Way too early starting lineup for 2020: 1. Arraez-2B 2. Polanco-SS 3. Kepler-RF 4. Cruz-DH 5. Rosario-RF 6. Garver-C 7. Sano-3B 8. Cron-1B 9. Buxton-CF Bench: Adrianza, Astudillo, Cave, Kiriloff Rotation (pipe dreams): Ode, Berrios, Mad Bum, Pineda, Smeltzer. Bully: May, Duffy, Stashak, Rodgers, Romo, Graterol, Littell.

They got bailed out by their goalies last year and a UND team that couldn't score in Amsterdam with a 1 dollar...... When teams pack it in it's so important to get your defense pinching in and finding open lanes to the net. I think we see at least four goals from defensemen this weekend.

If I'm the Twins I go after Ode and let Berrios go to arbitration. The guy was terrible towards the end of the season, and was okay in NY. He doesn't deserve a huge deal. I think this is a big offseason to get Graterol stretched out to a point where he can start games. I think they bring in a free agent pitcher, but it won't be as fancy of a name as we like. Good bye: Castro, Schoop, Perez, Romo, Stewart, Cave.

Can we score 15 this weekend? Please.

I knew they weren't going to win the series, but I thought they may push NY a little bit. What I'll remember most about this series was game #1. Toe to toe going to the 5th inning and Rocco plays it like the middle of June. From there they got their @sses kicked in NY, and showed up at home and didn't hit when it counted. If anything, hopefully Rocco learned about the importance of every inning every pitch, every decision in the postseason. This team has a lot of key pieces back and some dead weight trimmed. It is now up to the guys upstairs to get some starting pitching, even if it means a trade that sets you back a regular.

Biggest story line I think. Guy pitched his tail off. After tonight I hope he is back next year.

So Gibby now? Right Rocco?

Why didn't their left fielder make a head first dive and let it by him? Is that not normal?

Okay Kepler.....big moment.....Britton likes to go hard inside. Great time to wear one.....

Almost tied for more postseason history.....wow. Move over Blackhawks.

Lol....and a warning track fly ball....

Hard hit....right at someone....

It has got to be Ron Gardenhire related.....has to be.

When it isn't your night, it isn't your night.....what the Twins did to piss off the baseball Gods I'll never know.

Why wouldn't the ball hit the umpire square in the leg?

Great start for Ode. Guy pitching for a contract as a UFA. Twins will likely need to resign him. At what cost though?

Ball four.....thanks Gary.....

How stupid is Jake Cave? Honestly....like how many times can he look completely lost out there?

Get through it Ode. Big spot..... And we are shifting....2-0

Worst three guys to have up with em loaded...... Stay in the game guys. Your chances will come.

My Vikes won today. Cousins 22-27.....but against a crappy team..... I'm surprised Green Bay isn't 5-0. We'd never here the end of it from @Oxbow6.

If I'm Bubba I give full freedom to Danny on the headset to unleash everything offensively on the Bengals. Montana put a bunch on them and there is no reason we can't put up 45 plus on this team. It's not a hostile environment, it's a big old quonset with a football field. Huge game for Maag I think.

Kind of what we expected. My goal for the series was to get it to game 5, but seems like a bit of a pipe dream now. If the Twins are serious about winning on Monday the right relievers need to be in down a few runs or up a few runs.... Hopefully this shows upper management we need pitching this offseason. And there will be money available.

I'm such a big Karl guy. Intelligent, a great person, and a guy that's been everywhere in the hockey world. I would not be surprised to see him as a head coach somewhere in the next three years. Maybe here some day.

The zone entries were the biggest thing for me. Giving up posession a man up dumping the puck is never a great hockey play in my book. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to notice them shrink the rink a few times and completely eliminate the pk's ability to to attack indirect passing plays off the wall. (Kind of reminded me of the gophers a few times trying to set up the back door play cross ice too....)
