No losing streak.  WTF Arod gonna babble about tomorrow?

He could talk about the Jays and how they have the longest playoff losing streak of any MLB team. 

[RIP BYTO]

Arod has got to be the worst color commentator in MLB

[Squirrel]

What kind of postgame coverage is this? I want a Twins wrap, not a TB/Rangers wrap

[Beast]

That game alone makes the Arraez trade worth it.

I'd much rather have AJ in that role in this series.

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE MINNESOTA TWINS DO NOT LOSE 19 PLAYOFF GAMES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!

He’s just trying not to be a conspiracy theory.

Hope Polanco brings his A game tomorrow.   He was off

You need to remember, ESPN does NOT like acknowledging that the Twins even exist.  Been that way for a very long time.

Sad, but true.

I in no way did anything weird to manifest a Twins win today.  Definitely no lighting of any candles with different era's of Twins hats surrounding it.  Totally normal behavior.

 

I'M JUST TRYING TO DO MY PART!

Thanks

Impressed by duran. He overthrew to merrifield but all things considered that was a pleasant surprise

Unfortunately, AJ works for Fox, not ESPN.

Polanco was terrible.  Two botched plays at third (bailed out by Correa in one), and didn’t look good at the plate.

That guy’s got so much bad playoff juju pumping through his veins.  Hopefully it’s out his system now.

You have to have him in the lineup, but put him down in the 8 or 9 hole.

If I was being objective, I'd say A-Rod was 100% in the Twins corner.

Not saying I like him, but he sure seemed to have more positive things to say about the Twins than the Blue Jays.

Maybe he'll calm down now that he finally has a playoff win, but I would start Farmer instead of him tomorrow. He and Kepler both seemed to be carrying the weight of the playoff stigma.

An 18-game post-season winning streak would take us well into next year...

He brought his A game. As in Atrocious 

[mrtwinsfan]

anyone else notice  springer  yelling at merrifield  in the dugout ?   about that great play by solano,  probably telling him he should of interferred ?,  springer has been known for being a a=hole

[mrtwinsfan]

finally,  thank you royce and the pitching staff today

Doesn't look healthy to me. Castro at 3B maybe. Pinch hit Polanco in a clutch situation. That's when he's great.

I like the way your thinking!

[Azviking101]

I guess I never expected the twins would break the streak to the sound of Michael Kay. What a day

And a-rod. Maybe Joe Nathan was “tipping his pitches” when he gave up the homer to him. Or maybe it was the juice

He's been one of the Twins better players in past playoff losses.

I'd be thrilled to see Polanco starting at second tomorrow, but I don't think they want to risk putting Lewis in at 3rd, and he's definitely in the lineup tomorrow after today's game.  I don't want to see any more Polanco at 3B, but it's a tough spot.

Yes, wondering the same thing.

Yeah, I did see that. Springer looked like he was pretty hot about something.

Small request:  Can we ditch the green lineup sticky in tomorrow's game thread?  I think most of us have seen the lineup by the time the game starts, and since Rocco will start pinch hitting in the 3rd inning it rapidly becomes irrelevant and innacurate.

Thanks.

It is kind of ironic.
