    Yep! He waited on his pitch and hit a pea into the hole for a solid base hit! He's baaaack! Too bad Mauer's wheels prevented him from getting an RBI.

    Too true! Dick has been berating this "gimmick" since yesterday, saying how pointless it is. Why? I think it's a pretty cool thing for a player to do, especially on the 2nd-to-last day during a lost season. I don't think it's unprofessional, nor am I bothered by it...

    Sano at DH! Woah, let's see how this goes, gang. Yep, the Twins will now definitely be going to New York for Tuesday's game. Yeeeeahhhhooo! Bring it on, Yankees. Buxton getting a rest today I see.

    Some tough choices. Boils down to these 3 for me: Santana. 16-8 with a 3.28 ERA. Dozier. 34 HR and 90+ RBI. Rosario: .290, 27 HR and 80 RBI. I go with Santana. The ace, the stopper, the even-keel attitude. He gets my vote.

    I would not DH him in New York - unless the Twins DH him the next 2 games against the Tigers and he hammers the ball all over the place. I prefer to use Sano as a pinch-hitter, or better yet, simply a threat. The fact that the Twins have access to this guy is enough to scare another team. Maybe a situation arises with men on 2nd and 3rd late in the game. The Yanks decide they'll pitch to Dozier, rather than walk him and have Sano come up with the bases loaded. When Dozier hits a 3-run homer on a high fastball, the Twins can pull Sano back from the on-deck circle.

    To be honest (and I hope I don't regret saying this), I'm glad the Twins will face Severino. He's great, but he's right-handed. The Twins seem to have all kinds of trouble against lefties. I'd be more worried if a guy like CC Sabathia was on the mound - just a gut feeling here. Severino's young and an early run or two could shake him up. If the Twins could somehow stake an early 4-0 lead they just might have a chance. However, that fireball lefty closer the Yanks have is almost impossible to hit, so going into the 9th down just 1-2 runs might be insurmountable.

    Holy crap, I'm so happy! Bring on the Yanks, we've got them right where we want 'em: on the brink of elimination. What a year. The last week or so during the trading deadline was such a roller coaster, with the sweep at the hands of the Dodgers probably being the low point. To see this team claw back and not give up...just...wow. Erv's been THE MAN all year and having a guy like that for a one-game playoff is huge. How about a classic Erv complete game next Tuesday?

    C'mon, Matty. Just throw the dang ball down the pipe.
  9. bighat
    Let 'em hit!
  10. bighat
    Granite with POWER!

    News on Detroit pitcher: non-displaced fracture of his leg on that Mauer zinger.
  12. bighat
    Robbie G with the big base rap.
  13. bighat
    Escobar, whattaguy. Let's pile a couple more on here boys.
  14. bighat
    We're really doing it, boys!
  15. bighat
    Polanco picked off but throw hits him in the back, Twins needed a break.
  16. bighat
    This Boyd kid is just baffling the Twins. Very frustrating to watch the Twins bats regress after 2 nice games.
  17. bighat
    Big Erv. Big Trouble.
  18. bighat
    This looked like the start to a laugher, not so funny anymore!
  19. bighat
    Nice way to start, reckon.
  20. bighat
    I am excited but I'm curbing my enthusiasm 'til the Twins lock this one down. At this point I'm taking an ultra conservative approach here. It makes me nervous when Dick mentions playoff tickets on the air, LOL. One game at a time, boys. Looking forward to seeing Erv take the hill tonight.

    I think Joe's fine. The dude I was responding to suggested Joe should sit. I was trying to say: "in a perfect world, we could give Joe a break - but even the guys that could use one, aren't going to get it".
  22. bighat
    Joe needs a break, so does Escobar. But it appears they'll be in the lineup come heck or high water as long as the Wild Card isn't settled. This is why Joe got breathers during the season, they say. So he could play now.
  23. bighat
    C'mon Twins close this out.
  24. bighat
    Richard is really bothered by that band making a ruckus outside the stadium isn't he? Take it easy, Dick - focus on the game and not the concert buddy.

    Gibson's a great fielder. If he pitches a bit better one of these years, he might win a gold glove.
