[SanoMustGo]

Twins won but they better get their **** together. What a mess. Horrible play by both teams this series.

[Aggies7]

Have to give credit to Fulmer. I don’t trust him at all but he showed some stones there

This ump is really bad. Benefiting us greatly right now.

The crew chief was the worst of the four, but he owed it to them and the Twins have had their share of bad calls at Yankee Stadium so it’s about time 

[MMMordabito]

****in' finally!

[RpR]

What was MIranda doing, do not let him field.

Twins should have won two the games.

There's a construction analogy for this game. It involves two monkeys and a football

[Mortimerkenny21]

Jimminy Christmas that got ugly at the end! And some bad boneheaded plays/baserunning! But a win against the damn Yankees..I'll take it. Winnah!

The yaknees got their 8th inning run almost solely due to bad umpiring.

Yeah they have nothing to complain about

The Twins need to get serious now, at least win the series against the groot crew

For real. Surely Buxton, Polanco, Larnach, Jeffers and the other half our starting rotation should be back soon

If there is a stat for team base-running WAR, I'm pretty sure the 2022 Twins would be close to the bottom all-time.

Radio guys mentioned yesterday that the metrics say we're the second-worst baserunning team.   I'm not surprised.

Lordy, does the worst one have a better record than the Twins?

He eventually did, but it was nail-biting time.

Eddie Guardado did that on a nightly basis when he was our closer.

 I think they said it was the Nationals . . . if I remember correctly, no.

Larnach and Jeffers would not be plus, let them totally recover and earn their spot next spring.

However, it seems to me that he succeeded far more often than not.  This year, can't say that for anyone in the pen not named Duran.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So we made ground on Cleveland? It has been a while...

Why , he was one of three outs and not the one who struck out or fell down while making an out.

They took the lefty out.
