Buxton catches that…

we didn’t deserve to win this game anyway.  Oh well. Another series win. 4-2 against KC and DET so far. Need to go 10-5. On pace. 

5-1 against Det, if they lose

[dex8425]

Why Megill there? Was there literally no one else available?

I'm trying to reverse jinx them ?

Yeah, my reverse jinx sight is still 20 20 20 20...

 

(Double vision is hard to diagnose with Twins)

[h2oface]

righty on righty? What? you don't pinch hit for 0-28 Buxton?

Most of the  better options aren’t allowed to pitch on consecutive days

The runner scored on the dinger so his name is now less important. 

Buxton is now on first.

[wsnydes]

Good timing on the good defense to disappear.

[Aggies7]

That’ll be an error. Buxton wasn’t running his hardest

[h2oface]

SLUMP BREAKER!

[wsnydes]

Slap a single out there and let Buxton do his work!

[Aggies7]

Ok

[wsnydes]

Tigers has them right where they want them!

[Mike Sixel]

It would be an amazing catch by Buck. We don't know if he does or not. 

Bases loaded no one out.....they have us right where they want us.

We don't need more prospects. We don't have room for the ones we have.

We won't have as many if we are trading for relief pitching, starting pitching or potentially another bat.  We have great depth of prospects,  elite prospects we are still a tad shy on.  

[bunsen82]

Arreaz comes through, now who is going to come up with the big hit?

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding

[shortround81]

My heart just stopped

[Mike Sixel]

more incredibly bad luck (or good he's not hurt).

[wsnydes]

Sigh

Knobber.

Glad Correa didn't get injured.

Ha!  I was thinking that too.  Mixed bag of luck there.

[Aggies7]

Terrible sequence of events there

It looked liked Correa got hit by a pitch but didn't

[Mill1634]

Celestino HAS to score on that

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Fastball inside caught the knob of Correa's bat as he fell backward as if hit by pitch.

[ashbury]

Michael Fulmer is the luckiest pitcher on the planet after what should have been a bases loaded HBP.

(Not that I want to take chances with our guy getting hit like that.)

[Aggies7]

Here comes Todd jones again. Lots of work for an old man
