Phew 😅 😮‍💨 

What's it going to take to get Aleman out for another innings or two 😆

I don't want to see him again, he could put out Jeffers or Keaschall next.

What can you get? Chase Dollander?

I hadn't thought about it, but that isn't a bad idea.

Jackson ever play?  with himself or ?

[Patzky]

Yeah we're not scoring again.

Caratini - 6 RBI’s since August 1? Actually seems fewer than that. I know they played Jeffers a lot but it seems like they went out of their way to go get a functional, switch hitting catcher that could succeed Jeffers. Seems like (another) fail. 

Well, Caratini has 17.4 caught stealing percentage to Jeffers 12.5.

I wonder if Keacsh gets hit by another pitch and sets the team record...would he ask to save the ball?

As forensic evidence?

Now we're putting the game on the line.

TBH, there's more possible benefit from losing than from winning.

Game play has videos of Twins Ks but not of Culpepper getting hit, how bad was it?

95 between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck...

Seems like our catchers miss a ball about once a game

The internet tells me MLB average is between 21-22% caught stealing. I know that’s fuzzy given game situations, throw overs and pitchers not helping out. Framing metrics have mostly been replaced by judgement for challenges. I don’t know how best to evaluate veteran catchers anymore. I don’t feel as confident in evaluating catchers these days I guess. 

[Baumer67]

Typical Twins reliever walk a guy after something happens

[TCanWins]

Is it just my observation, or do Twins batters seem to only be able to hit off 4th/ 5th starters and bottom end bp arms? That explains the 1-2 wins every 4-6 games. Can't hit against 1st/2nd starters or top end bp guys. Can only capitalise on the bottom end guys if they get lucky and the balls fall in the right place in gaps. Hope they can fix this next year

[Baumer67]

I swear the Twins are facing Skubal, they keep striking out

It's as if the Guardians have a functional pitching pipeline or something.

Are the Twins out of challenges?

[Patzky]

Excellent. Way to watch.

[Patzky]

Hoffman in for the 8th.

Man that Kreidler magic left town a while ago. Hope KC is OK. 

[TCanWins]

I guess you can afford to walk Bell and Lewis when Kreidler and Caratini are up next 🤦‍♂️

Kreidler ending the year closer to .650 then .750 OPS was always going to happen.

He has one hit today, same number as the others.
