Hometown bounce off the wall!

Holding Buxton? Buxton can't score from second with a jump and speed, but Grossman can? No harm as it turns out, but I don't get it. The Angels would have scored 2 on Sano's hit. It wasn't hit too hard for Buxton to score!

I guess that makes up for the ladder ball in Fenway last week.

[Darius]

Good call to hold him. But, man, an inside the parker would've been fun.

Yes it was. Wait until the video is available and watch it. You'll see what I mean.

I like baseball.

[h2oface]

that was an inside the park. New third base coach! This is way too conservative.

[kydoty]

How could Dick and Roy forget Jim Thome's triple back in 2010?

[wsnydes]

Yes it was.

Especially when he had to hold up to make sure it got through.

[Darius]

So far we've seen Buxton, Sano and Kepler go opposite field this inning.

....and a Rosario walk...did I slip into an alternate dimension?

[h2oface]

 

Yes it was.

 

Never know now. No need to actually use Buxton's speed, I guess.

[wsnydes]

Good spot for Polanco to get off the schneid.

The Twins are a Polanco double away from knocking Bundy out.

Three or four lifetimes ago I coached a team against the Blossoms. Had a helluva time trying to fire up my guys to take on the Blossoms. Bunch of pansies.

These guys are Blossoms, too.  Although they're the "Brave Blossoms," so I suppose that makes a difference.

 

 

[yarnivek1972]

Almost...

[Darius]

Big inning. Hopefully that snaps the collective lineup out of the recent funk.

That makes two runners you would have gotten thrown out at home this inning. Talk about a rally killer!

[yarnivek1972]

Castro dinger?

[Blake]

Flashes of the future of the Twins. The young core comes through.

He wants to show the Orioles this new thing he just learned about. It's called the "double steal."

[wsnydes]

Wouldn't want to shut them down now would we...

Actually, never had a chance to listen to Smalley much before. I'm enjoying him. Seems to share a good grasp of what's going on and relaying it well.

He has moments where he's pretty good. He also has moments when he's spewing nothing but BS. His explanation of Sano dropping the ball in the first was the latter.

And, unfortunately, Smalley will continue to talk the subject beyond the point where the audience starts to nod off.

If there's one thing I don't like it's that he definitely gets wordy. But he does know what he's talking about, and some of the technical stuff is pretty interesting.

[70charger]

Moar popups!

Moar popups!

Strikeouts work for ya?

Ks are good too, I guess.

[wsnydes]

When Bundy misses the plate, he really misses the plate.
