He tried!

He got it half-right!  

 

Way to go, young man!

 

And pinch-hitters replacing the auto-outs!  Yay!

[snepp]

 

wut?

 

Yes.

[jokin]

 

This might be my last inning. Don't know if I can suffer through the 5-9 hitters one more time. Good to know Kep is available if needed

 

Yep. That IBB was critical. 

[gocgo]

C'mon Twins...not another heartbreaker.

[snepp]

The JME.

 

 

1 out.

[snepp]

Blood pressure check....3....2....1....

 

 

 

*whew*

[gocgo]

Double play. Double play...think DP.

[snepp]

Rodney v. Trout

 

 

 

GO!

[USAFChief]

Was that just a foul HR on an 0-2 pitch, followed up by a base hit on an 0-2 pitch??

Yes?

 

 

Fine his ***.

 

 

 

Double.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don’t care what y’all say, this is fun as hell.

[jokin]

Trevor May as eventual closer seems inevitable. Rodney just stole a save.

[snepp]

CHICKEN, WINNAH, DINNAH!!!

[gocgo]

Stolen!

[Blake]

Never a doubt in my mind.

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

And it got more fun.

[jokin]

 

I don’t care what y’all say, this is fun as hell.

 

Definitely worth staying up past 1AM for...

How so? This is literally how the guy made his career and he’s 41 and still closing games in MLB.

[mrmpls]

Rodneys not good for the nerves, LUCKY= stole that one

[Blake]

And this, my friends, is why one should aways watch until the end.

 

Good job, Twins!

 

 

[mrmpls]

Every ball in that inning was scorched

[Don Walcott]

Rosario for MVP? What a snatch and grab job!!

How so? 

 

Well, the 118 MPH line drive by Trout wasn't exactly an endorsement of Rodney's mound deception skills.

(3rd hardest MLB hit in 2018).

Again, how was that lucky?

 

The dude has literally been in MLB long enough to vote. And this is his profile.

but he minimized launch angle nicely.

[Aggies7]

I fell asleep. I want to punch myself
