I called it a hit and run but In retrospect, Miranda had two strikes so he’s swinging at anything close, and Palacios was just running because if he gets caught Miranda leads off the next inning with a fresh count.
Whatever that wasnt the point. The complaints about Molitor, right or wrong, mostly wrong probably, but the complaints about Molitor were the same as the complaints at about Rocco…he can’t manage the bullpen, he’s too friendly with the players…..
This whole Yankees are evil schtick is just a childish attempt to excuse the shortcomings of teams who are not very good for a number of reasons and in the Twins case, payroll is far down the list of reasons as to why they can’t compete. Keep in mind they just got swept by the Royals. Maybe the Twins are evil because they dupe their fans into believing they have a good baseball team when in fact they are at best, less than average. I would like to see Judge get the triple crown, that’s a personal achievement, not a Yankee achievement anyway.
I am not surprised, not at all, but as far as your “lucky” win comment, it’s the majors, a win is a win, you could argue the Yankees had “lucky” wins against the Twins…. But I wouldn’t, a win is a win
Two weeks ago the Twins beat the Yankees and were heading home to face Cleveland with a chance to make a run for the division. Today the Royals complete a sweep against the Twins. A pathetic non effort by this team which has gotten progressively worse since the end of May.
The Twins elimination number is ten. Cleveland has won the season series so they win the tiebreaker. The way this series is going it could be 6 by tomorrow.
