Will Buxton get an at bat & chance for 20 homers on the season?

Only if Colome gives up 4 in the bottom of the 9th.  So yeah, maybe.  No, Alcala stays in.

Alex Colome in a Twins uniform ends this afternoon.  Hopefully.

Don't forget Jake Cave & Andrelton Simmons!!!!!

Dick Bremer is spouting false information. He said that if Toronto and the Yankees meet in the wild card postseason game that Toronto would host due to a better head-to-head record. This is wrong. The Yankees will host the wild card postseason game no matter who is the opponent because they have a better 162-game record than any of the other teams.

I'm shocked that we didn't lose 90 games this year! Here's to the 8th pick in the draft next year!!!!!

Sawx just took a 7-5 lead at Washington on a Devers HR in the top of the 9th and will host the Bombers in the wild card game if they hang on (both 92 wins, Boston won the season series 10-9).

Griffen Jax and Charlie Barnes need to be stalwarts in the St Paul rotation next year. If either get starts in the big leagues 2022 will be similar to 2021.

Winnah!

 

Thanks for the company, both this afternoon, and for the past 5 months.
