Playoff Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees 4:07 PM CT, 10/5/19

Count should have been 2-2...

[Vanimal46]

How much longer are we sticking with Dobnak?

[insagt1]

The fuse has been lit....only a matter of time before the bomb goes off. I think the moment is too big for Randy honestly. He is not sharp. And neither are our hitters. Dobnak won't survive the 3rd inning and Twins won't survive this game. This isn't being negative...if you are watching you can see the Yanks are playing with swagger, confidence and they are getting the calls. Its not a fair fight.

Playing with napalm here, mustache guy

[operation mindcrime]

See how you can add master to guys names and make a cool nickname?

bate!

Smells like victory?

[Aggies7]

Oh brother.

[twinsnorth49]

Same issue as Berrios, just not locating pitches. Tanaka is hitting his spots and Dobnak simply isn't. Yankees more than willing to take strikes until he can consistently. 

 

I think Dobby is a little overwhelmed. 

[S.]

Wow, that was a solidly hit ball that no one scored on.

[mike2202]

Twins scared and no spirit.  Sad!

[bighat]

Bases loaded and nobody out. Good grief this could be the death knell.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Haven’t done diddly-poo squat since Edward GIDP

”Diddly-poo!”

 

The lesser known Jim Mora rant, but just as good

Aren’t we all?

Encarnacion is locked in...

Moment looks too big for 90% of this Twins baseball team.

It's like watching the 1927 Yankees play my local high school JV team

[GCTF]

Right about...... Now.

[Aggies7]

We have to get 21 outs (hopefully) with this staff. WOW GOOD LUCK BRO

[FlauerPauer]

Yikes.

[wabene]

The Duffmaster has to play the heel again. I'm rooting for him!

[h2oface]

How do you like that "story" now?

[tvagle]

Duffey in for the Houdini

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bases loaded, no outs.

 

We got them right where we want them.

 

Wait a minute...

 

We're the team that has trouble with that situation.

[strumdatjaguar]

No Cinderella story this afternoon. Duffey trying for a “Houdini”.

[S.]

Biggest moment of the season for Duffy right here. I'll take a strikeout and a double play. In that order, preferably, but I can live with it either way.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Aren’t we all?

Nah

[Don Walcott]

Get out of this without giving up a run, and we win this game.

[Danchat]

I’ve tried not to be Negative Nancy, but I just couldn’t see Dobnak coming through against the Yanks. He just doesn’t have the stuff to strike out MLB hitters... and now we need 6+ innings from the pen. *sighs*

Duffey in for the Houdini

 

And the last words before Houdini died? "I'm tired of fighting"

[twinsnorth49]

 

Encarnacion is locked in...

 

There doesn't look like a hope in hell they get him out, lol.
