Game Thread: Twins vs Indians 9/14/19 12:10 CDT & 6:10 CDT

I think Sano has 5 of the 10 most important HRs on the Season (from a Twins Daily article a few weeks ago), and counting this massive blast.  So, a question.....Can we just kill the Negative Nancy crapola as it relates to Sano, Rosario, and other targets on this board?  Some of these guys are/were hurt.  Some are still pretty young.  Some have had their weaknesses figured out for now, and need to adjust.  Some are just fatigued around game 150.  I have said it before - baseball is HARD.  I know from experience, and football and hockey have less failure, if you are an All-Star with success 1/3 of the time.  Do we agree?  We are on this train with the passengers we have.  Just not sure we have enough in the pitchers car.

Thorpe is officially off the hook for this game.

 

Brilliant managing, Baldelli!

If we win our division series and the wild card team wins the other one we'll have home field.

That was too complicated for me!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Alright Lurch 1-2-3

[Crackedfungo]

 

So where are we?  Yankees # 285 and Twins now # 284?  And with an extra game up our sleave?

2 games and an inning behind, I think.

You gotta have Power arms to have any chance  in your  bullpen  proven every year

[gocgo]

That could be a soul crushing ambush.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Nice! Thanks Trevor

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice job Trevor-  add on here and Nail it down,  no Mercy in baseball

[Diesel]

I don’t think the Indians are going to even make the playoffs after this doubleheader. Events like that are extremely demoralizing

[Don Walcott]

May is solid.

[Blake]

 

That could be a soul crushing ambush.

Let's hope so.

[operation mindcrime]

Vikes at noon - Twins at 12:30    sucks,  have to double up on beer between noon and 3

[stringer bell]

uphill climb, 2 games back isn’t insurmountable, but they’ll need help

[tvagle]

If Miller stood on Torrreeeysss shoulders he could look Trevor May in the eye

[Brian450]

With Kepler up, I'm reminded of Perez's horrible play and how important that was in setting the table...

Driving to a speaking engagement in central Illinois. If you hear any reports of loud noises on I-55 just south of Champaign, tell the cops not to worry about it. It was just me on the Sano salami.

Suck it up, princess.  Now is when champions are made.

We're all counting on you.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Monty!

[mrtwinsfan]

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Lurch to close it out

[stringer bell]

The four-run lead seems about equally as safe as the two-run lead felt this afternoon.

Great post, Junior!

Turning those hot grounders into outs.....kinda makes me like the shift.
