    1. Lopez 2. Ryan 3. Paddack 4. Ober 5. Varland Yeah, the front office will need to do something. Wouldn't be shocked if Sonny's back.

    The play Kirilloff missed - you know who makes it.... Joey Gallo. Ducks...

    I'm not really angry. This team exceeded expectations and there's just too many young guys being asked to go toe-to-toe with a baseball dynasty. On a personal note, my dad went into the hospital on February 14th and was on and off a ventilator until he passed away on August 9th. I went and saw him nearly everyday. It was mentally and emotionally draining to see him like that. Baseball was such a pleasant escape for me and while I've been a Twins fan for over 30 years, this team was a special one for me because of the emotional attachment that I developed with it. Win or lose, I'll have fond memories of this group and how they helped provide a distraction during an otherwise horrendous time.

    If there's less than 2 guys on base - just walk him.

    Game was lost when Lewis struck out. Base hit in that spot and the entire complexion of the game changes.

    What's that saying in sports - something about needing to lose before you can win. Twins' young guys are going through it right now. Thought Correa would be enough to get them across the finish line - and he still might be - but if you Kirilloff, Julien, Lewis, Jeffers and Wallner learning on the job in October. Not an easy thing to do.
  7. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Agreed. Was dreading the broadcasts but I think they did really well. Enjoyed Wainright's perspective.

    Gray's a bulldog and he's pitching with a sense of urgency. It won't be easy but I think he will outpitch Javier. And I think the homefield advantage is going to loom really large on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    This. It's 2023. Not 2012. If they trot Verlander out there on 3 days rest, they'll regret it.

    This Twins' team is the product of Carlos Correa. They're following his lead. Statistically, he's one of the best post-season players of all time. Then you add in the leadership, quiet confidence and swagger. Correa is doing for the Twins what Tom Brady did for the Bucs.
  11. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Correa's an absolute stud. He's not going to let the Twins lose this series.
  12. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Verlander on short rest is exactly what you want. He hasn't been the Verlander of old for most of the season and while he was dominant on Saturday, I don't think he could turn around on short rest and do the same thing in game 4. Twins can't worry about Friday. There doesn't have to be a game on Friday. Handle your business on Tuesday and Wednesday, end the series.
  13. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Correa's one of the clutchest players in recent memory. Akin to Derek Jeter.
  14. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    This. The Twins have options for the ALCS. Ober, Maeda and Paddack can piggyback Ryan's start in game 1 - presuming the Twins win today.
  15. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Honestly, I'd go out longer than 8 years. Sure, it is a risk if he gets injured but it is a risk the Twins have to take. I'd go out 12 years.
  16. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Enjoyed Berrios time as a Twin and wish him a long and productive career. With that said, I hope the Twins unload on him today.
  17. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Houston has the championship pedigree. Do I necessarily think it would be an upset? No. But the talking heads and media pundits would lose their minds if the Twins beat the Astros.
  18. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Not going to lie. When Jax gave up the lead-off double, I had visions of a crooked number inning for Toronto. He settled down and got the 3 biggest outs of his career to date.
  19. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Twins need to give Royce a 10+ year deal this off-season.
  20. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Getting way ahead of yourself is part of the fun in being a fan. I'll play along. If the Twins were able to pull off the upset and beat Houston, they're going to the World Series.
  21. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Royce Lewis and Carlos Correa - they have it. So too does Christian Vazquez and I think he'll have a 'moment' if the Twins make a run in October. But back to Lewis and Correa. Lewis exorcised about 20 years worth of demons in the first inning and Correa's play to get Bichette at home plate - not sure there's too many shortstops - past or present - that could've made that play. I know people soured on Correa after a down regular season but that play is why he's here.
  22. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Regarding Gallo - the Twins like doing business with Boras. That's the primary reason Gallo is still around.
  23. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    That's a big time series win against a team that is desperate to win games. Impressive.
  24. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Falvey and Levine take grief - and rightfully so, but Solano and Castro were afterthoughts when signed but both of them have loomed large this season.
  25. Twins_Fan_in_NJ
    Hopefully the division is wrapped up this weekend...
