Wallner with the walk-off. Unpossible.

Might have been touched on already, but can I comment on how awful that walk off call was for Dick Bremar? It is 100% time to bring in some new blood. He’s just too old.

How in the world can you take that many strikes, that aren't even borderline?  Rhetorical question, don't need multiple responses.

Because hitters also work off scouting reports.  A pitch down the middle on the first pitch might mean that they know the pitcher throw a change 69% of the time and are sitting on it.... and a fastball came.   Vice-versa for the opposite. 

 

Also, when hitters jump on the first pitch and the opposing pitcher throws 4 pitches in an inning because 3 of those swings went for outs, all you hear is how impatient hitters are and how they can't work the count.  It works both ways.

My magic number is 24. 24 more wins is 83 wins for the year and the over number of Twins victories for the year. Over/under number was 82.5 and I bet the over.

Such a brilliant statement.

About as brilliant as the statement of bringing someone in from the bullpen to play 2nd base
