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

[Richie the Rally Goat]

It’s Lurch!

[USAFChief]

 

He is. But as our 3rd or 4th reliever making $5 million bucks, I'd gladly take him back. Wouldn't you?

I don't want Romo back. He's been pretty good, and certainly helped this team, but he's living on a literal knife's edge of effectiveness. 

 

I want bullpen arms like the Yankees have.

MOMENT TO ME WAS TO BIG FOR OUR 1ST YEAR COACH, Hope he realizes it,he will  never say it , and Team reflected it 

[wavedog]

Maybe we are cooling Chapman off with this long inning? Trying to find anything positive

[h2oface]

 

Why is Baldelli waiving the white flag again letting Romo out to dry for 25+ pitches?

 

"We had that in the plan, it's just what we do. I scripted that before the game started and that's our guy there. I believe in him. I would do it again.".......

[JeffReboulet]

Man, what I wouldn't give for a Gardy tantrum right about now.

 

(Yes, I said it).

[USAFChief]

 

You forgot the comma:

No, stripper jokes, please!

No stripper, jokes please.

 

Grammar matters!!!

[Krabby5]

Well...i guess there has to be one state where everything goes wrong for their sport’s teams.  The “you can’t make it up” moments for 30 years.

[Dakota15]

I totally get not winning the whole thing, but to be the first 100 win team (I believe) swept first round and outscored 23 (and counting) to 7 in said sweep....is something.

 

Only team in the postseason this year to be swept just makes it even more fitting

Honestly this could work... Just cant give up any more runs

Agree, he's a slightly more effective Blake Parker at this point in his career. 

[Riverbrian]

C'mon now guys... Figure it out. 

[Blake]

Just keep it close, all the Twins need to do and it looks like it isn't going to happen. The Twins just have to give up a crooked number to the Yankees.

[USAFChief]

 

Coaches have as much responsibility for positioning as the player, and coaches get their information from the wonks up at the computers.

Right, that's my point. I'm pretty positive he was positioned there on purpose, and not by his random choice.

[Aggies7]

There’s simply no way didi doesn’t come through here

No stripper, jokes please.

I really want the Twins to have a manager that is pissed off after this series performance, but we all know Rocco is just going give out the "it was a great season" cliches after the game.

Seemed like a pretty good season to me.

 

Usually the season doesn’t end with a game thread up to 60 pages.

 I want starters like Houston and the Nationals have. Or the Mets. But mostly Houston. Hey, maybe one of Houston's will be available, soon?

Front office: plan is to draft position players and trade them for high end pitching. When we’re positioned to go all-in we will.

Keep letting one guy beat you. Don’t pitch in and make him uncomfortable

[gocgo]

Well gang, it's been a hell of a year.  A lot went right, but a lot went wrong.  We've seen Kepler, Polanco, Garver, and Sano all take a huge step forward and we've seen the emergence of Arraez.  We are a different team without Buxton roaming CF.  We traded for an upgrade to the pen which didn't work out so well.  Arguably our best starter got suspended.  Those were all things that we needed to advance.

 

Next year, we will be the favorites in the Central to repeat.  We will need a lot to go right again to do that.

 

Peace out!

 

P.S.  I hate the Yankees more than ever, but I still love my Twins.

 

P.P.S.  Go 'stros.

[Bandit34]

Isn't it wonderful that the Yankees are getting one last kick in for good measure? Boy I don't like those guys.

I'm OK with him giving the public "all is well" spiel if he's keeping guys accountable behind the scenes. I'm not convinced he is. 

[David HK]

Tell you what, 1st game against the Yanks next season, 1st AB, Torres wears one.

[Krabby5]

As bad as the Twins have played this series...I give the Yankees credit.  They are money when it counts.  Their hitters are relentless.  

[Vanimal46]

Didi may be the greatest player of all time if he just played the twins. My goodness

[ashbury]

I want bullpen arms like the Yankees have.

Yeah, I'm back to my initial impression after Game 1. We can play armchair manager and suggest what Rocco might have done differently. But May coming in and giving up that single, simply reinforces.... they just don't have the horses.

[h2oface]

I guess that is what you get when your pitcher get so much rest and get rusty....

This was just sitting there right next to the Han shoulder shrug .gif, so...

 

[drock2190]

Wow

 

This is going to be an epic comeback guys
