GAME THREAD: 4/6/21 Minnesota Twins @ Detroit Tigers, 12:10 CDT

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright.

 

Only 1 run down.

 

Buxton, you know what to do!

[adjacent]

And then Gameday showed 2 #3 pitches to Cabrera. I thought throwing 2 baseballs at the same time was illegal.

[operation mindcrime]

Hopefully we can string some hits together starting with Buxton!

[MMMordabito]

Damn, Thielbar, do work!

[Muppet]

 

And then Gameday showed 2 #3 pitches to Cabrera. I thought throwing 2 baseballs at the same time was illegal.

That is now allowed in extra innings. 

[LaBombo]

 

You wouldn't happen to know if the remake was any good?

I never bothered to watch it...

 

There was a remake?!?

 

Ugh... ok, fine, I watched it.  A little of it. My hotdog fingers selected it by accident on the Roku remote. The opening credits seemed nice for a direct-to-video movie.  I watched 5 minutes hoping for an Ally Sheedy cameo and moved on.

[USAFChief]

hahaha the left fielder never even moved.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Buck!!!!!

[LaBombo]

 

Alright.

Only 1 run down.

Buxton, you know what to do!

 

No fair, you were peeking!

[operation mindcrime]

Alright.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That'll do, Buxton, that'll do.

[Danchat]

 

And then Gameday showed 2 #3 pitches to Cabrera. I thought throwing 2 baseballs at the same time was illegal.

I saw that, apparently one was a slider and the other was a curveball. That's a scary combo right there!

[USAFChief]

"tunnelling."

[sampleSizeOfOne]

No fair, you were peeking!

Buxton gets full credit for that one.

[jun]

Buxton should be batting 2nd everything game from now on if he's healthy.

[LaBombo]

 

That'll do, Buxton, that'll do.

 

'...Co-starring the delightful James Cromwell as Buxton's adoring mentor, Rocco...'

'...Co-starring the delightful James Cromwell as Buxton's adoring mentor, Rocco...'

 

Should they name a candy bar after him? Or am i getting ahead of myself?

[Puckett34]

SSS but its nice to see Buxton start a season HOT.

[USAFChief]

 

Should they name a candy bar after him? Or am i getting ahead of myself?

eh, Cromwell's a fine actor, but I doubt anyone's considering naming a candy bar after him.

[LaBombo]

We have the Tigers right where they want them, facing the awesome might... quality arms... edge-of-your-seat competence of the Twins' bullpen.

[mrtwinsfan]

Whats worse, Walks , always haunt

[MNT1996]

 

Buxton should be batting 2nd everything game from now on if he's healthy.

 

Yeah I'd really like to see him batting 2nd or 3rd.

 

Arraez

Polanco (or Buxton)

Buxton (or Polanco)

Cruz

Donaldson (please stay healthy)

Kepler

Sano

Garver/Jeffers

Simmons

[TFRazor]

Just catching up with the action. Question for the universe, is that where Buck is just going to start parking his homers now? 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

eh, Cromwell's a fine actor, but I doubt anyone's considering naming a candy bar after him.

How does his work compare with John Candy?

[jun]

 

Yeah I'd really like to see him batting 2nd or 3rd.

Buxton (or Polanco)

Polanco is not hitting and he should bat much lower in the order.

[mrtwinsfan]

Twins have started out being pretty good with 2 outs and hitting, gonna be hard to count on,  wish we could at least see a EFFORT in advancing runners, old school here to many strikeouts, 

[LaBombo]

 

eh, Cromwell's a fine actor, but I doubt anyone's considering naming a candy bar after him.

 

Never say never. He's British. They still drive on the wrong side of the road and, instead of just saying something simple like 'And there it is', still say something crazy like "Bob's your uncle!"

[USAFChief]

Call me crazy, but I liked it better when Arraez was getting on base 5 times a game.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hope we see Cruz - again in the 10th

[chaderic20]

 

Yeah I'd really like to see him batting 2nd or 3rd.
