Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Polanco misses a chest high fastball and swings so hard his helmet falls off
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Naturally... because, if, being omnipotent, they would have so little to do... they would watch and care about baseball. right.
Pardon My Dinger Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Hey man let me say this: Brett Gardner is the longest tenured Yankee of all, and that gives him special Twins killing powers. But it doesn’t change the fact that he still looks like Wayne from the Wonder Years, and is thereby, inexorably a butthead.
diehardtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Polanco isn't going down quietly...
USAFChief Twins Daily Contributor Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 They shift to the right, and then pitch up or outside. Sure seems not very analytical to me. It is like you forget that you have decided to shift, and pitch to let them get a hit anyway.Perhaps some credit for the hitter putting a tough pitch in play is due.

Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 The only way the Twins can score is with HR's. I was criticized for suggesting that they try scoring in other ways. That is the easiest way to score in the playoffs. Given that pitching (outside MN) is better in the playoffs, you are much less likely to string together multiple hits than to score by HR. It has made baseball less interesting to watch, but that's one of the reasons for the HR revolution.

VATwinsFan Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 I guess we'll be seeing nothing but swinging for the fences with lots of Ks and pop ups.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 Did you mean, pinochle? Yes. We got us a meld here.
MVP Nick Punto Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 At least I'm sick, so I won't feel much worse if we lose
twinsnorth49 Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Wondefully patient AB there Nellie.
FLTwinsGuy Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Regardless of what happens tonight, its going to be a very interesting offseason for Derek Falvey..this team is pretty good but needs some tweaking, mostly on the pitching side..lets see if falvey puts his money where his mouth is
Aggies7 Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Eddie just pulling everything no matter how far outside
ashbury Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Time for Mitch to really step up.
sampleSizeOfOne Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 So was that an infield hit?
Pius Jefferson Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Next season. Fewer Home Runs and better situational hitting.
diehardtwinsfan Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Next season. More Home Runs and better situational hitting. FIFY
sftwinsfan Verified Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Better get it done here, according to the broadcast on FS1 the game if forfeited if the Yankees lead after 4.
Riverbrian Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 So was that an infield hit? That would be the way I'd score it.
h2oface Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Perhaps some credit for the hitter putting a tough pitch in play is due. Sure. I'll spend my copious spare time finding ways to give the yankees' players credit, especially Gardner. I will leave that to you. Both are fair observations, I guess.
twinsnorth49 Old-Timey Member Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Perhaps some credit for the hitter putting a tough pitch in play is due.Sure, but the point still stands. If you're going to play your 3B in and 15 steps off the line, don't pitch the batter on the outside edge.
