Damn. That fly ball was shorter than my Maine Coon on all fours (about 15 inches)

[rwilfong86]

Random stat: Arraez is 3/3 so far today. 

[RickOShea]

Unbelievable.  Buxton takes the royals to school.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It’s easy to forget just how much fun it is to watch a healthy Buxton play baseball. 

[USAFChief]

Bloop to short right, wild pitch, advance wrongly on ground ball to SS, score on sac fly to deep 2nd.

 

Twins baseball!

Bad baserunning by Buxton exceeded by a bad decision by the SS exceeded by the poor throw by the SS.

Witt thought Buck was going to a pull off one of his Byron Slides™️ and it would be an easy out.

With buxton's thought processes and speed, you have to expect the unexpected.

[jkcarew]

If only we could keep him while also acquiring Pablo Lopez. I guess you can't bake your cake and eat it too.

Buxton: did I do good, Skip?

Rocco:  Yes, now go sit down, before you hurt yourself.

The Marlins broadcast team and their GM absolutely love him because of his attitude and his love for the game, as a Twins fan it makes me happy and sad at the same time. 

[RickOShea]

Rocco:  somebody, bubble wrap, Buxton, STAT!!!!!!!!!!!

The thing is, though, you can.

The same reason you were reading Penthouse in shop class.

Looking for a photographic image of “solidly built”.

Can you overnight Fedex a couple to me?

[USAFChief]

Gallo is going yard starting yet another DP here.

[ashbury]

Wonder who gets a full game at 2B sooner this season, Gordon or Farmer?

I mean, I guess you can.

But is it socially acceptable?

Pitchers best friend.

[Craig Arko]

This pitching and defense ploy is not without merit.

I was just thinking the same thing. They've been nearly flawless (minus the Miranda error).

[cHawk]

Kepler hit that ball to Detroit. Hopefully the Tigers will save it for when the Twins visit.
