I think you’re not taking into consideration that for their careers, they are usually off the table, but just so happened to all be on the table at the same time the last two months of the season.

Like I said, they picked a bad time.

6 more outs left. I at least want contact for most if not all of them. Twins getting the pitching. Please don't waste it.

OK Hollywood...Buck comes in to bat for Taylor. Swats an 0-2 Kirk Gibson pitch over the wall to tie the game as the crowd goes nuts. In my imagination, I am seeing this. Hey, why not?

Again...the difference in quality of ABs is pretty stark. 

 

Please don't tell me MLBers are immune to pressure, or never succumb to the moment 

 

 

It's tough to immunize for the pressure the first time out. It's a process.

6   outs  left  use them sparingly please,  Hit the Ball

Blows out knee tripping over 3rd base because #MinnesotaSports.

I hope the Pohlads use this time as opportunity to send every Twins fan, Christmas Greetings.  The LCF scoreboard should work, nicely and is very cost effective.

Both hitting coaches Popkins and Hernandez need to let go!  Bring Rowson back!

Eh… the Bomba Squad is looking like a fluke. The Tigers, under his watch this year, finished with over 100 runs fewer than we did this year.

James Rowson? Because Detroit was only the 7th worst strikeout club this year?

I’d aim higher, but that’s just me.

[HokieRif]

Is this a Kirk Gibson moment? Roy Hobbs? Or is Buck going to make his own definition?

I'm sorry this is such a tired take. It's also flat out wrong. Look at the the performance of the offenses he had been a part of since leaving. Not good. Baldelli gets no credit for '19, but James Rowson does? Ridiculous

[insagt1]

well I called the pinch hitter correctly. I'd kinda love getting the 2nd part right.

2022 ALCS MVP Jeremy Pena says hi.

Corbin Carroll and Evan Carter are waiving

I’ll be a monkeys uncle if this works

Is that Royce Lewis over your shoulder? Why would we talk exceptions?

[Vanimal46]

Whelp. No magic from Buxton tonight. 

[howeda7]

Well that was as expected. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Well that was                   ???????????????????????????????????????????????????

[nicksaviking]

“Solano is the Twins version of Michael Brantley, he’s a professional hitter, he can go to all fiel…”

Rude Interuption:

”Strike three swinging, Solano goes down!”

[RickOShea]

Well, that was like flinging a wet diaper against the wall.

[Jocko87]

Very classy mound visit there. Glad Buck could get his ovation.

[insagt1]

Jeffers and Solano 0-6 with 5 k's. There are no words.

[Aggies7]

I can’t believe the guy who hasn’t played at the mlb level in months couldn’t get on base against the guy who hasn’t given up a run since july

Incorrect. I expected a strikeout. 

[Aggies7]

I’d just leave abreu in. Why bother with Pressly

[Vanimal46]

FS1 is just absolutely terrible at showing replays that matter at the correct time. 

[Hrbowski]

Go DBacks, I guess

To be fair, there hasn’t been much from this game I’d ever want to see again

[SwainZag]

The rest of the offense hasn't done a damn thing.   I don't mind the Buck move one bit.   The odds are against it, but why not?  2-3-4 coming up in the 9th.
