Unleash the Sleestak!!!!!

EDDIE!!!

Jaylin Davis 1-3 with a BB in his debut so far!

EDDIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Brad Hand has had quite the second half, hasn't he?

Francona: “he’s our closer, dammit” ... *spits tobacco*

 

Like I have said, give me Rocco 6 days a week. Maybe that seventh day Francona wins on pure old-school-ness, but those other six days I’ll take the new guy, thankyouverymuch

The closer is actually one of the few things in baseball that I wouldn't mind going away. I always thought it made no sense to bring a guy in that does not match up well with the lineup simply because it was the ninth inning. 

BRUSDAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mercado just made an unreal play to keep the Indians in the lead. Unreal.

And abreu never tagged for some unknown reason

Jeepers creepers.

 

I know it's been a long night for everybody, umps included--

 

But there's simply no excuse for that strike call on Tortuga.

 

That's just disgraceful.

Cleveland wins.

If Cleveland would have lost that, it would have been the epic meltdown of the year.

Ian Miller walks there

Arraez is one of the most valuable players on our team, in my opinion. 

Save situation.

 

Who'da thunk?

Good eyes ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!

 

Can you stay up late enough for this?

Don't you youngsters have a bedtime?

Sox should just give up the bomba, otherwise, they'll pay for it tomorrow.

Okay, Sox, can't say you weren't warned!

Oh well...

Eh, the Twins probably don't win this one because they only scratched 2 runs across, but something's got to be done with Berrios. You can't trot this guy into a playoff series the way he's pitched the last 3 weeks.

think you’re disappointed? i’m the guy who predicted a 162-0 season for the twins.

Berrios had another bad outing, Pensacola lost a heartbreaker, and Cedar Rapids loses their first game in their playoff series. Not the best night for the Twins org 

Welp...

 

 

We got shut down by somebody's Ace. It happens. Our "Ace" on the other hand....

 

It's too bad this September schedule wasn't flipped a bit- 1st 2 weeks are all tough teams, last 2 weeks are the bottom-feeders of the Central. If it were the other way around, it would have been perfect to rest Berrios  and Gibby, and maybe even Pineda for a turn, then tune up for potential playoffs. But really can't rest those guys against BoSox, Washington, and Cleveland.  

 

Get 'em tomorrow, boys. We've got 7 more against the Tribe to come, I'd love to stay at least 5 up before we take 'em on again.

Yes.

 

But no one ever tells me when it is...

I remember that prediction. It was right around the All-Star break, right?

Get 'em tomorrow, boys. We've got 7 more against the Tribe to come, I'd love to stay at least 5 up before we take 'em on again.

Actually only 6 more against the Tribe, if my math is right. 6 of the next 10 games.
