It’s glass-shatteringly Hugh pitched

My ears are ringing

[insagt1]

just add Polanco officially to the can't hit water by the ocean club. Its hard to fathom how so many on this team have just gone ice cold, with weak, useless AB's.

I was about to ask for the Vegas odds of Twins being no-hit today...when the rookie gets a clean single.

 

If Houston scores one more run, its over. As it is, how the Twins are going to get even one right now is hard to imagine. since the game on Sunday...the offense just went home.

[h2oface]

How a batter watches a 93 mph fastball with no movement go by right down the pipe, center center, and then swings at and dribbles a change up dropping out instead always amazes me.

Bremergasm.

I was just happy to see him at the plate.

[Otto von Ballpark]

 

His whole year was not good.

His stats were fine this year until July...

[FlauerPauer]

Kirilloff looks like a major league. No reason he shouldn't start in the bigs next year.

[MNT1996]

All I'm watching this game for is the Kirilloff at-bats now. Everything else is predictable. 

[TFRazor]

Look, it went where Donaldson is supposed to be

[FlauerPauer]

So glad Marwin won't be back next year.

Is this your first postseason as a Twins fan?

[Aggies7]

Sigh 

[USAFChief]

Defense hurts the Twins again.

[Vanimal46]

Lol good try, I guess?

[John Kelsey]

Second play of the series Donaldson would have made. 

[USAFChief]

Now Berrios back in the stretch...not good.

[mrtwinsfan]

CORREA AND GONZALEZ ARE GREAT FRIENDS,,   t.Y. mARVIN

[Vanimal46]

Second play of the series Donaldson would have made.

Tim K just read your post live on TV!

[TFRazor]

If nothing else, this is the last game we'll see Marwin in a twins uni

[TFRazor]

WTF was that

[MNT1996]

Kirilloff is the only life this team has

[Crackedfungo]

The KID looks pretty damn good on the field and at bat.

[Vanimal46]

Glad that Kirilloff came to play today!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Kirilloff flashing the leather.

[wsnydes]

I hear Yakety Sax all of a sudden.

[MNT1996]

Trade Kepler, Rosario, Polanco, Sano. Start Kirilloff, Rooker, Larnach, Lewis next year.

[SF Twins Fan]

What a catch Rook!

[woolywoolhouse]

It's the Alex Kiriloff show today. Which would be great, if this wasn't his first major league game ever, and it was an elimination playoff game.

[USAFChief]

Routine can of corn turned into a sliding catch, but at least it's a catch. Where TF was Kepler?

[insagt1]

guys that should be swinging at the first pitch (because they fan a lot) don';t...and ones that should lay off (the Turtle) swing and hit weak grounders ...because pitchers know they swing at first pitches.

 

Will this game come down to not scoring in the 1st inning when they had Houston on the ropes?

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Just need 8 more Kiriloffs in the lineup and field. How sad it is it that in the biggest moments of the season the player making his MLB debut is the only one doing anything?? Someone else do something for the love of God
