corey said the yankees won 30 straight season series against the A's way back in the day, so it can still get worse ?

correction, the A's lost every season series from 1932-1968

I just can't make myself watch with Colome on the mound. Can't do it.

[Aggies7]

i'm afraid that might have been the last good chance

Rocco actually got tossed for arguing balls and strikes just before the homer...

right....but someone brought in Colome. 

In any event, sigh. I really thought they'd win this game.......which they still can, I guess.

...and sooo many thought Garver was expendable because Jeffers was the man.

I gotta bow out. I can't watch the upcoming walk-off homer.

I think his batting average is .000 while striking out, whatever percentage of the time that may be.

[Mike Sixel]

Ya, I'm not ready to move on from Garver....but, shockingly, Jeffers is 37th in all of baseball in catcher fWAR this year......and top ten in home runs, IIRC. Unreal how bad catcher hitting is this year across the league outside the top guys.

[Aggies7]

wth was that????

[LVTwinsfan]

Why go all that way just to let it drop 

[ashbury]

Sano..... Dick said it straight out, that ball needs to be caught.

[RpR]

Bringing in 9.00 era Barraclough was the boner that may cost the game.

[wavedog]

Unbelievable - show some effort to catch a pop-up

It is a tie game now, you do the math.

[ashbury]

Is anyone still talking about the Twins picking up the 2022 option on CoLOLome?

[Aggies7]

the 1 run in the last 8 innings played a big part

[Winston Smith]

Lazy effort by Kepler.

I think Alex was the only one talking about that ?

[Rosterman]

Well, when you starter doesn't finish the first on a one game roadtrip. You have a bullpen full of undefined arms, and the one you wanted to close no one wanted at trade deadline. It is hopeless to wish for nice things, I guess.

Going the extra mile, yourself, with that observation?

It was the ball 4 that was strike three to end the inning, no question

[Irishman]

Yankees owning Twins for years.  I’m tired of it.   Yankees should be subjected to contraction next season.  I don’t care about Yankees anymore.   Yankees should be gone.   
 

Any time Yankees are out of the playoffs, I would be happiest man in the world.    Screw Yankees!

I am.  But only in the context of NOT picking of the 2022 option.
