Big Papi and Jeter changing their tunes tonight. But not quite willing to eat that black bird.

You didn’t know that? His parents are/were ballet dancers

[Squirrel]

Good pitching beats good hitting

[IndyTwinsFan]

Let's finish this on a positive note at home with Sonny and Joe (maybe?).

[Squirrel]

Does the black under the eyes really help? I mean, I guess it does or they wouldn’t wear it

Yeah, he’s very so so … its how they get the Yankees and the Red Sox in the post season, that post-game commentators

But it's funny when A-Roid calls him out!!

Eddie Julien delivering as a pinch hitter was awesome. Total team win today, but Pablo Lopez is making good on that contract extension already. This team has good vibes right now.

MLB needs to share the official box that umpires are graded on with the networks. According to the tv box home plate umpiring is really bad. Would like to compare.

It’s kind of ridiculous that him, arod, and now jeter are the studio commentators. It’s just too much Yankees Red Sox for me

The zone was all over the place tonight for both sides. It floated around as the game went on. Maybe they’re saving the best ball strike guys for the CS and WS

Yeah. I actually felt the second half of the game may have leaned toward the Twins but the zone felt like it was increasingly erratic.

Yep. And Papi saying at the top of the game how the Twins were done. Stfu, Papi

He should wake up and pray to whatever he worships that TC traded him to Boston.  That trade made him. 

Period.

He wasn’t traded. Minnesota released him and then the Red Sox signed him.

The zone should be the zone. A constant.  Not "erratic".  No that pitch is a strike because the hitter is a rookie/vet or a ball because of pitcher rookie/vet.
