Okay, Lt. Dan

Hey, I'm sober! Right now, anyway, but I can't promise anything going forward.

Not a good looking slide from Buxton there.

And mess up the space/time continuum?  ARE YOU NUTS?!

[Vanimal46]

Technical difficulties. Good stuff Bally Sports!

[Aggies7]

Nick Gordon > Byron

[bighat]

Arraez is on FIRE.

Attaboy Gordon, nice 2-out hitting.

Liking the offense today.

[USAFChief]

Buxton scores on that

Thanks Lieutenant Dan.

[Unwinder]

Buck will be fine. The bases are larger now.

I thought Kirilloff was why we can't have nice things.

No no, you're thinking of Jim Pohlad.

Sano breaks slump. Calling it.

For your next act, LOP, could you call the end of the slump for Correa, Polanco, Kepler, Sanchez, Jeffers...?

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Bats coming alive today, great to see

[KirbyHawk75]

Twins are playing good and yet it feels like the Twins are losing with the injury.  Just bummed out.  And now fricking Jake Cave will most likely be called up.

I just consulted the wise oracle, Magic 8 Ball and the answer was... 

Very Likely

 

(Seriously...  I have one in my office )

Fitting that Sano’s first hit of the season is a BOMB!

Looks like your Sano BA over/under is a push

[Vanimal46]

NASA reporting a UFO leaving Fenway Park. That ball was launched off Verdugo’s bat. 

[USAFChief]

That nr 42 guy always just kills us.

Sis Boom Bah.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Is it possible that Sano is a TD lurker, and is pissed about the posts in the past couple days?

Did you see the article yesterday about Magic Johnson? Apparently, in the day, Nike made him a sponsorship offer (with stock options, etc.), that had he taken it, would have him at over $5.2B today.   https://www.basketballnetwork.net/old-school/how-magic-johnson-missed-out-on-5-2-billion-it-kills-me-every-single-time-i-think-about-that

They've got four OF on the roster besides Buxton if he goes on the IL, with Gordon apparently someone they can also plug in as needed.  I don't know what the equivalent of the Batsignal would be for Jake Cave, but there's no need for them to fire it up at the moment.

[shortround81]

I hate to be a buzzkill, but it looks like Dan Hayes from "The Athletic" gets credit as the slump buster

[bighat]

Some experts on Twitter are saying it looked like Buxton tore his ACL.

Oy. And I thought I was bad with money decisions.

Since bats live in caves, it would still be the bat signal, I would think.  Alternatively, it could be a bear signal.  Or a man signal works too.

I'm no doctor, but Buxton walked off under his own power.  Doesn't sound like an ACL tear to me.
