GAME THREAD 9/25/20 Twins vs. Reds 7:10 CDT.

[Aggies7]

Poor guy isn’t gonna get an out

[stringer bell]

Help the young man get an out. We don't want a Fred Bruckbauer.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Ok they're the only team tonight that is playing like they want the Central

I am sure the KC Royals would also like to win the Central!

[stringer bell]

What's next? Balk, wild pitch, double steal?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

On the other hand, maybe we can get momentum against a non-closer in the bottom of the 9th...

Unraveling

 

Standings aside, they just don't look like you want a team to right before the playoffs, and it's not exactly the getaway day lineup, either.

[Aggies7]

Reds will clinch tonight and still have something to play for, possibly passing the cardinals. Going to be a battle 

[Otto von Ballpark]

Homer Bailey must be laughing from... hey, can DFA’d players leave quarantine?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What's next? Balk, wild pitch, double steal?

Not necissarily in that order.

[LaBombo]

 

What's next? Balk, wild pitch, double steal?

 

Yes.

[Danchat]

Yeah, I would have waited until this was a 4 run game to bring a rookie in...

[Aggies7]

What a nightmare start. Poor guy

[stringer bell]

Now that the White Sox lost, the Twins don't need this game to win the Central. That seems to be Rocco''s mindset.

[Aggies7]

Infinity ERA

[stringer bell]

No mercy.

I was going to say, passing the Cardinals wouldn’t do much, but I guess it would let them go to San Diego or the Cubs, instead of the Dodgers or Atlanta.

[Aggies7]

Please just get an out for the guy

[Otto von Ballpark]

What a nightmare start.

I don’t see it that way at all!

 

I see it as a nightmare relief appearance.

[Aggies7]

Nightmarish end

[MNT1996]

Alright Rocco. Time to bring in the big guns. Get Ehrie on the mound

[stringer bell]

I'm much less optimistic about the Twins' chances in the postseason than I was at 7 PM tonight.

[Aggies7]

My first appearance in college went like this. Just couldn’t get an out. Always has a soft spot for situations like this

Unraveling

To prevent this in the future:

 

[Aggies7]

Throw that ball out!

[Otto von Ballpark]

Poor guy

At least Colina made about $3500 before taxes today.

[notoriousgod71]

This was an amazing team display of wretched clutch hitting and a manager throwing in the towel in a winnable game. Glad this was treated as a spring training game.

 

And now Rocco wastes another pitcher. Let this guy roast now that you allowed him to give up 37 runs.

 

Can't wait for them to finish third because there has been zero urgency at any point in the season.

[stringer bell]

 

Infinity ERA

Down to 81.00, but could be 162.00 if the runners on base score.

[Aggies7]

 

At least Colina made about $3500 before taxes today.

So it wasn’t a total loss

[MNT1996]

 

I'm much less optimistic about the Twins' chances in the postseason than I was at 7 PM tonight.

 

As long as Colina doesn't pitch in the playoffs I think we'll have a chance.

First inning set the tone, if you believe in that sort of thing. Had a chance to bust it open early and squandered it. Story of the year
