Tiger win please.

[Schmoeman5]

I love watching Skubal. Let's trade Correa to the Tigers for him. Throw Lewis in and the Twins get Baez too. Let's shake things up. 😃  note: sarcasm 

[Mike Sixel]

Must win for tigers

Skubal is picking up right where he finished off Astros.

 

[Schmoeman5]

Good start for Tarik

You would need a batting coach just for Baez...

More than 1. Although for whatever reason he has success against the Twins

[Schmoeman5]

Boyd is matching Skubal. Noel's arm is way more accurate than Wallners. He's made 3 consecutive throws right on the money. Dealing with the sidewall on 2 of them.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Correa for Baez, straight up, and the Twins save $9 million a year for the next three years that they can apply to other free agents 🙂 (but also lose a gold glove fielder)

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Skubal retired the first 13 Cleveland hitters, then got a needed dp ball in the 5th 

[Dave Borton]

Need a DP here.

Noisy 34,000.

You got it 

[Dave Borton]

Looked at Skubal's ground ball: fly ball ratio. 

.38

Yet he got two big ones over the last two innings.

[Schmoeman5]

Good defense and good pitching. 0-0 can be kind of boring. But this game has plenty of excitement.  1st team to blink loses. Ump was squeezing Skubal tight. Clase got 1 that was pretty low

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Didn’t realize Skubal was getting squeezed…. Following from work I feel like both teams deserve to win this game. 

[Schmoeman5]

Clase is human. 

[C-Gangster]

I hope my game threads get a lot of comments during the World series.

He had 6-8 pitches on the black. Half were called balls

[Dave Borton]

93.7 mph slider. Boom; Carpenter hits the nail in Guards coffin.

Turns out that he bleeds, and surrenders earned runs, like any other man

I go back to the regular season.  Rocco ph for Larnach in a similar situation 

[Mike Sixel]

Nice.

[mrtwinsfan]

Geez umpire     that was bad 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Now we get ready for the next game; I heard the umpires will be sporting different umpire shirts tonight. 

Tired of living a lie, they will just openly admit to it

He really had a tight zone all game. He did miss a couple extremely low pitches in the 9th for both teams
