Hit did not hurt the walk did.

That was during the period where I also rooted for the Giants. After the year he played for them, they would have paid to get rid of him! "Cancer in the clubhouse" was one comment.

And yet, basically won the series for the Twins…the last time the Twins ever won a postseason series. Only want him if you are in it for one thing and one thing only. Winning.

Alex Cobb 3rd time through... Unbelievable 

[AussieG]

Come 'on Polo do some thing good

[stringer bell]

Kulpa has missed too many calls for a veteran HP ump.

2 out bunt attempt...not good.  Triple not good if put on from bench

Not if your a Vet with no fear of consequences.

[stringer bell]

Questionable strategy for #3 hitter to bunt with two outs and Miranda on deck. Miranda hasn't been hitting as well the last week to ten days.

I thought he picked the walk off.

Didn't the hit batsman came round to score?

Yep, my error, I am only following on Gamecast.

[AussieG]

Should of saved a few of those runs from last night me thinks

I am frustrated they break up plays by innings, so you can't just scroll through them. And it makes it even worse when it resets before you complete the inning.

We grow through struggling.

 

But i would like to see more growing and less struggling...

Alex Cobb has a 3.03 ERA since June 1st not including tonight.  His season long 3.00 FIP and 2.88 xFIP back that up too.  He has been a fantastic pitcher since a slow start.

He has good stuff. If he locates that 2 seam, splitter combo, occasional curve he is tuff. But I guess that's the same for any pitcher

[RpR]

MIranda is definely not Flash on the base lines.

yeah that was a sneaky signing by the Giants, 2 years $20M and a 10M option on the 3rd season.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Twins scored 0 runs tonight after last night's output.

This is aging better than I would like

[wabene]

Thielbar is such a good story and not a bad pitcher either. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Nice listening to these guys, and how they work together,   oh oh  Tornado warning in hastings

[IndyTwinsFan]

After a one game reprieve, I see we're back the the no offense game plan we've become so accustomed to lately. 

Sigh!
