If KC and Det win and Twins lose tonight, Twins are out of playoff.   Right?

Nope. It takes a LONG time to be eliminated when you start with a 10-and-a-half game lead on the competition.

[NYCTK]

Pimping a single. Hilarious. 

[Danchat]

This is it... two guys on down two runs in the 8th. Gotta get this game tied at least.

Negative.  Twins have tiebreaker on both.  But Twins have to sweep the O's and one of those other 2 have to lose all 3.

BROOKS LEE EVERYBODY

My spidey sense almost tells me the Marlins lose this game yet 

You’re welcome, Twins Daily. 🙂

[Parfigliano]

Thats the Lee that was advertised 

[jaimedude]

Yes!

[Longdistancetwins]

Just tuned in. That used to be more meaningful a few months ago…

Poor Correa, missed the playoffs 3 times in his career, 2 of them with the Twins, and the last before time before that in 2016. Had he stayed with the Astros, could have been a HOFer just off his postseason resume alone, now he's stuck in baseball purgatory.

[OvertheHill]

Santana hustle makes up for not being on 2nd after he hit that double, Morny’s lame excuse notwithstanding.

I trade Duran this offseason. He's not the best reliever; he shouldn't be in all of the biggest situations.

But he's still really good and other teams would pay handsomely for him.

I would too actually. But more because I think next year is basically lost and 2026 he'll be paid like 6 million. And the pohlads can't have that. 

[jaimedude]

Jeffers, and Castro 👎

[OvertheHill]

+1 for Watkins 

[Linus]

You would think we could just run hard out of the box. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Marlins will be swinging out of their shoes this inning. It’s what terrible teams do.

That is no one's fault but Duran. No manager in baseball would refuse to use their best reliever outside of save situations. Anyone that ever complained about Duran coming in outside of a save situation is babying him. 

 

 

Actually if you look at the best teams, their closers only pitch in the ninth inning during the regular season.

He'd have been hosed at second.  By ten steps. 

[Tlaker]

Damn lead off walk!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I’d love to see this pinch runner get tagged out while stretching his quads a foot off the base lol 

[Randy Griffith]

Making our own problems by walking the lead-off.  "It's deja-vu all over again."

I thought guys who don't wear shoes were banned from the game.

Or was it just the one guy? I'm a few beers in.

[exeoud]

Good job Duran. Leadoff walk to the 9 hitter with a .583 OPS

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

lol, not close

I think it would have been a lot closer than that IF he had been running off the bat. But yeah it worked out as it was. 

[Parfigliano]

Nice tag

Problem I see is new owners would probably want to move the team to Nashville, Portland, Charlotte or some other city

Exactly. Sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.

Jeffers with the throw of his life
