And to think Buxton was Heralded to have all the talent ++  Acuna has, ,

These situations are why Correa gets $30 million a year.

[Kummel]

Just heard Bremer say Stewart has elbow issues. OH NO, say it ain't so.

Elder's a sinkerball pitcher. Perkins says he's been struggling with his control.  Am I missing something?

No.  He's walked some and the hitters have also helped him swinging at balls out of the strike zone. Vasquez and Correa notably 

[Blyleven2011]

Still some game left but the outs keep coming in crucial  times ...

Time for a little stiffer drink this time

The last time I asked my boss for $30 million, he laughed at me and said, "Hit and play like correa, and we'll talk".

seems like every time a twins batter gets the count in there favor, they always swing thinking pitcher gotta grove it,  this braves Junk baller still never gives em a meatball, 

[Kummel]

Not right then.   They might have talked about Stewart earlier in the broadcast though (tuned in late).

Gallo's batting average will soon pass Buxton's.  Book it.

[Schmoeman5]

Leads with 14 double plays , maybe Correa hasn't quite got his swing back ...

Another opportunity gone ...

[Aggies7]

Nobody unravels threats quicker than the twins. Good grief

I was under the impression that he was feeling sexy at the plate again. Probably about as sexy as I feel coming out of the dentist’s office

2 guys on no outs goes to 3 outs in 6 pitches or less.  Often.
