Playoff Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees 4:07 PM CT, 10/5/19

[GCTF]

Dobnak at 80 pitches already.

[Aggies7]

What the F kind of jump was that

[h2oface]

Deer in the headlights.

[IndianaTwin]

We needed a tallstop.

[FlauerPauer]

Same thing, just a different day. Sigh... I sure do dislike the Yankees.

[mike2202]

Rosario bouncing into that double play - bad!

[insagt1]

Twins put two on and their RBI leader hits into a DP. Yanks put two on and.........of course they score. Why do all the Yankee hitters look like Babe Ruth up there?? They all look dangerous.

 

this game is going to stink real fast if Randy can't get out of this inning real soon.

[howeda7]

No matter what happens today, this situation is on Falvine, not Dobnak. 

[Diesel]

here we go again

[Aggies7]

Who the heck is gonna pitch if we don’t get more than a few innings from dobnak

[twinsnorth49]

Looks afraid to go at guys. He's going to the same well too many times. They really don't seem to have a plan on how to pitch to each guy at this point. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Every friggin batter,  INSANE

[GCTF]

That works

[Don Walcott]

Imagine this lineup if Judge, EE and Stanton had healthy, full seasons.

[ashbury]

Clutch DP. Hope we look back at this as the turning point.

[twinsnorth49]

Thank goodness. 

 

Ok kid, you survived, now start pitching. 

[MNT1996]

Wow the defense didn't mess up the double play. I'm impressed

[bighat]

Anyone else get that feeling watching Yankees batters at the plate - that there's like a 90% chance they're going to get a base hit and just a 10% chance they'll make an out? 

 

The crowd going nuts, these sluggers just knocking balls all over the place, Twins pitchers walking guys left and right....they just look so extremely overmatched.

[LVTwinsfan]

Hopefully they invest in pitching for next season, the Gibson fantasy should be over, Berrios May be good someday but he’s not there yet . The Twins really don’t have a reliable starter

[insagt1]

DP helps. Down by 1 because Twins only think HR instead of trying to get runs in the conventional way.

[Aggies7]

Thank god stanton is the slowest man alive

[ashbury]

15 pitches 1 out. That works out to 405. 

Not Fun With Numbers!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Indeed John Smoltz, that’ll do

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Same thing, just a different day. Sigh... I sure do dislike the Yankees.

Not quite.

 

I think we jumped out first and they answered. Maybe this is a reversal of roles...

[FlauerPauer]

At the very least, this series should intensify the need to improve the pitching staff in the offseason. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Who the heck is gonna pitch if we don’t get more than a few innings from dobnak

Rogers and Romo.

 

Remember?

[Aggies7]

Did mike tauchman make the playoff roster? That guy slayed us

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Ok, it was only 1 run.   Hopefully he can settle down and keep the Yankees in check the next 4 innings.   Now the bats need to come alive....BIG TIME.

[Blake]

After the double by LeMahieu, 1 run was about as good a result as I could expect.

[mrtwinsfan]

NO EXCUSES,  WE NEED GOOD AT BATS,  GONNA NEED AT LEAST 7 TO WIN,
