Twins (Lopez/Matthews) vs Red Sox (Pivetta/Crawford): 9/22/24, 11:35am/4:35pm

I love the Twins, but it’s really hard to root for these guys and keep hoping that the other teams around them lose too.

Lose game 1, lose the wildcard spot. Win game 2, jump ahead of both Det. and KC. Don’t depend on the tiebreaker but be glad to have it in your back pocket.

Now win game 2.

Seattle just lost on a Texas walk off, Gee i wonder how that feels ????????

[TwinsCD]

Alright, let's try this again.  Once more, with feeling.

[TwinsCD]

Royals just lost 6 in a row at HOME---  Hats off to the Tigers and now they go home and get Tampa- for 3  with Skubal pitching Tues, ,  and there reward for there streak , is White Sox for the final 3  All at home, , Baltimore seems locked into the 4 seed , how will that effect them , when they come here for the final 3 , even that could change and become a issue,  Twins for as bad as they and K.C. have both CHOKED big time still are in a good spot , -  If twins lose again to Boston  today, Myself i dont wanna see them make it, at some point you gotta Earn it, ,   Same batting order except Vasquez for that other catcher we have,  Seattle 5-5 top of 9  they win and they might also have a good chance ,   its exciting as a Fan !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is the best lineup they have.

At least Zebby didn't put us behind the 3 ball from the get go.

Even less here, than at the game there, percentage wise..

[USAFChief]

Yoshida hasn't pulled a ground ball this entire series, yet the Twins still play the max shift. Lucky that one went to the 3rd baseman.

A fascinating playoff push, playing such ugly baseball that even the most diehards don't want to see. 

[Patzky]

Huh the heat in the middle worked. Don't try it again though..

It is hard to watch how the Twins have been playing.

They have seemingly forgot how to hit pitch and play defense all at the same time.

When all three come together it will be beautiful to see.

 

April 6th?

[Patzky]

When Vazquez hits, we all win.

Hope we don’t have to wait that long, but they haven’t given us many indications that they’re close to righting the ship.

Don't forget the baserunning. 

But other than that, things are going great!

It's amazing for how much of a veteran Buxton is, his plate discipline is that of an overeager AAA player.
