Buehrle used to pitch a very fast game. Put him opposite the slowest pitcher on another team … don’t know how that would work 

I always enjoyed the Silva/Buehrle matchups.  Get the ball, take the sign, rock and fire.  Less than 2.5 hours a game.

Sometimes even less than that

[PopRiveter]

C’mon. Double play ball Josh

[LVTwinsfan]

I guess I jinxed Archer

[Mill1634]

This is the exact type of thing that the Yankees always seem to take advantage of against the Twins. Please reverse that course here. 

[MMMordabito]

Real nice, Gordon!

[rwilfong86]

Woohoo! 

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow, that’s bad news bears stuff there

[Mill1634]

uh, great double play?

[bighat]

Horrific potential game-deciding error on Gordon there, saved by an amazing play by Polanco two plays later. Wow what a DP!

[PopRiveter]

Atta boy!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, that’s certainly A way to turn a double play. 

[mrtwinsfan]

rocco  you got lucky there

He got out of. It’s all good. But just in case … turn around three times, fast, spit once over your right shoulder, then your left shoulder, and throw a handful of salt in the air ?

I don't think anyone is upset that he's back, and I don't think anyone would be shocked to hear that he's DHing in one of his first game's back, but "complaining" about DH'ing in him game 1 back is completely justifiable, especially when the replacement is Nick Gordon AND you are ending up with one of your best left handed mashers on the bench. There is no doubt about it that the this makes the Twins worse. Just play him at SS tonight (and get Gary in the lineup) and DH Correa tomorrow. 

 

Anyone questioning someone who is "complaining" about that is just looking to flex power. It is a completely fair compliant. 

You choose to focus on one of the team’s best players being back as a good thing, or you can choose to complain about it. Like I tell my eight year old, it’s up to you if you want to be happy in life.

Amazing play by Polanco? You mean finding 2nd base, his position? Lucky they turned that one I think

[CRF]

Textbook! Well...Rocco's textbook.

[Mill1634]

Dick does it again. I went from no, to whatever, to hell no, to hell yeah within a span of 3.5 seconds.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right. 

 

I could be watching the game. 

 

I thought i was gonna accomplish something tonight....

[Mill1634]

Gotta send Buxton here. Runs are going to be hard to come by against Nestor and the Yankees "A" bullpen arms.

I think 2 shots of tequila would work just as well

[Mill1634]

Thought Buxton was going to end up on third easily after Judge Stanton overran the ball.

Spit over my shoulder too while you’re at it. Just to be extra safe

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Twins, good chance to put a run or two on the board!

When is the last time Buxton stole a bag against a left hander? As a mater of fact, when was the last time he stole a base? We’re seeing a diminished player here. 

[PopRiveter]

Good. All the pressure is off now!
