I just checked the box score , spiere pitched to 3 batters so it said , but i could have sworn it was only 2 batters ....

That's the rule, but he only pitched to 2 batters ,

That throw was right on the money ... Might end up being the best defensive play of the game ...

That was right on the money , might be the best defensive play for the night ...

Yeah , but they got that last year when 3 teams from central made the playoffs ... Seattle has never been there or I would be rooting for a AL central team , Alo rooting for Milwaukee , they've been there in 1982 but lost to St Louis ....

A manufactured run , hit a double , steal third and a sac fly deep brings him home off skubal , Seattle will be doing this all night , at least they better ....

Should be a good high pressure game tonight , pitcher friendly park , Kirby and skubal , wouldn't be surprised if the game is won by a difference of 1 run ... Win or go home , come on Seattle ...

I have to agree it stacks up against Pablo to remain a twin , salary and you don't need him for a rebuild, trade hopefully prospects that are major league ready , it's going to hurt , yes his leadership is useful ... That being said , Ryan i can definitely see being traded or requesting a trade and I really don't know of the 2 pitchers who will bring back the most , it's how other teams perceive who is better Lopez and Ryan , Lopez for 2 years or ryan for whatever he has left of team control , plus I've stated before i dont blame anyone if they request a trade and don't want to play for the twins and that does include buxton waiving his no trade clause .. . Yes it will hurt and sad to see them go , it's better to accept the facts now then wait for a bigger disappointment later , falvey has stated he'd like to keep them , take it for what's it worth ...

Not with falvey making the trades , other teams have falvey figured out and won't surrendered their best talent in a trade with him , he will settle for second best ... You would think falvey would learn from past mistakes , I just see him getting worse , his arrogance is his major problem , he's so predictable just like Rocco was in the dugout ...

Not looking good for the brewers tonight , I guess when your backs are to the wall and facing elimination your adrenaline is peaked , cubbies are executing ... Game 5 will be all pressure so adrenaline on both sides , should be quite a game ...

And they just had a meeting on the mound prior to facing the hitter , I dont get it , there had to be a conversation of how many outs there was and the play should have made at first, I guess they didn't anticipate a ball being hit to the mound and after he bobbled it he threw to the nearest person and that was home plate ... Pure choke , falvey will be call Philadelphia and see if we can pry him away , he'd fit right in with our pitchers unable to throw to a base ...

Better call Bert, he might have an answer ...

They just had a meeting on the mound and only needed 1 out , what do you think they discussed , get the out at any base bit I don't think home plate was included ... Tragic loss for the Phillies , good pitched game until the later innings , I was hoping our ex twins would be the difference maker ...

Been a good close game , the Phillies were gifted a run with that error by pitcher, but dodgers actually were gifted a run with that strike 3 caIl missed ending in a walk to kiki ... getting ready to switch to Brewers cubbies

Are they going to ride Duran for 2 2/3rd innings ... That's asking alot from Duran ...

As Harry Doyle would say , how can they lay off those close pitches ..

Will Robertson follow suit and pull Sanchez after 80 pitches , I say no ...

Hes at 83 pitches , will roberts risk it with Glasgow history of injury ...

Hit the ball to the opposite field , no way our twins can pull that off on a regular basis , Hernandez has hit the ball almost exclusively to right field , even for power ...

Let's hope the Phillies can win today and force a game 5 in Philadelphia ... Put the pressure on the dodgers ..

Think about this ... Twins are getting a new manager and coaches , new ideas and inspiration ... Under Rocco they looked dead in the water , played possum dead at home and got killed on the road , the players never truly came to play for Rocco and Falvey's plan , look at all the veteran players they signed and kept playing them regardless of their lack of production ( does Margot and gallo come to mind ) , who would give full effort playing for an organization that couldn't see the light and continue to take a roster spot from someone better ... Im in a positive mood that a new manager and coaches , the players will play harder and some might even have career years , ( one thing standing in the way though and that is falvey stays out of it because the players all knew Rocco was just a peon , in my opinion the players lacked any inspiration from Rocco because he wasnt the leader , falvey was ) ... I like larnach and I say tender him and build up his trade value and trade him at the deadline if others are ready to step into his shoes , I know there are probably some that can step into those shoes now but the point is he is a major league player and should prosper more under a new direction ... Enthusiasm will be up next season and the core will play better ... Remember sports fan , you heard it here first ... Im not always right but I'm never wrong ...

It be wise for our next manager to have some experience , I'm thinking of Mike Redmond , a former catcher for the Twinsand good club house guy , a former manager that managed the Marlins but was let go with a new front office taking over , he also was bench coach with the rockies , he's been in coaching positions since his retirement as a player .... Mike Redmond has the qualifications for the job as does tingler but I want nobody from the twins coaching staff to fill this position ... The Detroit and Cleveland coaches sounds very capable too but most likely will be purged by another team ...

How quickly i forgot , thanks for the reminders .... Oh happy day , Yankees are eliminated ...

Well its looking like no one is getting eliminated today .... I to am rooting for the Phillies but at the expense of Kershaw who's had a hall fame career , kind of sad if this is his last game .... Wonder if Robert's will send him out for another inning ...

I'm just into baseball and some hockey ... I gave up on football when they gave Peterson a year suspension for disciplining his child , and Ray Lewis was in the wrong the wrong place atcthe wrong time to a murder , so he was charged with accessory but was given immunity because he turned states evidence to convict the trigger man , NFL did not suspend him for any games for being in a situation such as that , so by suspending Peterson for a year , the NFL told me that child abuse was worse than murder ...
