Not a bad pitch. Wish the Twins could hit that one over the fence.

 

On second viewing it had more of the plate than I first thought.

[Ultima Ratio]

1-4 in extras this year. Wonder why that is.

[LaBombo]

Well, it beats giving up the homer to Uggla. Sort of.

[mikeee]

what fun would it be if they were always easy wins... lol

[B Richard]

Part of me enjoyed seeing Plouffe get hit in a weird way

[B Richard]

Run, it's the fuzz! Officer Doumit is on site.

[snepp]

I'm still partial to the Manchumit.

[snepp]

Well that's wonderful, Morneau'd.

[Physics Guy]

That looked worse than Morneau's but you just never know.

[Ultima Ratio]

That's why helmets should have straps.

[Physics Guy]

Not that I want this, but I sense a DL trip for Trevor. Carroll to 3B and Colabello up?

[Guest USAFChief]

This umpire is pathetic.

[stringer bell]

The collision did not look good, but he was able to walk off the field under his own power, FWIW. Sad to say, but Trevor's the third best offensive player on the team right now.

[Physics Guy]

This umpire is pathetic.

 

Haven't seen all of the game, but I would concur that this zone is not very consistent. Smalley seems to agree.

[jay]

Why not bring Perkins back out for the 10th? He didn't go through a lot of pitches there in the 9th...

[nicksaviking]

The Braves suddenly need lefty relievers, is Duensing auditioning?

[Oldgoat_MN]

If the Twins won all their extra inning games they would have a kinda decent record.

[howeda7]

Perkins blows 1st save. Plouffe out at least a month. Minnesota sports. Great, just great. Someone go guard Adrian Peterson please.
