Sanosy Claus!

[Mike Sixel]

I cannot say how much I hate it when MoY pinch runs for Sano, with two outs and the runner on first. It is almost inuman how much I hate it.

[Aggies7]

Holy mackerel. What a turnaround

[ewen21]

Esco is the man

Was going to post exactly that but Esco did his thing.  SO agree

[Blake]

Escobar!!

[mickeymental]

well that's an interesting development.

[VATwinsFan]

ESCOBOMBAROONEEE!!!!!

[jtkoupal]

MIGHTY MOUSE!!!

 

Not only did Escobar just (POSSIBLY) steal us a game, it also, most likely, knocks Nate Jones out of the night cap as well... Good job by the top of the Twins order in this inning. 

[Mike Sixel]

Nice!

[Don Walcott]

I can't believe Rosario let anyone else be the hero.

[VATwinsFan]

Nothing to it.

[Blake]

Not sure I agree with the FRE.

 

But, it's a win!

 

[Aggies7]

Someone call the police. There’s been a robbery. Someone had their win stolen

i can't believe rosario took a pitch with a full count.

[Halsey Hall]

What a win!  Esco can really look bad with the first 2 strikes but look out on that third swing.

The Twins had quite a few wins stolen this season.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

The FRE has been boring and lame, lately.

If Rosario can be selective at the plate, he could be unstoppable. That's a good sign.

So far the Twins look uninterested in winning game 1. Romero has pitched well enough, but will probably be stuck with the “tough luck loss” once again. Why can’t this team play with a little fire? Pathetic...especially against the White Sox...

Didn’t watch yet ... did we lose? Damn!

[Squirrel]

The twins have lost their last SEVEN games on days immediately following an off day.

Damn it! I haven’t watched yet. Guess there’s no use since we lost.

[Squirrel]

Holy mackerel. What a turnaround

Okay, I guess we both spoke too soon!

[jun]

Escobar has been one of the most underrated players in the major league for a few years now. Come on, front office, pay him what he deserves since there should be plenty of money left next season.

[OTPS300]

Heard on the radio that Littell tops out at around 91, but has good stuff. Topping off a double header with a first timer having a good game would be fun.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Awaking from slumber, i see we won.

 

As expected.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did i miss any good Chief jokes?

[Aggies7]

Damn it! I haven’t watched yet. Guess there’s no use since we lost.

My post was a fact, not a when. 7 straight losses after an off day is an interesting tidbit.

[PDX Twin]

But once again, despite the late inning heroics and the wonderful come-from-behind victory, we failed to improve our record in one-run games.
