Playoff Game Thread: Twins @ New York 6:07 PM CDT 10/4/2019

The Twins always get disrespected in a way the Vikings don't. I don't get it. 

 

To talk about disrespect while we are on our way to lose our 11th straight post season game to this team seems a little out of court to me.

 

How about we win first and worry about respect from the national media second?

[howeda7]

 

0-13 vs yankees perhaps?

Perhaps. But we don't get "here come the plucky Vikings, trying again to win the NFC championship game. How cute."

Smoltz makes a good point there. The team that wins this series will score more runs.

Not necessarily.

Littel and Stashak have good numbers but not very impressive stuff.

and here I thought feasting on KC and Detroit the final month woulda prepared em for tonite

I'm not worked up. Said it wasn't our night. So far it's not.

Fair enough. Still game to be played though.

You're committing Duffey to another inning in a game you trail, meaning he's done until at least Monday. Not to mention, as you noted, it's the middle innings. Somebody's gotta pitch the end of the game, too.

 

Littel and Stashak are in the bullpen, they're gonna have to pitch in this series. 

 

Rocco made the right call. Duffey threw 20 high stress pitches. It was another pitcher's job to take over from there. 

 

Agreed, second guessing Rocco bringing in those guys doesn't make a ton of sense. Those other guys need to get the job done. Ideally Littel and Stashak do their jobs, game is still tied and Duffy is still available later tonight.

If I wanted to listen to John Madden, I'd watch football right now. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

At least they’ve given Cruz some love

Not a single player on this team played in more than 1 of those 10.

Could set the all time record for consecutive playoff losses tonight. We’re playing the Rodney dangerfield role. But we don’t deserve respect

Exactly. Duffey pitched a pretty critical point in the game too.

If you rush the ball 75% of the time it's going to lead to more wins! Just ask the Vikings!

[twinsnorth49]

Yes Eddie, you swung...........again. 

[bighat]

Has Rosario taken a pitch yet?

[wsnydes]

Wow, Judge flashing the leather again!

[howeda7]

We can't catch a break. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Man!

[Aggies7]

I ****ing hate this team (ny)

[twinsnorth49]

Defense............yah, it helps. 

[bighat]

Great catch there by Judge.

[Aggies7]

We can't catch a break.

Or a ball, unfortunately

[mrtwinsfan]

DEFENSE NICE CATCH jUDGE, WISH WE HAD BETTER D

Have you been reading this? 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Yes Bob, it's time for you to get excited again.

 

Sheesh!

[Pardon My Dinger]

OK, I’m just gonna say it: Aaron Judge can either start doing human like things, or he can be tried as the interstellar alien imposter that he truly is. There, I said it.

[mrtwinsfan]

I couldn’t believe they took him out for another rookie. Too risky and Duffey was in a groove. At least give hi, a batter or two. Rocco has done really well this year, but a lot to ask of two rookie pitchers in high leverage in NY.

WAY TO MUCH TO ASK, 

[Vanimal46]

Gibby in...

It was a good catch, but it wasn't spectacular. Judge is very human. 

[Blake]

Great play by Aaron Judge.

 

I can't dislike Mr. Judge, because, by all accounts, he's a really good guy.

We never bull rushed Area 51 did we? Birth certificates can be fabricated...
