I never understood why so many people were saying Ryan had locked up the Game 3 start.  

I doubt this start has any effect on that decision.

NOT impressed with Ty Blach either!

True.

It should, same home run pitcher that loses games.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Would be better all the way around if we didn't have to worry about a game 3 because we won the first two games. 

[RpR]

Ryan is pitching batting practice.

[wabene]

I don't trust Joe in the playoffs

[9moons27]

Houston or Toronto will make mincemeat of this guy. Colorado, one of the worst teams in baseball is doing it now. Gopher Ball Joe.

It's a well known fact that Mile High isn't the best place to judge a pitcher's effectiveness.

Joe's still the same strikeout pitcher that also wins games.

At first, I agreed with this.  Now, I'm not so sure.  He's left a lot of hanging meatballs so far.

At this point, I'd almost rather have Maeda pitch a game 3, if one is needed.

[IaBeanCounter]

The altitude hopefully is affecting Ryan's pitches

[PDX Twin]

I'm very comfortable with Ryan in Game #3, as long as we've already won Games #1 and #2.

Or maybe even Ober.

I’ve said it more than once and I’ll say it again…Joe Ryan cannot start game 3 in a 1-1 series.

And give up home-runs that lose games.

[TWTwinsFan]

Joe Ryan has pitched himself out of playoff roster.

those lazy fastballs ain't work against playoff team

Right, you posted that. Capable of any other thoughts?

Good god man, have you been outside today?

[Jocko87]

Also good to see Stewart get this out of his system.

Nope, he is a meat-ball pitcher, too often.

Maybe not off the roster, but probably off a potential game 3 start.

[wabene]

I'm just over reacting, it's the thin and dry air, right? 

[RpR]

I hope the Twins batters start doing their job.

[TWTwinsFan]

Lopez and Gray will start G1 and G2

Maeda looks will be in the pen

with the poor performance today Ryan will not get G3 nod

it doesn't make sense he being in the roster

[IndianaTwin]

With Toronto having defeated Tampa Bay, there are still 256 permutations of results from the three series that affect AL seeding. Here's the percentages on each combination of seedings:

[RpR]

Well I was going wonder why Larnach was in but he did his job and then Jeffers ties it up!

Yes, start hitting some of these thin air home runs. 

[IndianaTwin]

Should we over-react to one game in Colorado and push for Luplow to make the roster? 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Not sure what Rocco is trying to accomplish with this game, but I have my doubts that they've accomplished any of it thus far, at least on a pitching perspective.

Won't be losing this one.  Mile High giveth, and Mile High taketh away.

So far so good on trying to keep everyone healthy. Not sure they are trying to accomplish much else.
