LMAO

Ah, what?

 

[stocker08]

Well.....that sucks......

Can't make errors like that in a playoff game.

I can't watch the game, could they have gotten 2 on that play?

If Kiriloff fields it cleanly, very good chance at two.

Agree. It would have been close.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Kirilloff being a liability at the plate and also giving up an error in the 1st is not ideal.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Can we not hang some giant blackout curtains in the left field stands to stop the shadows?

It’s gonna be really disappointing is the game was over after 5 hitters in the top of the first.

 

[TRF Guy]

Seems Sonny has settled down. Now let’s get him some runs

I think the sun/shadow combination messed him up.

I think the sun/shadow combination messed him up.

Possibly, but the Twins should know what to expect with these conditions and it doesn't appear to be bothering Houston much.

 

[jham13]

Hope the Twins are not in their anemic at bat mode as really need to put runners on base and get some runs! That error in the first really hurts.

My problem was he had time to get off the base and keep the ball in front of him. Yeah you won’t get 2 that way, but you get 1 and keep guys off base.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Wallner is also not very good right now. The young lefties are not looking great in the bright lights or shadows.

Agreed. Would rest him tomorrow.

Sonny left too many hangers over middle if plate. Bad time for bad start.

Need good Ryan tomorrow.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

The taken strike 3’s and then the flailing at strike 3’s in the other batters box is really annoying. Did the twins not have any game plan for how this guy was gonna pitch. Houston certainly knew what Sonny was gonna do.

 

[TRF Guy]

Squandering one opportunity after another. 9 K’s so far

They’ve put runners on base. That’s not the problem. Getting them home is

 

[From the Parkinglot]

If Willi is gonna get on base he needs to be running. I know when he’s been on base it was 5-0 and 6-1, but if he runs in the 6th you stay out of the double play and it’s a 6-2 game and you’re still batting. He also stayed on 1st when Jeffers hit the ball into center field with no outs. Had he stolen 2nd he would have been on that out and might have scored on a sacrifice to break the seal.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Are the ‘I told you so’ posters here yet? Meatsauce says the twins are hideous.

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Why is Jax coming into a 9-1 game with 1 out in the 9th? Is he not important enough to be all hands on deck tomorrow in a win or go home game? Just let Bailey eat it at this point.

 

[Spaulding!No!]

Looking forward to hearing PA provide the insight on how Houston was cheating.

He won’t have time for that tomorrow with the Jefferson news.

Then he must really despise the Vikings this year. Wonder how often he talks on air about how lousy they've been?

 

[From the Parkinglot]

Can’t say they have not had chances. Also in the postseasons before the twins always failed to hit so this is nothing unusual.

Gametime tomorrow depends on the result of the Texas game. If Texas wins - 6pm, if Texas loses - 1pm.

What a load of crap, and a really shitty thing to do to everyone involved in game day operations.

And complete disrespect for these two teams.

Money and tv don’t give two shits about respect of people.

Do you have that backwards? I thought Texas sweep = night game?

 

[GophersInIowa]

Sorry everyone, this was probably my fault. I started looking ahead to the schedule if they were to advance. Wanted to see if trying to go to an ALCS game would work with our schedule.

 

[GophersInIowa]

Yes he does.

You probably just have to assume it’s an early game and then adjust if needed.
