He has a 122 wRC+ and a 127 OPS+. He's still a way above average hitter.

Yeah, but among way above-average hitters, he's nothing special.

[ashbury]

OK Cave. Don't make an out.

If nobody makes an out the rest of the way, we win. Don't make an out.

[h2oface]

Arraez doesn't reach on an error because it was a fielder's choice, Dick. Rule is you can't assume the double play. He gets second on an error, though.

[ashbury]

There ya go, Cave-zie.

Same for Jeffers-zie now.

[ashbury]

Oof. Kids these days. They don't listen.

I don't know, but I think perhaps you jinxed it

[h2oface]

No glory for Jeffers. Damn.

[RpR]

No shift on Jeffers and he hit to the fielder anyway.

[h2oface]

Thielbar with an "inherited runner" in scoring position. We bring in the heat.... or maybe more like the Indian Summer. This crap rule can't change back to real baseball soon enough.

[Irishman]

What is Twins’ extra inning record this season?

Same mojo for Cave didn't transfer.

Flash Gordon strikes again, without bunting!?

Maybe, just maybe he is the next Caesar Tovar.

[h2oface]

Should Diaz hold Jeffers? Sure. He always does. Probably a good thing for once.

[Aggies7]

Bases loaded, no outs. Our old nemesis.

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Refi!!!!!

hush!!! you jinx machine!

[Danchat]

This would be quite the stunner if we don't win here. Thankfully Maeda won't have to hit with Astudillo on the bench!

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding me haha come on

[Squirrel]

I'm blaming aggies

[ashbury]

POLANCO!

[Aggies7]

Polanco is out of this world.

[RpR]

Cleveland makes a great play and still loses; the Twins jinx is spreading.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a really nice play by Ramirez but no one can stop Jorge ****ing Polanco right now.

[LaBombo]

Polan-kozee!!!

[Squirrel]

omg that was ****ing awesome!!!! I love it!

[jimbo92107]

Polanco! The man can play baseball.
