He put up a valiant fight.

Albert isn't going to walk anyway.  Might as well swing at a pitch he can hit.  

[Waybackman]

Uh oh, bullpen game.

I'm so sick of Pooholes. Dude just sucks.

Bad managing again. Trout should have stole on that first pitch that almost hit Upton.  Upton's hit brings him home.  Play to win the game.

Yeah, the stolen base worked out well for the Twins last inning.

[Taylor]

Yeah, I don't really blame Albert for seeing a pitch he liked and driving it.

You don’t think that Trout has the green light

I blame him for lying about his age and having too big of an ego to adjust his batting approach.

Come on, he hit that hard. If that same hit goes gap it's game over. You can't expect a hitter to be able to aim where the ball goes.

Twins have one of the worst pens in the game, I like our chances

Hard to believe Pujols had 115 BB's in 2009.  He's on pace for only 20 this year.

He also has a .280 OBP and shouldn't be in a major league middle of the order.

Don't call me Coneon.

[DEVLBAT]

Awesome! 

[Bluegrampus]

PH to Kole?

[Angelsjunky]

Coneon = nerdy brother of Conan the Barbarian.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nicely done Kinsler!!!! I do love having one of the best defenses in baseball.

[bloodbrother]

Kinsler hitting the walk off now after that play

I know.  It makes me weep for all that is good about baseball.  

He could have rolled over a grounder to 3rd for an error to end the game with a walk off.  

[IheartLA]

Kinsler is amazing!...with the glove

What the hell Junky? He freaking nailed that pitch. The center feilder almost blew the play, miss judging how hard it was hit.

We have catchers who can throw people out well, don't know who the Twins have, I still would have taken my chances with Trout.
