PS Game Thread "Luke" Twins vs Yankees 7:40pm cdt 10/7/2019ad

[Richie the Rally Goat]

He needs to get that runner in from third base. This team can't afford 'good' pop outs.

agreed, and clearly the pop up wasn’t ‘good’. There is a difference between process and results.

[bighat]

The problem with having an all-or-nothing guy like Sano come up during a rally like that - he doesn't make productive outs.

 

Marwin's at-bat was just awful considering his experience and talent.

 

Cave, well, we all expected that. He looked overmatched.

 

This team just doesn't know how to scratch runs together.

[insagt1]

There are no words. We are doomed. That was the worst exhibition of hitting I have ever seen in this situation. SAno, Gonzo and Cave with 3 simply horrific AB's. I knew when Rosario's ball didn't clear the fence we were in trouble.

 

My goodness...the Yankees are in the Twins head bigtime. gonzo and Cave looked ridiculous up there. This is just so damned frustrating.

[AceWrigley]

It's like pushing an anvil uphill. Double, Walk, Single. No Runs. Bupkis.

[VATwinsFan]

Yankees would have scored at least two in that situation.

More like 5.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Might as well have sent Rosario home on Arraez's hit.

He would of been Toast,  HINDSIGHT . HEAR YA . ITS GETTING OLD

[Blake]

Le Sigh.

[LaBombo]

 

Yankees would have scored at least two in that situation.

 

They'll probably remove any doubt about that in the next couple of innings.

[twins_89]

Gonzalez strikes out swinging at a pitch out of the strike zone and Cave follows up by watching strike three. That was as awful a showing with the bases loaded as I can remember.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

They had a 10% chance of winning the series entering the game, based on the 2-2-1 format's history.

 

If they score 0 runs with bases loaded and no outs, that probability drops to .000000001%

 

Ok, fine, I just made that up by mashing a bunch of zero's, but I bet it's true anyway.

Best kind of stats

 

But we got them sitting on the pinocle of hubris. Well done Cave. Next time they'll think they can do that again...

[operation mindcrime]

That was not the grand slam or even bases clearing double I was hoping for...

I would've taken a walk, hit batter or a wild pitch!

[insagt1]

It was a terrible AB....you just can't be doing this in an elimination game. Sorry. Not feeling the least bit charitable about a pop out tothe mound.

[Blake]

On the bright side, the Twins made Severino work and he won't be in the game much longer.

 

So, Yankee bullpen!

 

Oh, wait....

[twinsnorth49]

 

Yankees would have scored at least two in that situation.

 

Or 4, like last time. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Jake! Mow em down! Go get the Snapper

[USAFChief]

 

It was a terrible AB....you just can't be doing this in an elimination game. Sorry. Not feeling the least bit charitable about a pop out tothe mound.

That was not a terrible AB from Sano.

 

Get a grip.

[FLTwinsGuy]

Lol Cave...ok bed time

[FlauerPauer]

HEY URSHILA! NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SPELL YOUR NAME!!!!

[Aggies7]

Omg get jake cave out of this game

[gocgo]

That last pitch tells me that Cave is guessing...and just guessed on defense...not even close. We look bush league.

[USAFChief]

Awful pitch from Odo, TERRIBLE job by Cave. That's just a routine single.

[mrtwinsfan]

 CAVE SHOWS HIS SKILLS AGAIN  aWFULL PLAY

[Riverbrian]

I'm thinking of getting a walrus. Keeping it in the neighbors swimming pool. 

 

Do you think the Neighbor will mind? 

 

 

[ashbury]

That dive by Cave brings back memories of a HR in KC last year....

[operation mindcrime]

Where's LaMonte Wade?

[twinsnorth49]

WTF............Cave?!!!!

 

 

Way too good a 1-2 pitch Jake. 

[VATwinsFan]

I guess it's up to Jake to hold them, but it's not gonna be easy with that kind of defense behind him.

[insagt1]

Now Cave misplays one and Yanks are in business. Twins will regret not scoring because the game will get out of hand shortly. Nothing is going right....again.

[LaBombo]

Cave almost had that, in the sense that both he and the ball were briefly in the air at the same time.

 

Hey, it coulda been worse, he could have just taken a running dive between pitches.
