GAME THREAD: 9/30/20 Minnesota Twins VS Houston Astros, 12:08 CDT

Jake Cave.

[Battle ur tail off]

Hit the ball fairly hard. But that is a tough spot for a rookie to make his first AB. 

 

Either way, it's another HUGE missed opportunity that likely lowered their spirits. Need a shutout today from Berrios.

Randy Dobnak  game 2 in Yankee Stadium--or this move today,  This is WORSE!!

Jake Cave.

John Fogerty approves.

[Darius]

Another wasted opportunity. Shocking.

Jake Cave.

I'm sure there's some weird 6th inning pinch hit appearance that Rocco has already got marked down for him

[nicksaviking]

I'd think the series in which we finally see Sano learn how to lay off low and outside breaking pitches would be a series to celebrate. Shouldn't the gods be rewarding him for this?

[Aggies7]

Holy ****

[MNT1996]

My goodness. That play was beautiful

[LVTwinsfan]

That’s a heck of a play right there

[TFRazor]

La Makina

[FlauerPauer]

Nice play, Berrios!

[Diesel]

Berrios should get the Gold Glove every year, 

[Battle ur tail off]

Bulldog on the mound today. 

 

He's got it. This is looking like a good day for Jose.

[TFRazor]

Oh look Polanco made that throw

[Aggies7]

Can we get a mother jumping run

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Lets go Berrios!!! Love it.

[woolywoolhouse]

Baldelli! You're on with the ESP staff, and you just heard them call your starting pitcher "Berry-Ohs!" Correct them! 

[FlauerPauer]

7 more innings like that, Jose!

[SF Twins Fan]

Hell of a play by Berrios!

A guy getting his first major league AB with the bases juiced in a playoff game is just another management/FO breakdown, IMO.

 

Why the heck wouldn’t you get the kid some ABs during the regular season if you’re going to use him over Jake Cave in the biggest game of the year?

[USAFChief]

Can Berrios hit?

[Otto von Ballpark]

 

Baldelli! You're on with the ESP staff, and you just heard them call your starting pitcher "Berry-Ohs!" Correct them! 

I had the same thought, but I'll forgive him if he wasn't really listening to the announcers. Frankly I usually don't either.

[Aggies7]

Polanco has not been helpful

[Battle ur tail off]

Polanco is just not staying on the ball right now. He's pulling off it bigtime...

[USAFChief]

Gotta say, Kirilloff coming up to hit with the bases loaded in an elimination game for his FIRST MLB PLATE APPEARANCE is just about the most Twins thing ever.

[TwinsCD]

 

Randy Dobnak  game 2 in Yankee Stadium--or this move today,  This is WORSE!!

 

Dobnak and it's not even close especially given the experience we had with Odo who had pitched in the Bronx before.

[mrtwinsfan]

ANOTHER POLANCO LEFT HANDED A.B. AND ANOTHER SHOULDER DROP, Gotta be 10-15 of them the last month, or am i just watching the same a.b. over and over, mind boggling,

[MNT1996]

Hopefully Gonzalez will be gone next year

[Aggies7]

Lazy fly ball fest.
