Game Thread: Angels (Wentz) v Twins (Ryan), 9/34 @ 1:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

Go Twins!

 

[umterp23]

Win the series today and then enjoy the final week of the season.  Slim to none for 2 seed but give the Royals credit for beating up on teams as they close out a woeful year for them.

Willi gets another day off. I hope he isn’t nicked from his dive from Friday night. Polanco has been poor at third, but who else is going to play there?

Royals win and its a SWEEP in  Houston,  if they dont make it  as Division winners and come Here and do what they did to the Twins last time Here,   Heads should roll

[stringer bell]

Rehab update: Buxton, Gallo and Gordon all in the lineup for the Saints’  season finalé. All are hitless so far. Stewart and Alcalá are in the bullpen. 

[Melissa]

We’re here in Section 108! Beautiful day.

[CRF]

Just saw that they activated Paddack today. I'd bet we see him out there pretty soon. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey my all time not Favorite Ump   Phil Cuzzi  home plate today

[stringer bell]

Rehab update: Gordon 0-2, strikeout, walk and caught stealing. Buxton and Gallo 0-3 with one K each. 

[9moons27]

I can't stand to watch Kiriloff hit. He pulls off every pitch and takes wild swings while stepping in the bucket.

[Dave Borton]

Saints ahead, 3-2, top 8.

Buxton, 3-0, 1K

Gallo, 3-0, 1K

 

Whoops, just saw Stringer's

If you are an umpire and everyone knows your name, you're probably a terrible umpire.

Obviously.

Let's chase that #2 seed!

[Dave Borton]

KLAA, Terry Smith, radio play by play. Longest serving continuous radio announcer for Angels. Horrible. Monotone, stacato delivery. Mark Langston, former MLB pitcher does color. Well done but clearly 2nd fiddle to Smith.

Have to bear my way thru with Gladd...

Go Royals,   its funny what there doing to Houston

[RpR]

Wallner could, score a lot of runs without swinging a bat, gets a lot of walks and gets hit, by the ball a lot.

Odd with his large strike zone.🙃

Living outside of KC it's been nice to see the Royals cause havoc to Cleveland last week and now Houston

[9moons27]

What's happened to Bremer's fly ball judgement. I probably couldn't do any better, but he's been watching fly balls for decades. His vision must be deteriorating.

[PDX Twin]

Rain delay = Best call of the game by the umpires!

[stringer bell]

The much maligned contact way brought in the lead run even with Jeffers running. Paddack might not get a chance to pitch now. 

[RpR]

I see Gordon is maintaining a .100 battng average with an OPS of .367.

Nice guy but his days with the Twins should be short.

10 Ks for the Saints, they are a real Twins Org. team.

Castro is a much better super utility player. They need to re-sign him and trade or DFA Gordon

[BH67]

Both the Vikings and Gophers football seasons have ended, and it's still a week before the baseball playoffs. Go Twins!

Cousins has to clock that ball, letting 20 seconds tick off was stupidity. 

[SteveLV]

Vikes need to have a heart to heart with Cousins, get him to waive his no-trade clause, and fleece the Jets. Re-build around JJ and Addision and their 2 OT's and burn the rest to the ground.  Kwesi needs to take advantage of this opportunity on a lost season to set the Team up for success down the road, and, hopefully, Caleb Williams as the QBOTF.

[SteveLV]

2 chances to score inside the 10, zero points.  'Nuff said.

[SteveLV]

(I hope it is ok with the Mods to talk Vikings during the rain delay....)
