So we should be having inexperienced pitchers coming in in important spots these next two nights right?
I don't see Cleveland dropping a game to Pittsburgh, and that's okay. Its okay for the Twins to win one game and the Tribe and even Chicago to win out because we win the three way tie.
It wouldn't be Minnesota Sports right to take the bull by the horns and win these next two games. I have a scary feeling about what tonight's lineup will look like.
You left out Buxton in the first. Rocco has got to start managing with his head or his bench coaches have to speak up. This year has taught me how valuable Derek Shelton was last season and why he is now a major league manager.
So....Twins win one game the rest of the way and the Indians win out we've got ourselves the 3rd seed and the Houston cheaters.
Oakland winning out helps.
I come in this thread for a good chuckle. We all have our beliefs, and expressing them is what is great about America.
Unfortunately its gotten to the point where "anyone who disagrees with me is Hilter". The dialogue is gone.
At least you and I can talk Twins baseball right?
Completely agree. I'm guessing he stays in town though as he plays a multitude of positions.
And now Buxton takes one to the head. Can't catch a break.
The Sox will be on the road for the postseason if they don't wake up. Unfortunately they just poked the crap out of the bear tonight, and now the Cubs may care again.
I'd actually like it to be the Yankees honestly. They are dreadful on the road and honestly if we are going to get king kong off our back it may as well be this year.
Losing to them again for the &%##* time wouldn't bug me. They own us in the playoffs, nothing we can do to change that.
Arraez still out. Boy would it be huge to get him back for the postseason. Guessing Cruz is just precautionary. Playoff lineup gives me hope...
1. Buck
2. Arraez
3. Donaldson
4. Cruz
5. Rosario
6. Sano
7. Polanco
8. Kepler/Cave
9. Jeffers/Garver
The Twins win out and they win the division. Simple as that. Chi Sox have the Cubs to end the year, I can't see them winning four straight starting today. Plus they aren't going to move up Giolitto to Sunday instead of start him in Game 1 of the postseason.
The Twins were given a gift, now take it and run with it. Plus they miss Bauer.
Boy....that 11A group is thin on Western teams.
Dickinson, St. Marys, Watford City, Belcourt. I guess they'd make Devils Lake, and Jamestown West teams.
Happy bus trips.
If they walk Cabrera they can play the infield back and that ball that Candelaria or however you spell it hits is a double play ball.
One of these times me yelling at the TV for them to walk Cabrera with a base open will pay off and he will strikeout.
Would love to see a statistic on how much we attempt moving runners on non 3-2 counts. Have to be dead last. I can't remember the last time we hit and ran.
Frustrating game. Better to win ugly than lose ugly. I miss Arraez. Hopefully he's back at some point.
