[Blake]

 

I have a coffee table with a force field around it. Anytime I try and set anything on it the object gets thrust back into my hands. And sometimes I hear this angry voice...

 

Weird.

I see you got your coffee table the same place I got mine...

[Don Walcott]

Come on, Big Mike!!

[bighat]

C'mon Big Mike, just get out of this inning and we can give the ball to the 'pen.

[bighat]

Phewf.

[Don Walcott]

Great job battling Santana!!

[Blake]

Send Pineda out for the 6th or turn the game over to the Rock Sold Twins bullpen?

[bighat]

Max is due.

[Jham]

How close is Buxton to hitting?

[ashbury]

Hamstring for Cave?

(I know better than to offer two alternative explanations.)

[dex8425]

Why pinch run Wade for Cave there? Is he hurt?

[mrtwinsfan]

[Don Walcott]

Max is due.

For a bit of luck!!

[ashbury]

Kepler's gonna get a fine from the Kangaroo Kourt for momentarily giving up on that flare he hit.

[bighat]

Poor baserunning by Max, what was that?

[Don Walcott]

Hip, hip!!

[ashbury]

... Jorge!

[mrtwinsfan]

Hip Hip

How close is Buxton to hitting?

 

Not imminent, says Rocco. Won't be this series for sure.

[Don Walcott]

Work him, Nelson!!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Why pinch run Wade for Cave there? Is he hurt?

looked like a hammy coming out of the box

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Hip Hip

Jorge!

[Don Walcott]

Please, no.

[bighat]

Oh man Cruz and his wrist again. Big trouble. No.

[Aggies7]

We’re dropping like flies!

[Hawkeye12]

Wade now has four career runs scored and still zero career hits.  Wonder what the record is for something like that to begin a career.   

[ashbury]

Plutko is completely not hitting his spots now.

[Don Walcott]

Damn

[MNT1996]

That shot of Cruz in the dugout did not look good. I think we need to get prepared to not have Cruz for a while. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Well the inning started good anyway

[Don Walcott]

I would have Cruz get some ice on it and take the rest of the night off.
