Simply had to untie the game there. Simply had to.

Well dang it, can't say I'm shocked but that's baseball.

Bert: "I didn't think he'd hit into a double play, but he did."

 

Has he watched Twins baseball at all the past 12 years?

Still more game to be played.

Would have been optimal.  Getting one run, however, is way better than being down 1.

I'm not bashing, but 2 things:

 

1) Mauer when NOT HITTING WITH RUNNERS IN SCORING POSITION: .241.

 

2) Plouffe and Mauer have now combined for 50 double plays grounded into. (I wonder what the teammate tandem record is?)

Paul Molitor should be fired on the spot if he lets Perkins face Santana

Kind of like this is a must win, but it's not really a MUST win, but damn, they really must win this one!

Whoa hey, what a surprise running into you after that play.......

Of course.  Think they gotta win out here in the last 4 to have a shot.  3-1 at worst.  AND hope the Rangers/Angels split.

On the other hand, MLB teams have grounded into approximately 4500 double plays this year.

Nice 1-2-3! Now let's see the leadoff hitter go about 470' to left.

I nearly pressed submit on a post declaring my trust in Boyer is greater than Perkins.

 

Thank you Perk for letting me de-commit from that frightful thought.

Molitor keeps his job another half inning.

Which is more unlikely, Santana walking with one out or Plouffe reaching on an infield grounder with one out?

Bert just said that Santana tried to picket. What is his beef?

Yes

Need a Rosario triple here.

Nice ball flip!!!

Making that error pay would be the best payback imaginable for the bat toss.

Got a movie idea for you: White Guys Can't Run. Edgy film shot in Minnesota....

NICE!!!

Time to earn your leadership title, Torii!

I'm not convinced Plouffe even reaches second there.....

Glad there's no tension here.

Nice.

Just got off the phone after talking to Sprint customer support. I feel like Bill Murray in Ghostbusters after he got slimed.

Get Jepsen up if he isn't already!

Torii took an elbow to the groin

Regain the lead!!
