Now I wish Paddack had stayed in.

[USAFChief]

Alvarez is pretty good.

[Aggies7]

Ooooooof

[insagt1]

thats exactly what we didn't want to have happen. bummer.

[Parfigliano]

Double turds.

[howeda7]

A bit of over-managing here. Paddack was locked in. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Theilbar,    well that went well

Ok, I’ll bite.  When is the last time a team overcame a 6-4 playoff deficit?

[CoastiePilot08]

Key to the series is not letting Alvarez beat them. Going poorly in game 1

That’s not over managing. Alvarez is just really ****ing good.

Game still far from over.

[rwilfong86]

Alvarez needs to get the Bonds treatment going forward

Oh, my. When will you learn? Look what happened when you did this the first time.

[Hashim]

Damn you Theilbar. Do your damn job or pitch around him.

When Rocco went out there, I said Rocco, you're overthinking it.  Take a lesson from Toronto on Weds!

Well, I also posted “LFG boys” and they scored four runs.  I’m not sure my posts are determinative.

So we need 4.25 more.

Nine of Twelve would clearly agree. 

[BomboRivera1]

So, supposedly Rocco manages by the analytics.  As they're pointing out, a lefty is no advantage against Alavrez.   So...what gives?

Lewis' was projected as 10' farther...

Really? I must have been paying too much attention to my typing.  

[Parfigliano]

These announcers are saying Rocco went off spreadsheet having a LHP face Alvarez.

Never tempt the baseball gods.

[insagt1]

when you make a huge 4 run comeback, you need a shutdown inning, Unfortunately they didn't get one. Another mountain to climb

[rwilfong86]

JEFFERS

 

[glunn]

Jeffers!!!

[Aggies7]

What a throw wow!

[CoastiePilot08]

Not sure second guessing Rocco makes sense here. 
 

thielbar hasn’t given up a HR to a lefty all year. 
 

alvarez is a stud. 

[howeda7]

Abreu thought he was still on the White Sox. Twins deserve some good luck now.
