Article: AL Wild Card Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 10/3@7:09pm CT

[Blake]

 

Signing off for the night. Hope there's one more comeback left in this team.

Later.

[Smarterthanyou]

Twins need a miracle.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Let me get this straight. The Yankees pull their starter after 1 out, use nothing but dominant bullpen arms, are set up for their usual 8-9 elite arms...and still have a reliever that is better than any of the Twins' relievers...that they aren't even going to use?

[snepp]

Don't throw that again.

[Smarterthanyou]

Here he us again... all rise!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Twins need a miracle.

Or a rally.

[jimmer]

 

Twins need a miracle.

Paging Miracle Max!

That about sums it up, yup.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It was a great turnaround season. Molitor will be gone which is a good thing. Most of us knew we didn't have a chance against the Yankees but who cares. We have a good core team and just need to add some pitching to compete for the division.

Thanks--this is a much brighter statement I can come up with right now

[yarnivek1972]

Hildenberger’s last guy most likely.

[Whammy]

Would Hildenburger be on the Yankees Wild Card roster

[AlwaysinModeration]

Paging Miracle Max!

I almost forgot, this thread would not be complete without a Princess Bride reference!

[Aggies7]

Great throw, ed.

[yarnivek1972]

And there we see the Dumb side of Rosario.

[snepp]

Oh Eddie.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

God, I HATE losing to these guys.

If only there were more of us.

[Danchat]

Great, another complete garbage throw from Rosario. Can't finish the season without one.

[jimmer]

 

Oh Eddie.

He wasn't even far away

[LaBombo]

 

Unfortunately, he's just a spectator - not on the roster for this game.

 

A spectator, but a lurking spectator. There's a difference.

[wavedog]

Judge was out with a good throw.

[Darius]

Should've had an out at third there.

[Smarterthanyou]

Looks like men playing boys

[snepp]

 

Judge was out with a good throw.

 

Or even a moderately acceptable throw.

[Aggies7]

I wonder how the game would have been different had erv had a scoreless first? Not trying to pile on him, just an honest question

[jimmer]

 

Should've had an out at third there.

That's the difference between the announcers (not ESPN announcers though) saying that was a dumb rookie decision by Judge to try and get to 3B to the announcers praising Judge's decision.

[jimmer]

 

Or even a moderately acceptable throw.

basically in the correct zip code.

[ashbury]

Looks like men playing boys

If so, they've looked like pretty resilient boys all game.

[Whammy]

I completely disagree that a good throw would've got Judge. He was running on the pitch. It would've had to be a perfect throw

[TWINSFANINATL]

Under no circumstances can you bring back any of this coaching staff.  No difference between tonight and any of our previous playoff series against the Yankees.  Molitor was scared to death being in Yankee Stadium.  Hopefully the stat-heads running the org. see this and move on.

[Whammy]

And which was it.... a bonehead decision to throw or a good decision with a bad result
