There will be heartburn (Ranger runners on base) before this game ends (IMHO).

Jeffers with four very impactful at-bats. Good good, two bad. In addition, a base running mistake and a throw out on a steal attempt.

Duran for the 8th. If pagan comes in for the 9th I might stop being a fan 

Hmmm, Duran for 2 innings

 

LOL. Nothing to do but laugh

New law needed, ? Any Adult who catches a ball in the stands, needs to find the first Kid with That Pleez Mr, look and give up the ball,  Or get Booed  for at least 20 seconds, Granted there are a few exceptions,  Pet Peeve i have !!!

The exception would be if there's a kid at home who would get the ball.

Rocco got burned BIG, i was very very curious why he p.r. celestino,   Anyone ????

If we even get to the 9th. If duran starts falling back to earth, forget it. There’s no hope 

Really can't make this stuff up.

100% thank you

would've been a hell of a catch, but Celly probably should've caught that

This should surprise no one.  And, if they lose, could be a season back breaker.

4 101 mph 4 seamers after that homer 

Why do we always have these guys they can’t get out?  Often former Twins.  Garver not so much so far.  I fear him coming up now.

Defensive replacement for Kirilloff. The problem was the next hitter (Gordon) fouled a ball off his knee and now has been removed from the game.

think it has more to do with our pitchers than their hitters

Agree with booth.  Too many non fast balls from Duran.

If Gilbert makes that catch, ??  to much by the numbers , yesterday he made late moves also, that i think made a difference in losing,  Flip A coin ??

Looks like the Duffer gets the 9th. What's wrong with this picture?

Duffey for the 9th! Insurance runs please!!!!!!!!

Celestino running actually lead to a pretty important run right now. Pick off throw wouldn't have happened with AK on 1st.

Twins had the 9th best ERA in baseball in 2019. 4th best FIP. 4th most pitching fWAR. 4th best BB/9. 5th best HR/9. The Twins pitching in 2019 was top 10 in almost every major pitching category and top 5 in most. They were very good. Fans just remember them for being the Bomba squad when they were actually quite a complete team. Until injuries and PED suspensions crept up in the end.

So true that team limped into the playoffs hence the streak

Celestino drew a pickoff throw to 1st as a pinch runner that scored the run that is currently the difference in the game. Seems like a pretty successful move to me.

Dear Baseball Gods ,  Can we please have this game today, My old ticker getting a workout lately,
