TWINS WIN!!!

 

I am ALL IN on the new extra inning rule. Gives the game intensity and excitement throughout. What a GEM from Maeda, was about 2 feet from potentially making history. Rogers is discouraging, but I have confidence he will bounce back at some point. Thielbar and Alcala both pitched very well, and the offense got the job done eventually. A very exciting game capped off with a Twins win!

 

Until tomorrow,

 

Go Twins!!!

Trying to keep track of my Kepler stats. Do you think he's the first German born player hit by a pitch in the 12th inning of an MLB game?

Probably. You will have to check if that ever happened to Donald Lutz...

Rogers struggles s/b a bit of a concern in a shortened season.  Duffy s/b in the mix at the end of games.  Can't be this faithful over the next 25 games.  

 

Also shocked that they think Sano is that bad to be replaced in the field, guessing he might have caught that ball?  Don't know but let's keep the big bats in there, even in extras.

 

Don't need a ton of ab's for Vargas and Adrianza. Especially when game is on the line.

 

Regardless a win is a win, counts as almost 3.

Wikipedia shows him as being born in NY. So even if he was, Max could still have the distinction.

Up later than I wanted to be here in EDT, but oh, well. I can catch up on sleep if I turn off the camera during tomorrow’s Zoom calls. 

Another reason why MLB should look at this format or another in a non COVID season.  This could've gone on forever.

Okay, didn't know Lutz was born in the US. I only knew he was the only other real German to play in the Majors. But apparently that means "grew up in Germany".

Quite. As wikipedia puts it, "Lutz was the first German-developed player to play in the modern Major Leagues."
