And the inning ends on a GDP. Another inning for Romo or go with Alcala or maybe Rogers?

 

I was going to say that Buxton needs to steal here, but it's hard to do that when your next batter hits into a GIDP on the very first pitch of the AB.

I know buxton has been hitting tremendously but he’s gotta bunt there. 

Why do the Twins never tell Buck to steal??? Or at least a hit and run.

 

This is just an awful situation to hit into a double play.

Once more into the breach!

Play at the hot corner has been... Hot

I don't like them pitching to Cabrera. He's not what he was, but he's a HOFer.

That should have been a run.

What a loss this would be.

Kee-rap!

 

Stinks that an important game like this (and the White Sox tonight) would be decided on a women’s softball extra inning rule 

 

It has the advantage of potentially expediting losses... like tonight.

 

Of course. Theres no way Rogers should be allowed to pitch in high leverage situations in the playoffs.

Oh Taylor and his "bad luck." Every single time he pitches.

Rogers is done.

Oh Taylor and his "bad luck." Every single time he pitches.

Not bad luck, just bad

Twins need to find a closer in the off-season. Hopefully they look at Colome

 

Not bad luck, just bad

Agreed.

Barring a comeback, we deserve every bit of the butt kicking we’re about to get in the WC round. To struggle All season long with the tigers like they’re the ‘61 yanks is inexcusable.

I know Rogers' FIP is good... but he's giving up way too much good contact. This is more than just "bad luck". He's lucky he had Buxton in CF or that's a double.

Torii Hunter--"we got a guy out there".

Lol these rules are a joke

Bwaa hah hah! You guys thought I was joking about midnight...

If they ever do install the extra inning rule permanently, it needs to not happen in September. This isn’t how games should be decided down the stretch

 

Lol these rules are a joke

Dicknjustin were spouting the fallacy that the runner-on-second rule shortens games. The two teams have an equal chance at scoring whether there's a runner on second or not. It makes it more likely that runs will score but it gives neither team an advantage and therefore does not shorten games.

800’ foul ball or a swing and miss. Rarely an in between 

This is Rogers' 20th appearance of the season. He's only had 5 "clean" innings the whole season.

 

He's given up at least one hit in 14 of 20 and he walked one the other day in a hitless inning. 

 

I would absolutely not trust him in any sort of leverage spot in the playoffs. Even the outs have been awfully loud this year.

Omg that was a strike loly

800’ foul ball or a swing and miss. Rarely an in between

do you even like this team

 

do you even like this team

No I’m just watching at almost midnight for kicks.

They gotta walk kepler right

Omg
