Unbelievable by Snell. One of the most dominant starting pitching performances in years. Let him complete the shutout!

He's in the zone.  Brewer hitters are just lost against him.

[Parfigliano]

What a concept.  The batter goes to the plate with a plan to just put the ball in play.

[Aggies7]

We’re so lucky to have sports 

[Parfigliano]

Just got interesting

[Vanimal46]

The consequence of pulling Snell when he was absolutely locked in to complete the game 

[mrtwinsfan]

Also if the brewers tie here they might see the consequences of using an opener

He was absolutely punking them.

What a game. Entire postseason has been largely great 

[Permanent Twins Fan]

This is every kid's dream. It's the championship series. The bases are loaded, two outs, down by one run, and here's the pitch . . .

Fantastic when you factor in NYY out of it.

[Permanent Twins Fan]

I just watched the replay of the Frelick double play. Wow, that was something.

If Toronto doesn't go to world series , you can bet the farm the manager is shown the door ...

That would be harsh. The Blue Jays have had a good season after suffering through a pile of injuries. Toronto made quite a turnaround from last year.

Yes it would be harsh  , toronto wants to get to the World Series  , they lost to the twins in 2023 playoffs and I'm sure fans in toronto wanted him gone , they did struggle in 2024 , they won their division in 2025 and looked great against the Yankees in the ALDS  , they're hungry to get to the World Series  ...

I can invision the team going with a fresh voice in 2026 if they don't make it this year , they are close but not quite there ...

Does Turang have experience with turning to let that pitch go off his hip? Ouch. Looked to me that it was headed for his back knee. Does that then become a Keaschall experience? Reactions ruled there and he was quick and smart to avoid the injury. If anything I was surprised he didn't take a timeout to remind himself of the situation. He was hunting a fastball but needed to lay off the high one. Easier to say than do  .....  obviously. Good pitch.

Great game.

I admire how hard that franchise competes in a league playing with the U. S. dollar in a city that runs on CA dollars. Toronto is a fabulous city but they are in a tough place for revenues versus the big markets in the U.S. and yet they always go for it.

Their manager is in a tough spot, for sure. I hope he stays/ I hope Toronto keeps him. The San Diego manager resigned due to the stress and strain on his mental health.

The San Diego manager resigned due to the stress and strain on his mental health.-----   then he is just Proving he is not whats needed there,     its not a profession for the Weak or worrying about what others think,    Twins stay away !!!!!!!!

[Vanimal46]

Didn't take long for Jomboy to break down this bonkers play.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I saw that too, it was a great breakdown. I was hoping he would mention how it was just a couple inches from bouncing over the fence. 

Second best part of the play was that it goes in the books as a ground ball—but the ball never hit the ground at any point during the play, start to finish. 

Best part of the play was that all of the Brewers infielders (unlike the Dodgers baserunners) knew exactly what to do once the ball came in to the infield and did not panic. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Also the umpires got it right 

[Parfigliano]

No pressure MILW
