  1. Moment looks too big for 90% of this Twins baseball team.
  2. Bases loaded and nobody out. Good grief this could be the death knell.
  3. Unreal that Dobnak is getting squeezed. That was a clear strike to Gardner. Meanwhile, Tanaka got a strike call on a ball outside to Cave. How are these umps sleeping at night?
  4. For what it's worth, Eduardo did hit that ball hard and made good contact on that DP. As I'm writing this, the Yankees are getting hits by placing balls away from the shift. Twins just having terrible luck so far both offensively and defensively.
  5. Kepler showing some rust, which is unfortunate because the Twins don't have the time needed to get him into playing shape. Such a tough call for Rocco with Kepler. Do you let him and his 36 HR play, or do you throw in another less-talented guy who hasn't been sitting? So far it looks like the wrong call was made.
  6. That first pitch to Cave was a ball, called a strike. Unfortunate.
  7. Geez man, thought the Twins were out of this inning....now so quickly it's 2 men on. The punishment just doesn't stop.....
  8. Not a great inning from the offense there. This team needs a 1-2-3 inning from Dobnak in a big way. C'mon buddy! No walks! Make 'em swing.
  9. Anyone else get that feeling watching Yankees batters at the plate - that there's like a 90% chance they're going to get a base hit and just a 10% chance they'll make an out? The crowd going nuts, these sluggers just knocking balls all over the place, Twins pitchers walking guys left and right....they just look so extremely overmatched.
  10. LeMeheiu, good grief this guy's killing us.
  11. Eddie made good contact there. Nice to see the Twins get a few runners on at least. Let's go Dobbers.
  12. Alright let's make a little noise here! C'mon Rosario, let's do something!
  13. Wow that had to hurt. Hope Polanco's okay, yeowch.
  14. Twins were just hoping to steal one last night, in my opinion. They played it safe with Berrios, he'll be rested by Game 4 if we need him then. By the time Litell and Stashak faltered, the Twins threw in the towel and let Gibby take more damage. Last night's game didn't matter to the Twins as much as it did the Yankees. Tonight's game will have a much different feel from a managerial perspective, I think. It's gonna be Romo, Rogers, in tight spots, no matter what part of the game the Twins are in. Remember, Yanks burned some bullpen arms too last night.
  15. CJ Cron should have caught the double play relay. He also struck out on a 3-2 pitch that bounced about 10 feet in front of the plate. Cron, Litell, Stashak and of course Gibson just can't or aren't prepared to compete on this stage. Hope we don't see any of them tonight. Tough loss but you gotta have some faith that this team can bounce back. The Nationals were able to turn to Max Scherzer to even up the series on the road against LA. Alas, the Twins' version of a stopper is Randy Dobnak... The disparity in starting pitching between the Twins and other playoff teams is frightful.
  16. Yankees needed this game more than the Twins. Script will flip tomorrow, Twins will be in Game 7 mode. Must win.
  17. My bad, you are right. Let's go get em tomorrow!
  18. I think dropping a pitcher and adding Astudillo was the play.
  19. Seems a mistake to include Gibson on the playoff roster simply as a "thank you" for his service. Baffled at the decision.
  20. Putting in Gibson to me says: "We're going to give the Yanks this game. Rest the remainder of the 'pen and live to fight another day tomorrow". If the Twins get a couple bloops and a blast and steal the game tonight, they'll be ecstatic. If not, they're willing to roll the dice with the rest of the pitchers feeling fresh and down 1-0 in the series entering tomorrow. Tomorrow will be played like a Game 7, guessing Odorizzi will get the nod if the Twins don't come through late tonight.
