Below is Jim Thome's triple back in 2010. I clocked it at 13.43 seconds. It took Thome almost the same amount of time to go 270 feet as it took Buxton to go 360 feet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf3sI7__O78

BTW, as of tonight, only 2.5 games separate six teams for the second AL wild card spot. Yeah, you can say that none of them would stand a chance in a five game series against the Astros, and you'd probably be right. But like it or not, this is why MLB created the play in game. We are paying attention, as are fans of the other teams who might've just packed it in and forgot about baseball until next spring.

I think we know what's really going on here. There are two cardboard cutouts of a naked Thad Levine and Derek Falvey with "You guys stink" captions in the Twins clubhouse right now.

And this is why we are not catching up to Cleveland or Kansas City in the next two months. That is the fourth time this week we gave up the lead in the 8th inning or later.

Garcia's tenure still can't beat Joel Zumaya's and all 13 warmup pitches that came with him.

Why wasn't Kintzler pitching the 9th? I haven't been around the web all day so is there a legitimate reason for him not taking the mound tonight?

I second I saw Rogers come out in the 9th, I turned to my brother and said "Why is he still in the game?"

Couple things, Max 1. You are not Nick Punto 2. That is a good way to break a wrist. Don't ever do that again.

I'm sitting 10 rows from the field, and I must say, Aaron Judge is a behemoth of a human being.

Your move, Cleveland!

How could Dick and Roy forget Jim Thome's triple back in 2010? https://youtu.be/qf3sI7__O78

That's the Alex Meyer I remember. Letting every little thing absolutely rattle him like that.

I'm at a cabin near Grand Rapids and have been drunk since noon. Otherwise I would be pissed about what has transpired today.

One more bite of breakfast this morning and Polanco has himself a three run homer.

http://deadspin.com/sprint-speed-helps-tell-us-whos-good-at-baserunning-and-1796424570 If the graph they have is true, then it just confirms what I already believed, which is Byron Buxton is the fastest man in all of baseball, but he doesn't make the most of his speed on the base paths.

That's not a rule, and you of all people should know that.

And that is why you do not slide into 1st base.

Junior PA announcer called Escobar the 2nd pitcher. It was adorable.

Rosario's OPS went from .676 to .747 overnight.

Will this be enough for the bullpen? No, that's not a rhetorical question.

The Golden State Warriors have unanimously agreed to not visit the White House.

The correct answer is I'm drunk on a Monday and who the **** cares in a 10 run game.

On a bad team, it really doesn't matter who the closer is. That was last year. This cannot continue if we are expected to compete for the division throughout the summer.

Famous last words: I look to my girlfriend after the single and say "Kintzler is the kind of guy who would completely unravel after a two out single."

28 runs in 9 innings for our bullpen in this series. 28!!!
