Where did Buck hit that?  Dead away center?  107.8 MPH with an xBA of .810

I'm sure he's eaten that a time or 2

He wouldn’t be a good Québécois if he hasn’t

If you think about it, it is actually pretty difficult to have 3 doubles, 4 singles and a walk in 5 innings and only score 2 runs. Twins have left 6 on base though 5.  Sheesh, if only they had someone that could hit in the clutch consistently....

Just left of center.

Routine fly ball, short of the warning track. 

There's no way that is a hit 81 percent of the time.

Bremergasm over oppo base hits.

Kiriloff to himself on 1st:  <'Oh well, it'll look like a liner in the box score'>

Bremer:  "27NYY, b******s!!!"

When Polanco returns, does Eddie go back to St. Paul? The Twins need to make some decisions. The have been putting off hard calls for quite a while now.

Honestly, I can't see it. It will probably be about August 1st, and a lot can change in two weeks, but if Julien continues to hit like he has they can't send him down.

[Squirrel]

Pull him, pull him now … Gray is a 5-inning pitcher

[USAFChief]

Uncomfortable lead

 

[RickOShea]

That walk is a product of the pitch clock, IMO.  No time to collect himself.  He just got more determined to throw a strike and too stubborn to try something else.

[mrtwinsfan]

5th innings and Sonny dont agree

Most dangerous lead in hockey...

[RickOShea]

Paging Twins coach, Maki. Please go to the courtesy phone.

[Parfigliano]

Suddenly cant throw a strike 

[USAFChief]

2 sac flies, please.

[SwainZag]

Just need a little 4-6-3....

[USAFChief]

Buxton misses that pitch.

[cHawk]

Can you imagine if baseball was played in the jungle? It sounds interesting, but it unfortunately would never work—there are too many cheetahs.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Sonny sure found a great time to go to pieces.  NOT.  Hope he can get out of this with no more damage. 

[LaBombo]

Sonny really making the most of the "Both Starters Go 9 or Your Money Cheerfully Refunded' promotion at T-Mobile tonight.

[Parfigliano]

Nuts!

[Aggies7]

Gray keeps having inexplicable melt down innings 

[2wins87]

How many times this year has Sonny been cruising only to completely lose his control in the 5th or 6th?

[RickOShea]

Is he going to retire after this season?

[USAFChief]

Sonny gets strike zone shy. Trust your stuff

Not any more.

AARGH. 

[cHawk]

Sonny is showing less than 5 shades of gray. I wanted to see all 50!

Well no. It's not a lead.
