I feel so bad about not understanding why Buxton thumps his chest, does his choo-choo arm thrusts and his truck blow horn, when he gets a hit.  It must be a mind blowing tremendous out of body experience for him, when he gets a hit.

Honoring his truck-driving father, according to an interview on MLB Network's Saturday morning kids show.

Well, not our lead at least.

Does Oakland win 20 odd games to catch us in the standings.

 

That is a long inning...

[cHawk]

I greatly prefer 2020 Maeda to 2023 Maeda.

[mrtwinsfan]

Maeda  looks 10 years older each inning,

[RickOShea]

Stick a fork in him.

[wabene]

Maeda's velo is down after the break, not what I expected

[Parfigliano]

Old Fashioned time.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm not real confident about a comeback, given our utter incompetence against left-handed pitching. 

I hope I'm wrong, but that's what I'm feeling right now. 

[RickOShea]

So from a very small sample size, I'm saying the Twins go 2-5 on this road trip.

And he's thrown, what...maybe 5 fastballs?

Looked awful from the 1st hitter.

Wonderful turn of phrase.

 

That comes from baking, right?

 

If the fork comes out gooey, he comes out for another inning?

Don't worry, Buxton will never walk, run or play on it.

[USAFChief]

Maeda HAS to be done, right?

Rumor has it Dallas Kuechal  is hitting 89 mph,   what ya expect from Maeda ?

I really hope you're right.  I'd love to be wrong on this one!

[RickOShea]

Does Vasquez and his son share catcher's equipment?

3-4 or 4-3    Book it

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Beating out the double play is an under rated skill.

Wheels Vasquez

[RickOShea]

I overheard a Twins season ticket holder, tell the guy sitting next to him, that he's never been to a major league game.

[wabene]

Canelo Vasquez es en fuego!! 

[wabene]

à propos du temps

[Danchat]

Boom, Julien!!
