I'd guess it would be nearly impossible for Miranda to hit an inside the park home run.

I think the best he can do is an inside the park triple.

Not if Delmon Young was playing outfield again.

By the way, the White Sox were mathematically eliminated from the divisional race last night. If they win out, they get to 71 wins. Cleveland had 70 wins going into today, the Twins 66 and Kansas City 65, but they play enough games amongst themselves that at least one of them has get to 72 or more, even if all three teams lose all their other games. 

They’ve been eliminated from the wild card for a while, since so many teams are at least close to 72 wins already and they all play each other.

But they did 10-run the Yanks last night and that should have banished NYY to AAA.

It was my understanding that there would be no math.

Yeah....I see where last night Naylor was struck out in the 3rd inning or so which would have been the 3rd out....instead it was called a ball and they went on to score 5 runs.

There is no math. Just a conspiracy of counters.

By the way...

 

Go Thielbar!

I thought Miranda was gonna pull a Ben Revere coming around 2nd.

That was an amazing triple by Benny  , a highlight that year for sure ...

[ziggy]

Theilbar is pretty good when the Twins have an 8 run lead.

IT Jr. told me last night, and I forgot until now. After they snapped their losing streak, his comment was, “They are so bad they can’t even break the losing streak record.”

They should.put me in.  I'd walk the bases full, walk in 2 runs, but literally ANYONE who came in after me would look like vintage Randy Johnson.

[TwinsCD]

🚨CYCLE WATCH🚨

8th inning likely but possibly this inning.

[IndianaTwin]

Farmer planted that one!!!!!!!!

[TwinsCD]

Goodness....who's that dude wearing #12 for the Twins?

[ziggy]

Farmer gives a f u to Twins Daily posters!

[Patzky]

ROCCO KNEW.

[Aggies7]

84% of the umpire crews might have a guy from Cleveland and the other 16% could have a guy from Dayton  or Columbus. They're just lucky. That's all.  If you say it often enough it may be true. How lucky can a team be? I mean how lucky can Farmer be to get his 1st homer in Aug.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Farm Dog!!!!!!

I feel like when the Yanks are eliminated, you pop champagne.   When the white Sox bow out...?  Beer and Brat?

You got to tip your cap to the hitters tonight , they came to hit for zebby's debut and as it looks , his first win in his first start  ...

Relegation isn’t a factor in MLB, but in this case, it probably should be. 

[jimbo92107]

Chances are looking good...

[Joe A. Preusser]

I mean, how sick and awesome would it be if Farmer got white hot through the playoffs?
