Great baseball being played and big moments taking place.  Jorge Polanco has always been tough when it mattered. Two home runs against the best pitcher in the American League is an amazing day. M

What a game. Entire postseason has been largely great

It is really hard to win playoff games against big time pitching when you rely primarily on stringing together multiple hits in multiple innings to score multiple runs. It's why homers win in the play

Polanco comes through again...

Nice to see Polanco had a good season and is having some clutch hits in the playoffs  , I'm happy for him but kinda wish he was still wearing a twins uniform  ...

Blame it on the only good season Julien has had/will have as a Twin (2023)...

Toronto's bat's silent (so far) after a big series against the Yankees, maybe off days are over-rated...

A bunch in a row in October probably right.

If I was the owner of a baseball team and I was watching former players having good seasons with other teams , I would be furious and I would want someone held accountable  , and I'd fire the main culprit who put the plan in motion ...

Very few players play their whole career for one team anymore, you'd be a very petty, bitter man...

Observing the AL Play-offs, BOS was the weakest team, then NYY. AL East fans complained that NYY shouldn't have to play against BOS, thinking that both teams would win against both AL Central teams. But if that had happened, IMO, CLE would have beaten BOS easily & DET would have beaten NYY. Both AL Central teams would have advanced in that case. TOR would have had a much more difficult time against DET than NYY going all 5 games & maybe not advanced. 

All AL East experts picked TOR to win the 1st TOR/ SEA game (it was sad). Because TOR had an easy series against NYY & had plenty of rest. And of SEA's tough series against DET & the great 15 inning game where SEA burned their top 3 SPs. TOR's ace was facing SEA's #4 SP. Even with this big disadvantage SEA came out on top largely due to our good friend Jorge Polanco, who knocked in the last 2 of 3 runs. (I predicted SEA to win the ALC & Polanco the MVP).

Under the premise of splitting the AL East & Central teams. TOR would not have had the big advantage, if it had advanced at all against DET.

Polanco may have had his faults, but I never doubted that he was our best clutch hitter at the time.   (Missed this game, BTW)

Polanco's shortcomings were due to the Twins playing him for a long time despite it being obvious he was injured. This screwed up his ankles, then his knees. Polanco could have had MVP-type seasons & helped the Twins go much further. Polanco no doubt always came through in the clutch. I miss him.

You miss interpret but I may have steered you wrong ,  i should have been more clearer , players go to other teams and perform better so it seems but not always the case  , we see over half a dozen ex twins in an allstar game at times ...

Yes it's hard for players to stay with one team especially when a team ( small to mid market ) can't afford to keep them ,  but there are more players that play their whole careers with the large market  ...

Geez, Louie's getting used even more with the Jays than Rocco was. Gotta love the big hits from Jorge!

Gotta admit, I don’t get why Toronto is working Varland like a mule.

And I don’t get why they are carrying five starters this series.

I am rooting for the Dodgers regardless. Even more so that the Brewers keep going with the opener strategy 

I’m always going to go for the team who hasn’t ever been there or hasn’t been in a while. I’m hoping that karma exists
