Lollygagging abreu

Abreu is worse than any Twins baserunner, except Lewis who is injured.

[Brock Beauchamp]

How embarrassing. 

[Parfigliano]

Abreu's inner White Sox jogs into 2nd for the out.

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

Alvarez is a good hitter against both LH and RH pitching, but his 2023 OPS is roughly 150 points higher off right handers

LFG boys

Rocco made the right move. Alvarez is one of the best hitters in the game and he made the swing.

Cmon Fellas  ,  lets go

[rwilfong86]

Let's tie this up here in the 8th

[IndianaTwin]

I hope this Abreu pitches like the other Abreu runs. 

[rwilfong86]

Here we go, let's keep this rally going

[Aggies7]

Have a series correa

[CoastiePilot08]

Wallner needs to put together a good AB. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Come on Wallner. Lay off the low junk 

[IndianaTwin]

Correa pulls up a little like Usain Bolt in a preliminary heat!

[rwilfong86]

Come on Wallner, one swing ties it up

Luck has zip to do with it, simply poor play.

I'd consider hitting rockets right at guys, some bad luck. Bad base running is a completely different matter. 

[howeda7]

Wallner looks over-matched this post season. 

[rwilfong86]

Jeffers can be the hero here

[USAFChief]

Uffda. 

Need better, Wallner.

Noncompetitve ABs all post season

Ooh, disagree. I'd start a GoFundMe to get Wainwright out of the booth.

Having him read the NFL intro ad was a little suspect. But he’s giving good player based insight which is what I would want from him. Delivery is expected to be rough.  He’s got a future in broadcasting if he wants it.  AJ used to suck. 

[Aggies7]

Wallner and kirilloff have been black holes

[rwilfong86]

Correa to 3rd. Let's see if Jeffers can drive him in

[Parfigliano]

K's kill.

[glunn]

That hurt.

[Aggies7]

More strikeouts in key situations 

[rwilfong86]

Come on Willi

[glunn]

Castro needs to be clutch here.

[CoastiePilot08]

Tough game for wallner

[CoastiePilot08]

How did Jeffers miss that hanger?

igh.
