I’ve never wanted to see a game five as much as I want to see a game five on Friday.
-
Bonser!
-
Twins have had multiple runners on base in at least 3-4 innings. If they did it before, they can do it again.
-
A lead-off out!
-
LFG boys
-
Well, it was. And yet, six pitches later, it didn’t matter.
-
BIG BREAK
-
I dunno, I would like the Twins to cut the lead to 5-4.
-
Excellent work, Emilio! Ok, let’s start chipping away. Get the crowd back in it.
-
Pagan with an important appearance here. Find a way to hold, please.
-
That was a big time hanger to Bregman.

So much for Sonny keeping the ball in the park.

Actually, if the Rangers advance and the Twins make the playoffs…the Rangers have seven lefties on their ALDS roster: LHP Jordan Montgomery LHP Andrew Heaney LHP Martin Perez LHP Will Smith LHP Brock Burke LHP Cody Bradford LHP Aroldis Chapman Definitely opens up more possibilities for Buxton.
-
When Buxton is confident at the plate, there are few players in the whole sport that are better. That would be immensely valuable in the ALCS or the World Series. However, when he is not, he strikes out over and over again. It’s hard to see a clear path in which he gets enough plate appearances to gain the confidence he needs. The best scenario would be if Lewis is healthy enough to play at 3B, and then he could start vs a LH at DH (let’s say…Martin Perez?), and be a PH option for Wallner or Kiriloff. Would he be a better option than Solano or Farmer or Castro in those PH situations? Not sure. But if he did well in a DH start…maybe? In any event, I don’t think the Twins will make the decision based on sentimentality. Whatever the case, I certainly hope there is a decision to make about whether to roster him for the ALCS and beyond!

Michael A. needs to be on your revised list.

You have to admit, the fact that the White Sox created a “Punch AJ” campaign for him to make the All Star Team in the Last Player Vote-In was absolutely perfect from every angle. -

Ha—I even looked up the transaction sections for Liriano and Escobar before I typed it, but still got it wrong! Thanks for correcting me. Anyway, even better symmetry, since AJ went on to win his ring with the White Sox. -
Yes, you’re right, I misspoke—not to each other, but they still were both acquired on the same day.

I said this in the game thread - I’m annoyed at how much I like AJ as an announcer. He’s really good. Insightful, funny, down-to-earth, self-deprecating. It’s also pretty cool that the Twins traded AJ to the Giants for Francisco Liriano in 2003, who was traded to the [Blue Jays] [edited to] White Sox for Eduardo Escobar in 2012, who was traded for Jhoan Duran in 2018. Twenty years later, AJ in the booth, Duran closing out the win. -
Arraez for López looking pretty great this morning. Definitely moving up the list. It’s also fascinating that the Twins and Houston traded Pressly and Duran to each other five years ago - on the same day!
-
I can’t overstate how much it annoys me that they interview players in the middle of the game. Just stop already.
-
Ok, I’ll grant that. But you would at least acknowledge that the box is the box when it comes to inside and outside, right?
-
I mean, there has to be an actual, defined strike zone, right? If not the white box, then…what?
-
The minor leagues lived or died by the little white box this year. It is literally the strike zone.
-
I don’t think Jeffers is lost, but I was surprised to see him in the lineup today. Or, I was surprised not to see Vazquez. But down 1-0…I get it.
