I usually stay positive, not always, but a lot of the negative posters bring up valid points, and they’re a big part of this site.

A team that hasn’t won a playoff game since the bush administration is going to have some unsatisfied fans. Maybe it’s a Midwest thing, I don’t know

We’ll, they lost 19 playoff games in a row, how is that even possible?

[Mill1634]

Duran vs Clase now.

 

I don't like our odds

[Aggies7]

Urshela 4 for his last 34

[stringer bell]

Cleveland bullpen gave up three, Twins bullpen (in one less inning) gave up two. That’s the way it goes. I’d definitely take the Cleveland ‘pen over the Twins ‘pen, but on any given day………

Arraez is batting .364

[Aggies7]

Palacios with two of the worst swings you’ll ever see on consecutive pitches from Duran

I think Reyes figured out what was coming...

Whenever pagan blows one, I always think about this guy on Twitter who tried to convince me that pagan is every bit as good an option as Duran in these situations. Because closers are overrated

Was his Twitter handle @RoccoBaldelli?

So who's to blame on a 6 pitch same pitch sequence?

[Aggies7]

Ughhhh

[Mill1634]

And THAT is why the advanced defensive numbers don't like Urshella. For every flashy play he makes, there is a play like that.

Ultimately the pitcher. 

[Montdak]

It’s always something with these guys.

[Vanimal46]

Underrated aspect of that infield hit was Kirilloff’s scoop.

Who knows?  maybe Pagan told Jeffers he was going to throw him nothing but cutters

[Brock Beauchamp]

This umpire is not awesome. 

[stringer bell]

Infield hit, now two missed strike calls.

That's what I thought, but the replay made it clear that the ball took a very funny, low hop. Could have made the play, but could also have let it go by and I wouldn't have blamed him. He's not Brooks Robinson.

win it here fellas,  if not ya gotta start Duran in the 10th , with a runner on 2nd ?

Tomorrow's home plate umpire will probably be worse.....

[Montdak]

Three guys capable of running into one.  They better or Ramirez puts them ahead in tenth .  Absolutely no way he won’t.

[a-wan]

The ball took a funky cut on Urshela. I was thinking error but the replay showed he played it pretty well 

[Vanimal46]

It would be outstanding to get a run here before Manfred Ball begins.

Yeah. That was a wonky bounce. Maybe Urshela was a little too lackadaisical on the ball but it was a weird hop. 

[Mill1634]

No shot Garlick doesn't get on base here. 

[stringer bell]

I wanted to see Kirilloff walk them off.
