Ha. No error for Mauer. Slipped through the crack.

Doing it all on one day would be great but the ultimate scenario would be for a Twins win to eliminate four teams at once. However, this would require a few things to fall right. First, the Angels would have to lose to the White Sox before the Twins beat Cleveland. Second, Tampa Bay would have to beat the Yankees or lose in a game that ends after the Twins beat Cleveland. Third, Kansas City would have to beat Detroit or lose in a game that ends after the Twins beat Cleveland. And fourth, Texas would have to beat Houston or lose in a game that ends after the Twins beat Cleveland. The only way this would have a chance of happening would be for the Twins/Cleveland game to go into extra innings (edit: or have a weather delay). I don't know if I could stand watching that.

 

Edited to add: If the Angels and Twins both lose tonight and the other three teams win tonight it would be possible to eliminate all four teams at the same time tomorrow, again depending on who wins and/or when each game ends.

 

Everything besides the words you typed makes perfect sense to me.

If Buxton gets to first before the ball is caught.... shouldn't he be safe?

[h2oface]

Oh-oh! Tie game. Better pull Colon.

[Craig Arko]

Done.

Yikes, I know we have a zillion pitchers, but needing to fill 8 is not a good way to start the series.

Captain Hook.

[h2oface]

 

Done.

 

My personal hell. Colon and Duffey. Damn.

Starting Colon not a good way to start the series.

[Puckett34]

 

COLON. IS. TERRIBLE. STOP. GIVING. HIM. INNINGS.

Ask and you shall receive.*  

 

*but you also receive Tyler Duffy for multiple innings.

[USAFChief]

 

Captain Hook.

I approve, except I gotta believe there's something wrong with Colon.

[notoriousgod71]

Molly thinks he is Maddon or Dave Roberts apparently.

[twinsnorth49]

Duffy for Colon

There's almost never an error when an out is made.

[Danchat]

I just looked at Colon's pitches on MLB gameday. He's topping out at 87 MPH, normally he tops out at 90-91. Might be hurt.

You ain't seen nothing yet!

 

I believe Turley is stirring.

True, but an out opportunity was still missed on the play.

[yarnivek1972]

Yikes, I know we have a zillion pitchers, but needing to fill 8 is not a good way to start the series.

The alternative is allowing Colon to continue to pitch.

 

I'll take door number one.

Might be 45.

Horror.

hurt by the aging process.

Time for the 60 day DL!

[USAFChief]

It surely was, but you "can't assume a double play."

 

Or some other silly scorekeeping rule.

[yarnivek1972]

So, will Molitor bunt?

 

Seems hit and run would be the logical play here.

[Don Walcott]

I approve, except I gotta believe there's something wrong with Colon.

Famous last words.

[Aggies7]

Turns out Bart really was sick. Was throwing up a lot on the mound.

[yarnivek1972]

Colon left due to "illness."

 

Watching him pitch was making Molitor sick...

[drock2190]

Colon left the game because his pitching made him sick

[yarnivek1972]

Send Dozier. Mauer will make contact.

What a coincidence...so was I.
