Good at-bat for Kirilloff, not a great result.

Sometimes you eat the bar...

If Texas gets 3 more hits without scoring, their line score will be ours backwards.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right, i joined en medias rays as it were.

 

I need to go back and read the intro, not to mention catching up on the thread as a whole.

 

Sorry for my remiissness.

[LVTwinsfan]

Wow, Ranger pitcher is jealous

[Mill1634]

middle infield showing off their defense tonight (for one team, anyway)

[stringer bell]

That was an easier play for Correa, but they made the play anyway.

[Nine of twelve]

Perkins talking about throwing the ball to first on a bounce because it speeds up the ball. ?

I can't believe anyone actually thinks this is true. If this actually happens you could underhand a ball on turf and it would gain speed with each bounce until it blasts a hole in the fence. True, a bounced throw slows down a little bit less than on grass but it does not speed up.

Maybe but you can’t let that go if you can reach it

[stringer bell]

Jeffers needs a hit next time to get to the Mendoza line.

[MMMordabito]

Good read, Jeffers! 

More clown assists too.

[Aggies7]

This game is going so well but man I simply despise games played on turf

I’m going to watch this game in black and white to get the true gray experience

Wait, is this an option?

 

Or do you have a special knob on your tv i don't?

Arraez would have to go hitless in his next 216 at-bats to get to the Mendoza line.

Clowns should be able to read the audience better...

Their face paint isn't up to par neither

[stringer bell]

Again, leaving too many ducks on the pond.

 

Hoping for a reverse jinx.

Nope.

[Aggies7]

Oh my god what a catch

[stringer bell]

He's still one helluva center fielder!

[Mill1634]

oh my god buxton

[LVTwinsfan]

Gordon needs to just get out of the way

Now that's presentation!

 

How long was everyone's eyes glued.

On the glove to see he actually caught it, and on the whole situation to make sure he was okay...

 

He would make a master clown, a Globe Trotter level one.

[Squirrel]

Wow ... holy moly ... what. a. catch!

[Aggies7]

Might be the greatest first 4 innings of defense in twins history. Highlight reels every inning 

[Schmoeman5]

Buxton will be off tomorrow after the slide into 3rd and his catch into the wall

[Tlaker]

Sorry to take the discussion off the rails…but I just can not listen to Gladden’s play by play. It’s just so bad

thst’s all. I’ll hang up and listen

No kidding ... and I want the Twins to break the ****ing bank and sign Correa longterm

Lol ... see if you can pick up the Rangers airwaves and listen to them instead

Perhaps, from a game playing point of view, sure.

 

But it added just that bit of misdirection. And he was there to offer a hand up...

 

Like asking Teller not to mess with Penn.

(or was it the other way around?)

He’s not too horrible. Mispronounces a lot, but Provous is so good though, we can’t complain too much

[CRF]

Helluva grab by Buck. Just amazing. He probably deserves a day off tomorrow. Just don't sit CC too.
