I'd imagine Martin to center 

You're probably right but I think I'd want Lewis's bat still in the game.

[ChermesZ]

Wasn’t a strike.  I’m sure it was an emphatic dance behind home plate.

Duran or Jax in the 9th?  Hard to say.  One could make a viable case for either one.

We'll get Jax and that's a good call.  Then Duran in the 10th if we get there.

Come on Julien, you had to know the ump wasn't giving you the close call, even if the pitch was outside.

Nope, gotta be tough with 2.  And that box isn't wide enough anyway.

Me, too.  Whew!

[USAFChief]

Top of the order. 

Sounds like runs.

[Craig Arko]

Good thing Wally got his glove back.

[Parfigliano]

We've reaced the point in the contest wear we switch from baseball to manfredball

[Hashim]

Whaaaaat? What happened? I left at 4-0. Why didn’t he take out Alcala? 🤬🤬🤬

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Butt clenching advance there

[Tlaker]

You shouldn't have left.

[TwinsCD]

Like the sun rising in the east, you can bet the Twins will get thrown out on the damn contact play.

3rd best reliever blows up in a historically bad fashion, blame Rocco!!

He could’ve took him out. He’s the manager. Isn’t it his main job?

[Aggies7]

The contact play is ****ing stupid and always will be 

[USAFChief]

Cmon Miranda. Terrible 

[Tlaker]

Live and die with the contact play 

[CCHOF5yearstoolate]

Hate the catcher in the basepath rule for precisely this reason, but I wouldn't be that mad about it today
