I love small ball

I kinda like the three run homer!

[Craig Arko]

Earl Weaver ball has its place, too.

[Robert Floren]

Helll of a player there ===BUXTON

[Nine of twelve]

Dick, don't you know anything? The pocket fisherman was made by Popeil, not K-tel.

The Twins have had more than their share of three run bombs so far!!

[Aggies7]

Never any cheap home runs for BB

He didn’t like stolen base attempts, I don’t think

Actually, his last two (before this one) weren't tape measure shots.

[RickOShea]

I love watching the guys in the dugout ignoring buxton, if he isn't directly talking to them.

[Cris E]

Not to take anything away from Buxton's blow, but I didn't see any mention that Trevor Megill has been sent to Milwaukee for PTBNL and cash.  Lots going on today.

[Parfigliano]

At Metropolitan  that would be Killebrew territory 

[ziggy]

Buxton was 33 to 1 for league MVP in Vegas this spring.

earl had a few base stealers, like Don Buford, Al Bumbry, even Frank Robinson.  But he definitely didn't want to risk running into an out, with giving the 3 run hr a shot.

[rwilfong86]

Nice to see Gordon get a hit there

[Aggies7]

I was going to say I feel bad for royals fans but then I realized they’ve won a World Series more recently than 32 years ago 

[rwilfong86]

And Castro. Confidence booster

[Nine of twelve]

Three straight 2-out baserunners for a run. Approve!

[RickOShea]

Brady singer is definitely reaping what he sews.

[MMMordabito]

Gordon might be having a career saving game.

Every other team in the Central has played in a World Series since the Twins have last won a playoff game 🤢
