Great play from Pena. These RISP numbers are gonna be the reason the Twins dont win the series. Teams like the Astros take advantage when they get their base runners

They had 8 or 9 LOB in game 1 alone which left me worried.

Fresh set of outs and 5 runs, I let Hunter go back out there for at least 1 more inning, maybe even the 8th so we can save the bp in case we need to unload arms in game 4.

Is Verlander going tomorrow?

That's the only chance the twins got is if they need to go Urquidy/BP day

We win tonight they are throwing Urquidy and saving Verlander for a comfortable game 5 at home.

And no, you think Urquidy is an easy lunch, he has won multiple WS games and critical Big Games on the road for us just this year. He is our best pitcher when the lights are brightest actually.

Abreu has now gone an insane 29 games with no runners scored in 27 high leverage appearances

Wonder if Dusty will go with JP France or Urquidy tomorrow. Might even do both

Urquidy I think was already announced as the starter, but yeah you go with him and France depending on how many innings you get. Maybe Hunter again in long relief. Then your murderers for 7-8-9

Ump fkd up that at bat for Tuve and Bregman

Wouldn't mind that at all. You know Maldy will be catcher so Uncle Mike will be brought back in. What a way to not prove Dusty wrong by Diaz

He is grossly mishandling Diaz bringing him in cold against playoff pitchers after a 2 week absence. Future is very bright though. If Maldy can navigate us through this series, the ALCS and another WS we owe Dusty and Maldy an apology


But I don’t want to see either of their asses in the clubhouse for the 24 season

Keep pitching to Alvarez

 

[Spence]

Yordan is making a serious case for playoff Bonds or Papi

 

[TrillaMonsoon]

Lol what the fukk. Pride always the downfall of fools

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

Crush their spirit

 

[Regular_P]

Keep pitching to Alvarez

MLB.com ranked him as the 20th best player in the POSTSEASON.
