Damn. That was a pitch Buxton should own.

[AussieG]

Buxton not even fouling off pitches, hopefully just a mini slump

What do historians call the 30 some years between? DC?

I don't know.

 

My impression was there weren't 30 years between them. 

Granted, these are historians with the benefit of hindsight, and not th folk at the time reckoning it this way.

What will Buxton do?

Nothing of significance. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nicely done, Mr. Thielbar.

Should, but seldom does any more.

[mnfireman]

Who's this Thielbar guy?? He might be OK....

Alas, not at that at bat.

 

But there is plenty of season left.

I am cautiously optimistic.

I couldn't find all of the conversation, but there are not 30 years in between (because AD is not what many people think.)

I wish Brian Bass had pitched like Anthony Bass.

He tried his best - fastball down the middle. Buxton's bat just managed to dodge it.

30 year interval= standard mortgage

[Squirrel]

Okay ... more runs now!  

[Montdak]

Bremer points out this Sandy Leone only frames certain pitches.   I like.  I’ve always thought framing pitch after pitch only points out to the umpire that you’re framing pitches.

[stringer bell]

More than a bit concerned about navigating the eighth inning.

Um... isn't Toronto at bat?

That's what I thought as well...

[RickOShea]

Jax will give up some runs, here

 

[mrtwinsfan]

Leon and Kirk , look like twins

It was a qucik half inning, and we all seem to be on slightly differing delays for whatever reason....

[stringer bell]

I really wonder if it is wise to use Jax on consecutive days. 

[h2oface]

Another 0-2 hit. 

[RickOShea]

sharp single, walk, no outs.................Jax warming up to implode, here.  Yank him, now!

 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Here we go again!  UGH!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Set up for the rare triple play...

[mnfireman]

I hope Duran or Lopez is getting loose, Jax looks a little erratic

[h2oface]

Back to back nights for Jax and Duran,,,,,,, this should be telling as to how good these guys really are.

[RickOShea]

Do you think Lopez is on Rocco's radar?  30 pitches last night?
