It's 5am in S. Korea

Wear a Twins jersey and turn on the broadcast

Let's go, Twins

I think the Jays have an advantage in the top 4 in the lineup, but the Twins have the advantage 5-9. Bottom half of the order going to have to do some damage. Pitching feels pretty even. Should be a good series. Go Twins!

[SwainZag]

1-0 Texas after 4 innings in Tampa.  Rangers only able to capitalize and score 1 run on 3 TB errors so far.

They are cheap for tomorrow and Thursday too. These day games during the week are tough for people even if it is the playoffs. 

 

Indeed.  And it didn't help that game times weren't announced until Sunday night.  Tough for many to clear the work calendar that quickly.

Maybe it maximizes tv revenue to not play all games at night, but baseball is increasingly a regional game.  I'll watch all of the Twins games, but the other wildcard games this week...meh... maybe a bit, to whatever degree it is convenient.  Seems the teams would make a lot more money at the gate if they played at night.

[PseudoSABR]

So the entire 40-man gets to be in the clubhouse? I guess that's good that Buxton, Gordon, Lanarch, Luplow, Keuchel can still lend moral support.

[CRF]

Almost game time. This is pretty nerve racking. I hope we're all celebrating a victory in a few hours! GO TWINS!

[Muppet]

Has Joe Buck shown that he knows nothing about the Twins, Minnesota, or baseball yet?

Instead of Joe, we’ve been blessed with the Yankees main guy and ARod. 
lucky us

This is the way...

Sound off.  Music on.

[PDX Twin]

Are there any Jays fans with brooms to honor the potential continuation of the Twins' streak?

[Azviking101]

In 30 minutes they’ve shown 3 separate visuals to show the streak “leaders”

should have made a drinking game out of it

But then you dont get to hear them mention "18 game loss streak" every 3 minutes

[NeverSeenATwinsPlayoffWin]

Michael Kay sounds like he's dead inside calling a postseason game not involving the Yankees

Canadians are that mean spirited? I hope not.

They will surely provide plenty of graphics for that.

I don't feel good about leaving Bailey Ober off the Wild Card roster. He's the best sub for any starter that gets jumped or injured in the first couple innings. 

[CRF]

I think I'm gonna have to turn off the tv sound and listen to Cory and Dazzle. I can't stand A-Fraud, and I don't think I can do Kay either.

Not after he threw 6+ innings on Sunday.

If they need one other than Maeda, I don't like the Twins chances.

I wish I had that option! MLB.TV has turned off the radio option!

*** Correction *** It is on now, despite a banner on the top of the screen saying it was blacked out.

I feel pretty good abouut Varland/Paddack going multiple innings too.  Could easily cover 4+ innings in an emergency situation

[Craig Arko]

Play ball!

[wsnydes]

Really...

[wavedog]

Seems like Kepler should have caught that one - tough play for Kirilloff

Yeah, that's Kepler's ball.  He's got to call of AK.
