Two walks and power from the left-handed swing... pretty good day for Hicks.

Agreed. Let's just hope this brings up the confidence too keep it rolling for the rest of the season... or longer.

Only problem now Florimon batting after him..

1 error, 2 rallies killed. Not Florimon's day I guess.

 

Or is it? I can't really tell.

1 error, 2 rallies killed. Not florimon's career i guess.

 

ftfy.

Pretty good day for Florimon, 3 balls put into play in 5 at bats and tries to put a little pressure on the bull pen with an "error" the inning before.

I was going to say something snarky but Ashbury and Willihammer topped anything I was going to say about Florimon.

Oh geez. Here we go...the Burton experience....I mean c'mon Jarod! We're behind you 100 percent.

At this point the only thing saving his job is the rest of the lineup over-achieving. A few days of the whole offense scuffling, and we'll see Escobar or (shudder) Nunez.

Man Burton is having a bad game/season

Oh geez. Here we go...the Burton experience....I mean c'mon Jarod! We're behind you 100 percent.

I can't fault you for misspelling Jared, he's been pretty forgettable.

Is there a rule that Tonkin can only get 1 out a game? Anyone wondering why people don't think Gardy uses rookies.....there's a use case for you.

omg, get him out of there!

Oh geez. Here we go...the Burton experience.

Did Perkins die?

Why is Burton pitching with the tying run on base?

I don't know what is going to happen against Zobrist, but the fact the Gardy keeps Burton in there is mind boggling.

Is a cardinal sin to bring Perk for a 4 out save?

Not sure which I dislike more, Bert for saying "Zobrith", or Dick for letting him.

Memo to Twins: when a guy's fastball velocity takes a nosedive, something is wrong.

I just can't watch this. I just can't.

Burton, eh....

Good God.

And this is why I wonder why Gardy doesn't wait to take out Colabello for defensive purposes until he's essentially guaranteed not to get another at bat. A two run lead is nothing.

Omg. He is terrible

%^&$%$ *%% *&%&^$ *&*%^^$ &$# (*%#$^ ^$# &* %$#@@ $!*(****** Burton.

Aint no thang

I can't fault you for misspelling Jared, he's been pretty forgettable.

 

Jared...yeah...that guy...100 percent!

"it worked, so it must have been a good decision"....ya, right.

I take back what I said earlier - this team is definitely winning on smoke and mirrors

Why is Burton pitching with the tying run in scoring position?
