Seattle and Milwaukee would be an interesting series considering what happened with the Pilots franchise 😂

Either one could wear the Twins' City Connect unis and they wouldn't feel out of place

[mnfireman]

Seattle should have used a challenge there, Raleigh looked safe in super slo-mo....

I've said this many times ,  the twins need to hit to all fields , it doesn't have to be with power but power is nice ,,,

our new twins manager and hitting coaches need to emphasize to the players  the plan is to get on base  , hit the pitch where it's pitched  ...

[Vanimal46]

I know very little about Seattle’s SP Miller.

Leads to a 27 pitch inning by Miller, not challenging hitters....

Still a lot of bullets thrown by a starter the team needs to go at least 5 innings because their BP is overused coming out of Detroit

[Parfigliano]

Error.  Error.  Error.

Been in there rotation for 3 years , last year he had a good year with an era just below 3 ...

This year he was injured and only pitched half a season and it was a rough season for him , era over 5 ...

Kirby (66 pitches), Castillo (15) and Gilbert (34), 3 of the 4 starters they have used in the play-offs pitched on Friday. 

Bazardo, Brash, Munoz and Speier all pitched in at least 4 of 5 games in the ALDS, and all pitched on Friday, with Bazardo, Brash, and Munoz all throwing multiple innings and at least 25 pitches each. Their staff is tired...

[mnfireman]

Miller has settled in nicely, 50 pitches over 4 innings and only the Springer lead-off HR, well played young man, well played....

No doubt there over worked and tired,  it was Gilbert that pitched instead of Miller,  my mistake  , I still haven't caught up on my sleep from that 15 inning awesome elimination game ...

Raleigh with a big dump....

[Blyleven2011]

We have a new game all tied up ...

Louie is warming up for Toronto  ....

[mnfireman]

Polanco comes through again....

[Blyleven2011]

Miller has done well after that first 27 pitch first inning   ....

And I'm glad we have some announcers that aren't screaming into the mike ..

[Vanimal46]

I’m neutral overall about this ALCS with a slight lean towards Seattle winning it. 

[Vanimal46]

Varland nearly gave up a HR but it was a foot short 

[Parfigliano]

For Louie I'm guessing being in this series has taken a lot of the sting out of being traded
