This is it right here. Batters 2-4 are due up, with Sano batting 4th this inning. If they don't tie it up at least here in the 8th, they're done.

 

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Lol Kepler stares at two meatballs

[USAFChief]

Baker doesn't even feel the need to swap relievers. 

[Mill1634]

 

Does cave bat or buxton PH

Cave hits vs a RHP i think

Tim Timmons, turn in your umpiring gear, you POS.  Little League World Series umpires don't miss those calls back to back.  Must have had a nice 10am mimosa at the hotel.

 

You joke, but my theory is that the umps in general have been so bored this year, presumably having to follow the same quarantine measures as the players, they are either drunk or hungover af every game.

The TC on Nelson's helmet being sideways is so fitting

[mrtwinsfan]

?? for you boys ? So today Stashek 1st arm out of the pen after 5th- has a decent 6th so Rocco sends him back out- Boom H.R. FOR Astros, Yesteday MAY WHO to me is much more a option than Stashak only gets one inning and he had no trouble, Sure Rocco had his plan of Duffey maybe going 2 ? never know now, He seems to have a bad habit of giving the momentum away when we r in the drivers seat,  insane , hate these pre-set plans he seems to have with no thought of the MOMENT,  Sorry for the rant -just pissed like all of us

[Mill1634]

I think you have to run Buxton for the next person that gets on, regardless of who it is

[Danchat]

 

It would be nice to watch some playoff games where the teams actually SCORE RUNS!

Have you turned on the Cincinnati-Atlanta game? That's an exciting one, 0-0 in the 12th.

[wsnydes]

Hey, a pop up!  

[Aggies7]

Pop up.

[woolywoolhouse]

What's the record for pop-up outs in a single postseason game?

[TwinsCD]

As pathetic a  performance at the plate that I've ever seen by a team not facing a 90s Braves or 90s/2000s Yankees staff.  They're letting a ton of no-name pitchers dominate them.

[MNT1996]

I don't care if it costs a 100 million. Bring back James Rowson

[Vanimal46]

Kepler. Yikes dude.

[Mill1634]

Cruz just missed his pitch....yikes

[USAFChief]

Nelson missed his pitch.

[Aggies7]

Hanger to Cruz. Nothing taken advantage of 

[SpicyGarvSauce]

Could be Cruz's last PA as a Twin.

[Aggies7]

 

Could be Cruz's last PA as a Twin.

Dang, we aren’t gonna have anyone left with all these guys getting their last AB

[MNT1996]

 

Could be Cruz's last PA as a Twin.

 

I wouldn't blame him. I'd want to go to a team that can actually win a playoff game

[Aggies7]

You almost have to pinch run here right 

[wsnydes]

A baserunner?!?

[TwinsCD]

He'd better be going on one of the first 2 pitches.

[SpicyGarvSauce]

 

Dang, we aren’t gonna have anyone left with all these guys getting their last AB

And to some, good riddance.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Could be Cruz's last PA as a Twin.

He should go to a team where his teammates actually care about winning playoff games

[MNT1996]

??? I thought the guy had concussion symptoms. And they're bringing him in to run? 

[USAFChief]

Cmon Ed...Cmon Jake!

[Aggies7]

The guy who didn’t feel well enough to play, not sure how much confidence there is in stealing him

[FlauerPauer]

You don't send Buck here, right?
