Did we win yet?

[Aggies7]

I sneezed and missed the top of the 1st

Well, I'll start with the negativity. No Buxton! So ... I guess it's not important to win this game now when we're a.350 team?

[cHawk]

Our hitters literally only care about collecting checks.

Phil Miller reported that he's out with patella tendinitis, which he's apparently been battling for most of the year. Hopefully it's just a day or two... Jake Cave in CF is... not ideal.

[Linus]

4-5 automatic outs in that lineup.

[cHawk]

Gee it would be nice to have Buxton out there in CF

[cHawk]

Watch them do nothing at all on offense this game.

Thank you. I didn't know that. No, Cave, Rooker, and Arraez in the outfield is not, er, ideal.

It's caused by playing home games on the turf in the metrodome...

and not having on field BP

[Aggies7]

how about we take a few pitches? 8 pitches and 4 outs

[MMMordabito]

JC .. Work an AB ... This is going to turn into another Brubaker-esque 50 pitches in the 6th.

[cHawk]

Attaboy

[Aggies7]

brent rooker home run lol and what a catch by the fan

[MMMordabito]

OK ... So, Rooker needs to be hypnotized into thinking every pitcher is Plesac and broke his arm.

[singlesoverwalks]

Not much conversation at first base between Eddie and Kirlloff?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Rosario 5 steals + Twins can't stop steals = Rosario runs.

[twins1095]

Kirilloff is crushing the ball for outs

[Mill1634]

Another shameless plug...I tried to figure out what has went wrong with Mitch Garver.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We got a lead. Hey cool.

[Mill1634]

Out

We got a lead. Hey cool.

Shh! You'll scare it away!

[twins1095]

Well deserved. Guy is gonna be spraying balls in gaps for years.

[Mill1634]

AK!!! About time he's rewarded, been CRUSHING the ball

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kirilloff!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Shh! You'll scare it away!

Hard to tell... Sometimes runs like company.
