Make him throw strikes.

For those of us who can't watch on TV, what's the present "On-field delay"?

Oakland never wins a wild card game,  Sox in 2

Except for 2006

[TFRazor]

C'mon luis

[Vanimal46]

The ump is squeezing this young Astros pitcher.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

I'll say one thing. Playoff baseball is SUCH a different animal than the regular season. Every pitch matters!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

The ump is squeezing this young Astros pitcher.

He badly missed his spot there.

[TFRazor]

 

The ump is squeezing this young Astros pitcher.

I mean, he's been squeezing everybody

[Aggies7]

You gotta get runs here. Simply no excuse 

[TFRazor]

Thank you, we'll take that.

[Brock Beauchamp]

God Arraez is hilarious in the box.

[LVTwinsfan]

I like the sprint to first on the walk

[LVTwinsfan]

I wish they would forget about Greinke

[Brock Beauchamp]

I like the sprint to first on the walk

Dude is AMPED. Love it.

[TFRazor]

I need a Buck-bash. Clear the bases buck

[FlauerPauer]

This seems like an opportune time to get a couple runs. Best part of the lineup coming up and this guy hasn't been throwing strikes.

[LVTwinsfan]

God Arraez is hilarious in the box.

you gotta love his energy

[USAFChief]

 

Except for 2006

hush, you.

Don't give him time to figure out where the zone is

[TouchEmAllGuy]

At least the ump is CONSISTENT.

[ashbury]

Make him throw strikes.

Buxton not heeding the advice there.

 

[Doctor Gast]

Valdez is having more difficulty w/ this ump than Zeinke. The ump has been pretty fair overall

[bighat]

Twins should be up by at least 2 right now, they've got to capitalize here and put this away.

[dex8425]

 

Except for 2006

Doh...

[John Kelsey]

Why ever throw Buxton a strike with the way he's approaching ABs right now?

[FlauerPauer]

Buxton should be bunting. Not for a sac, but to get on base. This is not his type of situation.

[Aggies7]

Now is not the time to revert back to outside the zone byron

[LVTwinsfan]

Buxton swinging at some bad pitches

[TwinsCD]

A little plate discipline from Bux would be nice.

[USAFChief]

hasn't been a pitch close to the zone, buck down in the count 1-2
