That ball sat up there like it was on a tee for Judge.

[snepp]

 

That 3 run lead feels like it was two hours ago

 

*clock check*

 

 

Indeed.

[Face The Facts]

Game over.

 

They'll need to 10-run rule this game before it's over.

 

[Vanimal46]

Stick with Berrios.

Yes. The Twins can't compete in a bullpen game with the Yanks.

[LaBombo]

 

5 more licks, have to figure at least 3 of those will be from the fearsome twosome

 

Correct.

 

[jimmer]

 

Pitching letting us down tonight hard. Usually in the bats in the playoffs.

Let's not kid ourselves, our pitching has been bad this year. Defense made it look better, but still quite bad.

[Darius]

Nearly 2.5 hours and it's the 4th inning. The way this is going, I hope it's not another 2.5.

[Vanimal46]

new Yankee Stadium is completely unappealing.

A sandbox.

[gocgo]

Let's go boys...now we got a game.

[Pius Jefferson]

Best to temper expectations Wolves and Gopher hoops fans. 

[Aggies7]

Let's not kid ourselves, our pitching has been bad this year. Defense made it look better, but still quite bad.

The "bad" hasn't even gotten into the game yet. #1 and #2 have to do better than 7 runs in 4 innings. That's dreadful

which explains why our two HR went over the wall?

No doubt.. Both of those barely cleared the wall too.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Don't wanna be captain hindsight here, but I was OK with Santana staying in because Berrios doesn't pitch well on the road, struggled against the Yanks here last week, and the ump is brutal. Ugh.

Thanks. I would have tried to get 5 from Santana, also.

[Blake]

This is quite the game. 

[Aggies7]

Thanks. I would have tried to get 5 from Santana, also.

I was hoping to get 5 strikes from him, but alas

[jimbo92107]

 

Whiff Stuff. I'm thumbing through the thesaurus...

Here, use my Synonymicon. It's...Hey, it bit me!

[LaBombo]

 

Yes. The Twins can't compete in a bullpen game with the Yanks.

 

Politifact rated this statement just slightly less true than "Twins unable to play on moon without space suits".

It would look a lot better without all of those Yankee's fans, they make it look bad

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeah, i am at a place what will be closing up before the game ends...

 

But it ain't over yet!

 

Granite's got Buxton's back!

[Aggies7]

Turning point was not getting those two runners in back in the first. 2 k's. That and of course erv peeing himself

[Pius Jefferson]

I hope there's some personal reason Judge wears 99 otherwise it just comes off you know.  He seems like a good guy.

[LaBombo]

Yup. And that's before you fill it with Yankees fans. And Yankees.

Twins got two gimmes. 

[Riverbrian]

Well... Joe G is apparently using Robertson like it's the playoffs. I was hoping they'd bring in the next guy. 

[Monkeypaws]

How secure is a 3 run lead. Hmm, with their pen?

 

Hope the management are taking notes tonite.

[jimbo92107]

If at all possible I would love it if a Twin hit a homer while the Yankie kissers are interviewing Girardi.

No need to take anyone out when you work ahead in counts and keep the ball in the park Edited October 4, 2017 by Aggies7

Somebody needs to give them a "this is not inevitable" speech here.

Upgraded for you.
