More insurance runs, please.  Let's wear out the Astros' bullpen.

Good thing we have another cy young contender going on Tuesday

Agreed!!

That's one run in 12.1 playoff innings off Lopez.

Castro at 3B, Polo at 2B should be it going forward. Let Julien be our PH weapon. (Unless Lewis can play 3B of course.)

Keep Castro in Left and Farmer at Third.

I can’t overstate how much it annoys me that they interview players in the middle of the game.  Just stop already.

[RickOShea]

I'm glad Pablo became a ball player and not a doctor.  Can you imagine hearing those damn cleats clicking up and down the hospital halls all day?

[mrtwinsfan]

Enough  of these interviews,  Sickening

What a great performance. Gotta love that trade

Both teams got their dream outcome, which rarely happens. This is how trades should work out. 

[IndianaTwin]

Lopez is very articulate. I bet he's pretty smart. I heard somewhere that he was accepted into medical school...

And Sonny will be motivated to prove that he is the true ace like the Twins' Don Drysdale.

That would be OK too. Wallner hasn't done much so far.

That means a couple Cy Youngs for TC and in '28 or'29 the second Mets pitcher no hitter.

😂😂😂 Yes except the trade/Mets part.

It could be worse and they interview them WHILE they're playing like Apple TV. 

[Aggies7]

Kirilloff is just not it right now 

[Linus]

Lopez is a really intelligent good dude. And a helluva pitcher. 

[2wins87]

Stewart to Duran?

No reason not to use the best guys probably.

Kepler -Kiroloff and Wallner   all need  to  start hitting ,a bit,  PRESSURE  ??

All our lefties have been terrible except for Julien.

Yes,, he was thinking of becoming a doctor or possibly a vet.  He decided on baseball as a vet works too  much in a dog eat dog world.

I can't stand to watch him hit.

Kepler does hit, but when he does not, he looks like he trying get a walk,  not a hit.

[CoastiePilot08]

Stewart coming back is low-key big

I like not showing them the highest-leverage guys.

High key

That's a decent reason.

Who gets the 9th? Jax, Pagan?

[howeda7]

Throw strikes.
