I just saw that 'look' on Buxton's face.  The look of " why in the world would I re-sign with this club?  I can go to just about any other club and get big money and have just as  a good chance of winning as opposed to staying here.  I owe it to my family to get the best deal.  The future of this club, with the current FO and Baldelli, isn't anything special,

I need an explanation:  Why do a lot of hitters take advantage of a pitcher's mistake, while Twins hitters foul that pitch off?

Sportsmanship.

We like to give them a chance.

On a pop up, Sano decides to practice his tumbling?

GIBAUT!!!! Carry on the carnage.

Cruz can use a little of that. He as been pretty bad on Tampa so far.

Sano was looking up, the runner was looking down...

Yes, indeed.  I can see Buxton crumbling into a thousand pieces, like a cartoon character.

Way to go Polanco!!!!!!!

What Buxton yelled, when he crashed into the wall a few months ago.

Nope.

But we may enter the control phase at some point.

 

Astudillo is in for Sano at first.

Sano hurt?  The trainer needs to put a sign on the training room door.  " Closed, go back out there and play.  Man up".

Could the Twins batters score runs if they faced their own pitchers?

As Arte Johnson would say , "  Verrrrrrrry  Interesting"

A goose egg for Tampa, finally!

This is why MLB should end their regular season on September 1. We have a month left of this dreck and the only bright spots would be IF the young pitchers are brought up. Football is starting and I find myself not giving a flip about this group

That'd be an interesting idea, have the league operate like a fantasy football guillotine league - if you haven't heard of it, the worst team every week is removed. That would be quite the incentive for teams to compete... the chopping block could start in August and go up to the end of the regular season. Wait, that would screw up the schedule quite a bit, wouldn't it? Hmmm, never mind that idea.

Tampa Bay hit that many home runs and beat the Twins.

Twins hit that many home runs and lost to Detroit who hit none.

Blaming Albers is asinine.
