PS Game Thread "Luke" Twins vs Yankees 7:40pm cdt 10/7/2019ad

[operation mindcrime]

Can the Twins hire whomever is in charge of the Yankees’ shifts?

Tony Diaz must be in charge of ours!

[Blake]

 

Yankees defenders have been in the field for a long time this inning. Eddie needs to make solid contact and hope for the best.

Pretty much everything you asked for. 

 

Amazing, isn't it?

[insagt1]

sigh....we are truly cursed. No doubt about it. We can't buy a run. In the old baseball days before shifts, that was a clean basehit.

Now our best pitcher is out and we got him zero runs. thats 7 left on...no maybe 8. And a total failure to produce with RISP.

 

Maybe we're saving it all  up for the 9th???

[ashbury]

I know I couldn’t take one more game

Good chance your wish will be granted.

Surface Pro?  All analytics 

[gocgo]

49ers crushing the bad news Brown's...even when they are supposed to be good, they are bad.

[John Kelsey]

Rogers, sure why not. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Hooray! Rogers!

[notoriousgod71]

Taylor Rogers in place of Odorizzi.

 

Really need to get Gardner out ahead of a dozen righties.

[h2oface]

I can't believe Baldelli isn't saving Rogers for a possible game 5!

[glunn]

 

Twins are just not going to catch a break will they.

Not yet but they get to bat four more times.

[insagt1]

Rogers in. I guess thats OK.

They said at least one run scores 85% of the time the bases are loaded with no outs. No curse. Just failure

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Rogers, sure why not.

Hooray! Not Gibson!

[twins_89]

Rogers finally gets to make a meaningful pitch in the series. I guess Rocco decided to make sure that he actually gets to use his best relievers in a game.

[Bandit34]

 

I've turned off the game, think I'm better off just checking the live GameDay score on the interwebz at this point. Seems to be pointless torture and suffering, continuing to watch. Why do that to yourself?

 

Gets me thinking about how many other great things there are in life besides baseball. A walk on the beach, a bike ride down by the lake, a good snowfall on a crisp December morning, etc.

 

You know things are bleak for your team when you start getting philosophical about this kind of crap.....

It's really true though. I could've spent so much time fishing with my family this year as we normally do instead we stayed inside and watched nearly every game only to watch the Twins disgrace Baseball in this series. I lost my temper tonight even and said mean things. Is it really worth it?

wut?

[FlauerPauer]

Or failure due to curse.

[ashbury]

Rogers in. I guess thats OK.

Needed this mindset in Game 1, in addition to tonight.

[Aggies7]

How many 1.2.3 innings for twins pitching this series?

[glunn]

Hopefully Rogers' dominance will spark a rally here.

[JNess21]

All year the Twins have shown us fight. I refuse to believe they will get swept.

[insagt1]

if this game stays close and we still lose and don't score any runs....we can pretty much say that everything thats possible to go wrong has gone wrong. the pitching stunk for two games, and was good for one but the bats disappeared in a pile of strikeouts, popouts and other assorted outs.

 

If somehow they pull this out of the fire, it would be a HUGE lift for everyone. they have had more chances to score than the Yanks.

[Brian450]

Well, if someone had said we'd give up 2 runs in the first 6 innings after the debacles in NY, I think we'd all take that...

 

GO TWINS!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

The pitching side of today's game is making Baldelli's previous decisions in game one and two pretty suspect...

[Blake]

 

Well, if someone had said we'd give up 2 runs in the first 6 innings after the debacles in NY, I think we'd all take that...

 

GO TWINS!!!

Worth repeating.

[ScorchedAnt]

Hoping there is some luck in saving my post #3 for game 3. Intending to make post #4 in game 4 tomorrow...believe!

[Mike Sixel]

I predict a Garver HR here.

[Aggies7]

This reminds me of a bad 80s comedy with the loser high school kids trying to “score” and all the pitfalls they encounter.

[LaBombo]

 

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

 

"Success can test one's mettle as surely as the strongest adversary".

 

 

I'd like to see the Twins' mettle tested by success before this series is over. 'Cause the "strongest adversary" bit ain't going so well.

 

Or at the very least it would be nice to see them solve The Riddle of Wood.
