I'm so tired of plays like this being reviewed. Either team.

Out, I think.

tap tap..."this thing on?"

If the Twins would've hit a Boston base runner like that, they'd throw at the Twins star player 4 times over the next two games.

Mauer's up. It will be on now.

Hey everyone Mauer swung at the 1st pitch

Two awful strike calls in one AB for Dozier. That'll likely cost the Twins a run, here.

Pretty good #9 hitter.

what awful calls were that?

I'm surprised Rosario's hitting the 9 spot. He's been hot the last couple of weeks.

I can't emphasize enough how stupid it is that pitchers don't have to throw intentional walks anymore. Ridiculous.

 

What's even more ridiculous though, is Grossman hitting behind Sano.

 

Mauer's up. It will be on now.

average exit velocity dropped a bit.

The game seems to be absolutely flying by at blazing spee---- oh wait, that was just the new intentional walk.

what awful calls were that?

1st strike called was down and/or away. Didn't go on the third strike check swing.

Also, grammar.

I thought it was more of an awful AB.

 

Ditto Mauer and Grossman.

Not an optimal RISPy plate appearance by Grossman

No, Dick, having Buxton injured does not cause a problem for Molitor to get Vargas in the lineup. Quite the opposite. Just pure stupidity there

Ditto Mauer and Grossman.

Considering the only actual strike thrown, he plastered off the limstone wall at about 110 mph, 20 ft from a 2 run homer, I'm not going as far as calling it an awful AB. But, I get your point, it could've been better.

Is there some reason why the Twins didn't put Buxton on the concussion DL? Is he expected back this weekend?

Gut check for Hughes here. Good change up on 2-0 but lost the batter anyway.

Hughes hitting that 6th inning wall....

Best to nit look at the replay

Ouch. I've rolled an ankle before.

I thought it was a good Nishioka impersonation, though.

 

 

Glad Dozier is ok!

Last hitter for Hughes.

Gotta applaud Hughes, yet again.

 

What do you call a Latino country singer who tends to sing too fast?

Rapido?

Pop-up to center field...ten feet in front of the warning track. If a Twin hit that Dick would have said it was a drive to deep center.

Thinking about preparing my apology to Hughes.... not ready to make it official, however.
