I suppose maybe we would play better if i were more dismal?

How do folk do this dismal thing?

You can take Buxton out of the game, but you can never take the game out of Buxton...

Surprised they waited this long.  You could tell he aggravated that knee on that foul tip

[cHawk]

Did Buxton get hurt?

[LVTwinsfan]

Good play

Watching on radio...he's not coaching 1st?

 

Welcome to TD.

There's a lot of money to be made betting on the under in Twins games.

Yes, 6 years ago, and still hurt

Apparently, his wife gave birth earlier today.

Took a pretty big cut in his last AB and his right knee buckled a little.  He walked it off but a pretty big grimace.  He then struck out looking on a pitch very outside.

Is today a day that ends with a ‘Y’?

Looking at Gamecast the ball could roll over home plate and it would be a strike.

No, tonight ends in a "t".

(I'm pretty sure this is a night game)

Gordon, Beckham, Leon due up.

3 for the month Kepler batting 5th. Against a lefty. Zero great hitters even when they're healthy. 

 

There's no there, there.

[SanoMustGo]

Beckham and Leon should set things up nicely for Arraez

[MABB1959]

What kind of managers/front office puts a .091 player as a DH?   Is that the best we have?

[LVTwinsfan]

Is there anybody that can hit for Beckham, how about Ryan or Archer?

Where is he tonight?
