There's very little I hate more than swinging at the first pitch of an inning.

You probably make an exception when Mauer is the batter.

That's one way to avoid RISP issues.

Nope I always hate it. The only exception I make is sometimes in the top of the first

Bert's speculation about the wind has to be right. The way the ball left VARGAS!!!!'s bat, it looked gone from the beginning, yet barely made it out to right.

This is theoretical, correct?

Bux single, I'll take it.

Buxton's approaches look much, much better.

Mauer is too busy showing bunt on first pitch, so no chance there.

I hate when my feed falls behind and I get spoilers.

 

But I like this.

The tee shots and long irons need some work though.

Buxton is officially en fuego.

With that hit, Buxton raised his batting average .020 to .121. Progress !

You mean Joe "Aspirin" Mauer?

Man, these Texas announcers don't know what they're talking about.

Buxton!

The Spanish announcers do.

Not only that, but his wRC+ has moved into the black, at 1.

"6 strikeouts for Kazmir"

Yikes. Can we count that last one as a double. You know, because of the steal and all?

Man, these Texas announcers don't know what they're talking about.

Neither do i...

 

Is it worth knowing?

 

I am just basking in alead while i am paying attention for once.

Great to see Buxton hitting a curve.

How did we only manage 1 run off this fool.

 

You mean Joe "Aspirin" Mauer?

 

If he's aspirin' to hit the ball out of the infield, I'm all for it.

4 innings: Twins: 7 guys LEFT on base...........................................

Kepler takes a hittable strike then swinging out of the zone. C'mon. Get your pitch.

 

Ouch. Swings at another ball.

My god, many get out of jail free cards are we going to give this guy?

Good one, but no cigar.

If we don't win this one, we'll all know why

Buxton would need to get 25 hits in a row to be hitting .300.

That's the kind of the hole he is in.
