July 2, 201610 yr I guess Plouffe plays better when his spot is threatened. I'd say that's a good reason to keep sending Sano out there. (There are plenty of better reasons, but we can add one more.)
July 2, 201610 yr Hit and runAlas, neither happened. Well, after Plouffe's at bat. On to a 10th inning.
July 2, 201610 yr That dang rule about using your best relievers only one inning at a time comes back and bites us again. Wish they'd change that. Edited July 2, 201610 yr by Aggies7
July 2, 201610 yr I guess Plouffe plays better when his spot is threatened. I'd say that's a good reason to keep sending Sano out there. (There are plenty of better reasons, but we can add one more.)As I've said elsewhere, I think there was actually a plan in the works here. Kepler becomes a full-time RF when Sano gets hurt, Plouffe starts getting playing time at other positions while Sano is playing third at AAA. When Sano is called up, Park goes down. Room to rotate Plouffe at 1st, 3rd and DH. Next would be sending Grossman down and bringing up Eddie Rosario. A youth movement sneaking up on us!
July 2, 201610 yr This just in: Buxton is fast And long-term, I'm not really worried about him at plate
July 2, 201610 yr Have we run out of jokes?Or should i dredge up one or two for extras? When in doubt, always go with a classic!
July 2, 201610 yr That dang rule about using your best relievers only one inning at a time comes back and bites us again. Wish they'd change that.Yeah texas used Matt Bush for two innings, I noticed. Oh well.
July 2, 201610 yr This just in: Buxton is fastAnd long-term, I'm not really worried about him at plateI just hope he starts learning where the wall is before he kills himself running into it.
July 2, 201610 yr Dear Byron, Please do not look down at your right wrist and flex it like that immediately after making a great catch against the fence and bracing yourself with said right wrist. It scares us. Sincerely, Twins Daily game thread denizens
July 2, 201610 yr Yeah texas used Matt Bush for two innings, I noticed. Oh well. Meh. If Rogers or Kintzler would have given it up someone would have put "why they send him out there for an another inning when you have an 8 man pen?" or tomorrow when Rogers is unavailable because he threw 2 innings tonight you would hear, "Thanks Mollie, great job wasting him yesterday."
July 2, 201610 yr This just in: Buxton is fastAnd long-term, I'm not really worried about him at plateHe's been making contact lately. The hits will start dropping in soon.
July 2, 201610 yr Buxton's defense is simply superb.Hope i getto see this amid post game high lights...
July 2, 201610 yr Meh. If Rogers or Kintzler would have given it up someone would have put "why they send him out there for an another inning when you have an 8 man pen?" or tomorrow when Rogers is unavailable because he threw 2 innings tonight you would hear, "Thanks Mollie, great job wasting him yesterday."Eh, I don't know about that. Abad pitched yesterday and poorly. One of those two guys could have gone one more. Not that it matters.
July 2, 201610 yr Meh. If Rogers or Kintzler would have given it up someone would have put "why they send him out there for an another inning when you have an 8 man pen?" or tomorrow when Rogers is unavailable because he threw 2 innings tonight you would hear, "Thanks Mollie, great job wasting him yesterday."Totally agree
July 2, 201610 yr I simply cannot fathom how major league hitters cannot bunt. Although it may just be our team.
July 2, 201610 yr Welp if we're going to praise his defense, we have to acknowledge that was an atrocious at bat.
July 2, 201610 yr I don't even know how many losses this is, 50some, but God almighty that was a wretched bottom of the 10th inning. So tired of the same junk.
