And got royally jobbed on alleged strike 2

I wonder what Lewis turned around and said to the ump as he left the HP area when he hit the ball.

Getting 1 run out of bases loaded no outs is the baseball equivalent of settling for a field goal when you had first and goal at the 1

They definitely Fd it up

[Aggies7]

These are the things that make our record against the best teams so poor.

If he's still in the game not what Im sure he wanted to

Cleveland  goes up 2 on da yanks.

Yankees are using there 9th pitcher in their game with the Guardindians.

But nuggets

[exeoud]

Yankees pissed it away against Cleveland like we seem to do. Running out of games. If Cleveland plays .500 ball the rest of the way we would have to go something like 21-15, which is better than our current winning percentage.

Red Sox up in the 9th against the Astros. They seem to be the only threat in keeping us out of the playoffs 

[Aggies7]

Ober is pitching out of his mind. Or shoving, as it may be

Der OberMeister taking care of business.

If we don't win the division we're going to have a brief and nightmare-ish postseason appearance in Baltimore or Yankee Stadium.

Your doom and gloom is encouraging.

A shot of Bailey's will be doubly enjoyable before I call it a night.

I have a question about the Lewis at bat.   Does that count as a double play?   Or is it a sack fly rbi or something completely different?

Lewis gets credit for a sacrifice fly and an RBI.

So they're due.  But in your world, if they get that matchup, the Twins might as well forfeit and let the other team advance on a walkover.

"so they're due"

I feel like I heard the same thing in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2010, 2017, 2019, 2020, and 2023

[TwinsCD]

This team is so freakin terrible with the baserunning.

OK, then give up and enjoy the Vikings.

[Aggies7]

How can anyone argue, with a straight face, that this team is well-coached ??

Unless KC passes us and we play the Al west champ

It's insane to watch a Guardians game even when they don't play us. Absolute piss missiles right into gloves, home runs hitting off the top of the wall, bunts landing right on the chalk. You cannot tell me they are the best team in this division, no shot.

They are scrappy, have a good pen and some power, and they are tough to beat at home...and, yeah, there's some luck thrown in for good measure. The Yanks should have beaten them tonight, for example, but the Guardians just kept hanging in there, as is their wont. We still may catch them but not without a supreme effort and a little luck of our own.   

[gregens]

Does it seem that the Twins have more difficulty running the bases or am I off base?
