Crazy how the outlook of this team has changed.

Can you imagine us back in July looking at the playoff lineup and only second guessing the #9 hitter? Nice recovery Twins.

People would have bitten your head off for even suggesting that the Twins would be in the ALDS.

Lol Pre-game show just highlighted Matt Wallner while showing Larnach taking BP.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Every game now has me so nervous and excited too! I feel like the Twins can beat Houston, but still just nervous to see how it will unfold. C'mon Twins, take this game today..it will be HUUUUUGGE!!!! PTC, Kirilloff, Time for him to have a big post season hit.

Ok so I wasn't the only one that said "that isn't Wallner, thats Larnach"

Did Larnach look good, though?

But Larnach isn't on the playoff roster... is he? Someone hurt?

The bullpen has been the big change for me. Now that we only need 3/4 starters per series, we are able to use some of the other starters in the pen, PLUS, Paddack has looked studly in there and Jax and Duran have been on and HOT. Couple that with our best 3 starters and it looks nice, I will give it to Falvine, this dang team when healthy is flat out built for this. 

Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself here, but I feel really good about this team right now.

Agreed. Paddack and Stewart coming back have been absolute game-changers. Having that kind of depth is critical in the postseason.

Better to be nervous watching TC October baseball then cursing October Gdam Yankees baseball.

Varland, Stewart, Paddack, Duran.

During the playoffs I'm pretty sure I saw each of these guys touch 100mph on the gun. Impressive and that HAMMER bullpen looks like it is finally here.

Tall (not Wallner tall) strapping young lad.

There's a lot of players in the dugout not on the postseason (ALDS anyway) roster.  Wouldn't doubt that Buxton and others got some work in too.

[RocRedWing]

feeling a Wallner tater today. I'm thinking 425 feet, left field.

Then all is not lost! Larnach is our "first off the bus" guy to intimidate the other team. Let's just hope they were watching the pregame and haven't looked at our roster lately.

The network clowns find every opportunity to show Yankees stories. Do they actually think that any Yankee fan would bother to watch Minnesota and Houston, let alone the pregame show?

[wsnydes]

Beautiful day for winning, I say!

[Jerr]

I'm going with a 5-3 Twins win!

I know a great number of yankee fans pulling for the twins since the Astros have given them so many problems in the playoffs

[Brock Beauchamp]

Altuve is so ****ing good.

[nicksaviking]

Nice pitch.

[PDX Twin]

We keep letting the same two guys beat us.

[nicksaviking]

Ugh, come on Kirilloff.

[stringer bell]

My view of my first postseason game. 

[Puckett34]

Can we just pitch around Alverez?

[Brock Beauchamp]

I think the shadows ****ed him there. That ball looked like a nightmare to track.

[Beast]

Nice play Kirilloff.  That’s how you lose a playoff series.

[Aggies7]

Gotta make the plays. Simple as that 

[Parfigliano]

Turds. Double turds.
