Julien's rep was good hitter, shaky fielder. He looks shaky at both.

2-4 today with a double. Going to K and walk,, because he likes going deep in counts looking for something he can drive.

[KirbyDome89]

Is Nick Maton Detroit's version of Max Kepler? Stay tuned....

[jkcarew]

Horrendous AB by Buxton. Not one pitch close to the K zone…and there never was going to be a pitch close to the K zone.

[Tlaker]

Dazzle said Buxton wasn’t prepared at all… wasn’t warming up swinging a bat or anything to get ready      sigh

[Parfigliano]

How about a clean inning after scoring for a change

[Aggies7]

Iron Man Brock Stewart

[RpR]

Taylor will win it in the ninth with a home run, assuming the Twins keep the lead.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kirilloff hangs on.

BB is 0-22 against Detroit pitching this year…. that’s why they didn’t bother putting him on… just pitch him out of the zone and he will get himself out 

[Aggies7]

Keystone cops out there

Why throw strikes to a guy that swings at and tries to pull everything?

More like Detroits version of Julien.

For those not watching, Kitilloff replaces Buxton in the batting order and Gallo in Right Field, and Taylor bounces off him as both converge on a deep fly.

[Dave Borton]

Near collision. 

Once again, musical chairs lineup lends itself to this stuff, when someone ends up hurt.

Pretty sure Keystone Cops woulda dropped it, as that woulda been funnier.

 

But the resemblance is marked. 

[Parfigliano]

Good bullpen job by Balazovic and Stewart.

[Robert Floren]

Time for a big inning Twins.

How many years in the league? You have to know they’re not going to challenge you there. The move by Rocco was…I’d rather have MAT face the lefty than Gallo. Which was the right way to go. Doesn’t mean MAT would have succeeded…but he would have gotten at least one good pitch. Buxton was never going to get a good pitch.

Edouard Julien will hit a home run here.

[LewFordLives]

I know Vasquez isn't a speed demon, but you gotta run that out a little harder.

Though now i consider it, video quality is a lot better. And Keystone cops had different uniforms.

Not quite, but I'm pleased with the outcome.

[cHawk]

Situations like these are why we paid Correa the big bucks.
