Byron Buxton, ya done pretty good every at bat. Just keep it up!

According to gamecast all three strikes were really balls.

even though they were balls, the umps been calling it all night so he shoulda swung

Yeah, probably.

 

I'll live with it if he gets the next one like that.

That was a fine plate appearance from Byron. Sometimes you get beat, especially if the ump has a big zone. 

Fair ball called foul, Sano gets a bs strike, seems the fates are not on the Twins side.

I can't jinx Mr. Albers any more, who can i jinx?

Part of the game...

And we could hold this lead. It may be we don't need them fates.

Please let the good Duff show up.

Duffy coming in with 1 on and 2 outs in the 8th.

Almost there...

Nicely done, Mr. Duffy!

Are we being setup for another Colome blown save?

That was a vintage Duffey curve. Damn.

Strike out but that umpire has an ethereal strike zone.?

Few more runs would not be taken amiss...

(A philosophical question... if it isn't a save situation, can you blow the save?)

And seeing what happened there, Mr. Buxton may have not appreciated the strike call, but he didn't get tossed.

 

Good for us.

Keep up the good work, Mr. Kepler!

Oh shoot, colome coming in for the 9th.

Some guys would have run hard to first, just in case.  But not Kepler, nope, no way.

You guys realize that after tonight, Andrew Albers will be starting every 5th day through the next month?

No way around that little factoid

Some guys would have stopped, and tried to avoid the tag, or at least break up the double play.  But not Kepler, nope, no way.

Colome's first pitch may say a lot.

Hurray!

If he keeps getting these results, that isn't a bad thing.

I also expect he is mature enough to take a bullpen assignment if they want someone else to start.

A reliably wierd umpire.

Boy, the Brewers gotta be super pissed at the home plate umpire.

Colome strikes out the 1st batter? Wait just a minute, who is on the mound really!!??!!

He is starting to throw ground balls.

But he swung at it.?

OOOOH say can you see by the ball parks bright lights....

Buxton gets that.

 

Winnah!
