Not much hitting yesterday other than Dodger game. Pitching, pitching, pitching.

That's playoff baseball.
Anyone remember the greatest World Series ever when the Twins beat the Braves in 1991? Great pitching beats great hitting.

Yesterday Skubel came to play. Man that was a dominant pitching performance over Cleveland. I thought I was watching Nolan Ryan again. Skubel is hitting over 100 after throwing over 100 pitches and dominating Cleveland hitters.

He's pretty good 😉. Unfortunately, he can only throw once in this 3 game series. Expect Cleveland to come back strong today.

Probably Skubal is done for the series, but a G3 facing elimination it's not unthinkable for him to throw an inning in relief.

Highly doubtful considering tossed 107 pitches, but I bet he brings his cleats if Cleveland does win today.
 




Look at the RF for the home team. I have little doubt he could still be a solid player.

Here’s hoping the Sox can win tonight, so the second crappiest manager behind Davy (I ain’t no Lopes) Roberts, Aaron Boone’s Farm, gets the axe. George would have hired and fired him twice already😎

I wonder if Hal was adopted 🥸?

And then the Twins hire Aaron Boone. Actually probably not. He might tell Derek where to stick his spreadsheet.
 



Idiotic of MLB on a day with no NFL and very limited NCAA football to have zero Playoff games scheduled today.

Beyond stupid.

Fried vs crochet was by far the best game of the postseason so far in no small part to both of them being allowed to pitch.

I cannot stand bullpen games no matter the circumstances.

In general I agree with you. However in a "win or go home contest" a manager has to do whatever is necessary to survive.

For Tom Kelly with Jack Morris it was obvious, but it's not the how it's played currently.
 

Toronto will now use up aout five or six pitchers because they wanted to take out a guy with a no hitter and about 73 pitches.
