We gotta one run lead heading into the 8th! This game is a lock!

Anyone else getting their tv lead from MLB?  I'm in the top of the 7th inning.

Spoiler alert!!!!!!!  I'd just turn the TV off now. You won't like the results of the 7th inning....The 8th and 9th inning might not be pretty either.

All the time in the world, Arraez.

My spell check on the computer automatically changes "over" to Ober. WTF?

[USAFChief]

Kepler!! Hits one Ober the left field wall!!

[Aggies7]

Perfectly executed safety squeeze

[USAFChief]

I don't believe....what I just saw!

[Brock Beauchamp]

A safety squeeze? By the Twins? In 2021?

[USAFChief]

Colome for the 9th?

[Danchat]

I have little faith in Robles holding down the 9th with how bad he's looked, but a 3 run lead... guaranteed, at least 2 will score here.

[howeda7]

How can you pitch Robles here? Fire Rocco. 

[USAFChief]

Hansel, Robe-less.

 

Not a pretty sight. 

[Aggies7]

Robles is so bad but what’s the other option at this point

The problem is, he's the least objectionable option.

I guess Alcala, since he usually only gives up solo HRs? But I don't envy his decision here... he did try to get too much out of Thielbar, but it isn't Rocco's fault that Duffey also looked like crap today.

Not out of the woods yet...

Winnah.

Alcala is less objectionable at the moment. 

[Danchat]

Oh, so now Arraez can make a routine throw to 1st to end the game. Too bad he couldn't do that last time this situation popped up...
