Personally, I prefer this one.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I bet they stretch Thorpe out to 100 pitches to be the 4th starter in the Division Series

He threw 83 pitches tonight.

 

Not bad for a “bullpen” game and yeah, he’s good -n- stretched out now...

[insagt1]

This is a problem that Twins have had now for several weeks. They can't get the big 2 out hit, while their opponent gets a ton of them...and they are all costly.

Throw in the k brigade and we are VERY fortunate we won that first game.

 

We have a few automatic outs in this lineup. Cron can't hit anything anymore. Castro can't hit at all. And Sano has forgotten how to make contact period.

 

But did anyone really think we could win them both? What is surprising is that we won the game no one figured we could win and we are looking real bad in the game we had the best shot at winning. Our hitting has really disappeared, making it so hard for the pitchers.

Just imagine Lewis Thorpe starting game 4 of the ALDS down 2-1? Edited September 15, 2019 by operation mindcrime

The hitters aren't helping--13 in a row without a base runner.

[LVTwinsfan]

Legitimately some of the worst managing I’ve seen in a longggg time

yet he has the first place team

The storm has passed. And what is left in its wake? Houses flattened and cars carried off in a flood.

yet he has the first place team

But not the best first base team in history by any means.

compared to Perez or Gibson, I’m comforted.

they have 90 wins with 15 to play, pretty good

[yarnivek1972]

I’m sure I’m not the first to say this, but letting Thorpe go through the lineup a third time made no sense. 3-2 is a winnable game. Cleveland has a pretty bad bullpen.

 

I had some errands to run midgame...

[VATwinsFan]

Stashak might be a keeper as well.

You left during a crucial part of the game?

5-2 in the 6th is still winnable

This made me laugh out loud! Thanks, I needed that!

[LVTwinsfan]

Gotta tip your cap to Carrasco

[VATwinsFan]

Still no base runners since Rosario's home run.

And Polanco breaks the streak at 15.

Certainly. But 3-2 is moreso.

[MMMordabito]

Gotta tip your cap to Carrasco

Be sure to tip your cap to Gibson at the same time

[Nine of twelve]

All right! Back in it.

[Brian450]

Cruz is pulling his head off the pitches... "Twins need a jolt" is right...

[operation mindcrime]

CRUZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

We got a game

[VATwinsFan]

Cruz doing what Cruz does.

ahem...

Nice anti-jinx

[Blake]

Ah, the old single and a blast.

 

Good job, Mr. Polanco and Cruz!
