Hopefully Ober settles down. Need some length out of him this start.

Julian’s ready to go!

Sorry don’t know why it triplicated.  

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Vaughn, another pest. This is an annoying team despite the 6 wins.

[CRF]

Ok...so all this is, is another game we need to come from behind to win.

[ashbury]

Way to waste the leadoff single.

 

[Aggies7]

Ohhhhh boy 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Geez. Another CS for Buck...

[CRF]

Oh oh...looks like Buxton maybe just did a hammy.

[Azviking101]

It’s time to retire. 
not trying to sound like an ass but it’s over.

Really? Ugh. Ugh.

Bye bye byron

whyd you have to go?

[Parfigliano]

Buxton pull something.  WTF with this ump and the power trip telling Buxton to get off the field when he clearly pulled up injured while running

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

We're going to get an extended look at the Manuel Margot Experience in centerfield, aren't we?

Adios Byron, joining Royce on the IL. 

I think it has a lot to do with the guy being asked to steal on three pitches in a row. Not that a normal athlete shouldn't be able to do that, but Buxton hitting the "turbo" button 3 times within a 1 minute time frame is bound to snap something. 

Very unfortunate. Wish Larnach could have put one of those balls in play.

Were you doing it on the phone? This site is so packed with adds that it can't even keep up on the phone. It's like wack a mole that never quits. Even with 1 gig/sec connection speed for me.

[ashbury]

Oof, Carlos Santana is a slow, slow human being.

[CRF]

Martin coming back up to replace Buck?

Probably over Martin to really rub salt in it

MLB really needs to figure out some way to discipline the umpires the same way players and managers are, could you imagine the suspension for a player yelling at an umpire to get up so the game can keep going if he fell avoiding a ball?

What's the Ober/Under on number of games missed by Buxton after today?

Sorry, but I hadn't seen any Bailey Ober puns in a while.

[mickster]

DL for Bux would bring Martin back up...............not really another option at AAA as Wallner is still not hitting.

Hammies, presuming that's it, are tricky - I'd say 15 games and take the over.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nice bounce back inning by Ober.

Hope so.  Hope they put him in and let him play too.

[ashbury]

Major League play by Miranda at third base.  Maybe there's some hope.
