Buxton's RBI solidifies this as game of the year

Great close and late hit by Buck!

DFA BUXTON!!!

 

*facepalm*

Good to be on the other side of one of these.  I figured we'd get to Gausman.  Never tell me the odds!

Wheels!!!!!

Buxton ain't goin nowhere

Speed kills

Whoooooo!  Speed kills.

Why did I have to miss this game??

And that Buxton speed just stole another run (plus the Orioles crappy defense).  But by all means, let's send him off to Rochester.

Dang, Buxton is faaaast.

Yes Buck Yes! Love the passion and enthusiasm! Bring that fire!!!

I wonder if Britton really thinks he can shut down major league hitters by strictly throwing a 95 mph heater....sorry Zach, they've seen those before

Does this game remind anyone else of the game against the Tigers 2 years ago when we came back from like 6 runs right before the all-star break and went into the break hot as ever?

Great to see Buxton having some fun.

Still a save op?

Well... his ERA in the last 18 months iiiiiiis zero point something

Slam the door Kintzler!

Yes. Conga line on the base paths. I bet Bark has some choice graphics from that.

Taylor Rogers and Brandon Kintzler give a couple of decent late inning relievers. It would be great to have a couple more.

I WAS JUST THINKING THAT

 

unfortunately we pooped the bed after the ASB that year

Wife: didn't you turn this game off like 2 hours ago

 

Me: shut it

Dear Twins FO;

 

I would like to point out recent events that have taken place at Target field. Please notice who has taken a 6 run deficit and turned it into a 3 run lead. Yes, it is the youngsters. And one of the youngsters relieved a youngster who was struggling and kept the Orioles from further scoring.

 

Please, please, please, do not bring up Colon. This is not acceptable and is a regression from the current direction of the young talent.

 

Sincerely,

 

Blake

Funny story, my college roommate left that game in the 7th.  Haven't let him live it down yet.

My point being......he must have something else to offer too

Dozier's walk off was the greatest thing I'd ever seen... You coulda convinced my brain it was the World Series

Kintzler almost reminds me of Greg Maddux, the way he can bend his heater left or right and throw strikes. Not quite the surgical precision of Maddux, but Kintzler's stuff is very hard to read, and he keeps throwing strikes. 

Lol I love when teams steal by defensive indifference and Dick always says "(so and so) goes, Twins don't care)

As with most of Kintzler's saves, I start to tense up about now
