within a couple minutes

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Most of us hate how he has played lately; we don't hate him personally.

Do we hate 3rd base?

[Mill1634]

KEPLER!!!!!!!!! Dude is MY All-Star
