Little lazy out there Jake ??

[mnfireman]

C'mon man!! That kind of play will hurt a team for sure.

Neither one committed to the catchable fly ball. Buxton would be pulling up and catching it. And Wisler gives up an inherited run for his starter. Damn.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Indians are behind by 4 runs now. Twins are going to play Indians at home.

Was hoping it would be any team other than our Division again,

Pirates now up 6-2 on Cleveland. Chicago cuts it to 6-1 against Chicago.

My 1st thought also, 

[mrtwinsfan]

Hill pitched well,-- Deserved alot better

[h2oface]

Now the score is even again, and both runs were "unearned" in reality but not in the score book.

[Aggies7]

Diggs is having a good season with the unbeaten Bills. Vikings are stuck with Cousins. At least the Twins are going to win the division.

Vikings problem is the same one it’s been for about ten years now. The offensive line is terrible and absolutely melted down on that final series. Drafting a big name QB won’t change much about that.

Kepler going yard here.

Hill looked great. Saw him pitch many games like this for the Dodgers.

[twinssporto]

 

Kepler going yard here. 

I meant walk sorry.

 

Arraez going to smack a double here.

I think it is the head coach. The defensive head coach whose teams give up more points that seems possible.

In the AL the 4 and 5 seeds are the only teams that won’t play their own division

[h2oface]

My favorite scenario for this playoff season would be for the Twins to have the third seed, Chicago the 4th, and Cleveland the 7th, and for the Central teams to all advance to the Divsion round. I'm tired of the "weak" division BS. How about the AL LEast?

Gray's neck hair belongs on some 10th grader.

[h2oface]

Time for Cruz to wake up from his nap!

[h2oface]

 

Gray's neck hair belongs on some 10th grader.

 

.... or Glen Perkins.

[USAFChief]

Hey, didn't you used to be Nelson Cruz?

[jun]

I think they are going to walk Rosario and then bring up a lefty to face Cave. Oops, I am totally wrong.

[USAFChief]

by the by...the balk call was correct. Gray had started his motion, then stepped back off the rubber. That's a balk.

 

I have trouble understanding how Morneau doesn't know rules.

[IndianaTwin]

Cleveland cuts the lead to 6-5. 

[blindeke]

 

Indians are behind by 4 runs now. Twins are going to play Indians at home.

 

My reading of the flow chart is that if the Cleveland, Chicago and the Twins all lose but Oakland wins, the Twins play the Astros.

[IndianaTwin]

And Oakland is at 2-2.

Correct. 

[LVTwinsfan]

2-1 Dick

[USAFChief]

really bad 0-2 pitch. We'll take it.

[LVTwinsfan]

Correct.

Well Cleveland doesn’t matter in that scenario, if Oakland wins and Twins and Sox lose , Twins play Houston

[Joey Self]

 

Just seen T.B.S. Has the A.L. Playoff, Honestly i would rather hear Bremer, never a fan of T.B.S. Crew for Baseball

If it's the guys that did the Braves games this year, I'm fine with it. 

I spent HUNDREDS of hours listening to Skip, Pete, Ernie, Don, Joe and whoever else they had from '79 until TBS stopped playing Braves games.  Chip reminds me a bit of his dad, and the rest of the current crew is OK with me.

I'd take that.  

The Cleveland game doesn't affect that, does it?  The way I read it, if Oakland wins and the Twins and Sox both lose, Twins get Houston, which is my preferred match.  No trash cans available for them this year.
