Hader doesn't throw as hard as he used to.

[Aggies7]

Unreal

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton two GIDP now, had that too

 

Still no Bingo

[ScrapTheNickname]

Add to the bingo card: Buxton grounds into 2 double plays.

Vargas has been a great pickup so far! 

ha ha.

[Aggies7]

How bad nobody bunted

[ScrapTheNickname]

This is getting tragic.

[USAFChief]

Well executed half inning there from the boys.

[MNT1996]

Buxton going to be on 2nd for next inning. All part of the plan

[Mill1634]

Twins with their first ever 2 batter inning

[jun]

 

ha ha.

For real?

[IndianaTwin]

On the bright side, Buxton will start the 12th on second. If we’re not going to score, the double play was a good thing. I’d rather have Buxton on second and Avila-Kepler-Polanco instead of Avila on second and Kepler-Polanco-Cave.

For real?

I mean he's kind of doing very pretty badly so far. SSS, of course.

[Mill1634]

KEPLER!!! What a catch!

[Aggies7]

What in gods name was jed doing

No kidding. Some not-major-league-level things are happening here ... I mean, is Alcala really pitching in this high-leverage situation?????

 

And then Kepler's A +++ catch!

Minor league rule, minor league play

[IndianaTwin]

YES!!!!!!

[Aggies7]

Haha alcala with the big time celly

[Mill1634]

ALCALA!!! Seeing some cojones on him right now!

[Brock Beauchamp]

THIS IS FUN

[MNT1996]

I would have preferred a no-hitter, but I guess this is fun as well. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ok, Steal of Home gets me a bingo, as does HBP w/ RBI

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

THIS IS FUN

Like the Giants when games were called Torture?

[rghrbek]

Haven't read what I am sure great posts.  Alcala has electric stuff.  Think our MOY has to remember these games are 2.5 games per game.  Actually at this point it could be argued greater.  Would have preferred less trust in a struggling Rogers...

 

Dick is the curse of death BTW just ask Dobby....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Almmost there...

 

stay on target...

[rghrbek]

If right handed batter steal buck...alas...

[rghrbek]

Avila may walk...but a hit?  he doesn't do that much

[MVP Nick Punto]

Anything interesting happen this game?

[IndianaTwin]

I seem to recall Mr. Kepler providing a festive ending to an exciting extra-inning game last year. This seems like a good time to reprise that.
