Byron Buxton, ya done pretty good every at bat. Just keep it up!

[RpR]

According to gamecast all three strikes were really balls.

Yeah, probably.

 

I'll live with it if he gets the next one like that.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a fine plate appearance from Byron. Sometimes you get beat, especially if the ump has a big zone. 

[RpR]

Fair ball called foul, Sano gets a bs strike, seems the fates are not on the Twins side.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I can't jinx Mr. Albers any more, who can i jinx?

Part of the game...

And we could hold this lead. It may be we don't need them fates.

[RpR]

Please let the good Duff show up.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Duffy coming in with 1 on and 2 outs in the 8th.

Almost there...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nicely done, Mr. Duffy!

Are we being setup for another Colome blown save?

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a vintage Duffey curve. Damn.

[RpR]

Strike out but that umpire has an ethereal strike zone.?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Few more runs would not be taken amiss...

(A philosophical question... if it isn't a save situation, can you blow the save?)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And seeing what happened there, Mr. Buxton may have not appreciated the strike call, but he didn't get tossed.

 

Good for us.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Keep up the good work, Mr. Kepler!

Oh shoot, colome coming in for the 9th.

[RickOShea]

Some guys would have run hard to first, just in case.  But not Kepler, nope, no way.

[LA Vikes Fan]

You guys realize that after tonight, Andrew Albers will be starting every 5th day through the next month?

No way around that little factoid

[RickOShea]

Some guys would have stopped, and tried to avoid the tag, or at least break up the double play.  But not Kepler, nope, no way.

[RpR]

Colome's first pitch may say a lot.

Hurray!

If he keeps getting these results, that isn't a bad thing.

I also expect he is mature enough to take a bullpen assignment if they want someone else to start.

[RpR]

A reliably wierd umpire.

[RickOShea]

Boy, the Brewers gotta be super pissed at the home plate umpire.

[AceWrigley]

Colome strikes out the 1st batter? Wait just a minute, who is on the mound really!!??!!

[RpR]

He is starting to throw ground balls.

But he swung at it.?

[RpR]

OOOOH say can you see by the ball parks bright lights....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Buxton gets that.

 

Winnah!
